Steve G. was always professional, organized, and kind in our correspondences. A few days before our event, Steve G. emailed me to find out when he should arrive and on the day of the ceremony he was early. He stayed at the site to set up the equipment and made sure that it worked (which it did). His equipment was professional grade and in great condition. He also brought a microphone just in case we needed it. After our ceremony, Steve took down the set up for us. Steve G. was wonderful to work with and sent me a thank you email today (the day after our event). My husband and I would definitely recommend Steve G's Music Connection!

You know that's remarkable as well as I do. I recently had my Fender Strat set up here by Larry, and I could not be more pleased: knowledgeable staff, affordable pricing, accurate craftsmanship, personal service and a timely completion that NONE of the other shops in town can beat let alone approach. My Strat plays much better. Looking for something new? Lincoln Music House offers a nice selection of guitars and other music instruments, accessories, too! Thank you, Bob, Larry and Al!

I used to love the service here but I had an unfortunate incident in where I had to return an item I bought & only 11 days after I bought it & I was made to feel about two inches tall when I asked for the favor. Im a disabled Iraq veteran on a fixed income & I had some bad luck fall upon me & I was made to feel like I was going to bankrupt the business but fortunately the owners wife intervened & allowed my return. I cane back the next month & I bought a bass off of them, which cost 4x as much as the item I returned, & I did it as a thanks for helping me the prior month but instead of thank you, i got a sarcastic comment from the owner about if I was going to return the guitar too! I already paid for the bass otherwise I was ready to give it right back but I just kept my mouth shut despite being highly insulted. That was the last time I set foot i.n Lincoln Music House I hope their business gets better because they turned me off after going there for over 35 years. It's a shame because with Uncle Bob's going out of business, there aren't a lot of mom & pop stores left but customer service is #1 in my book & they definitely drove me away with their poor attitudes & it's a shame. Still, if you need an affordable instrument or need some maintenance on one, they do offer quality in both. My bass was set up perfectly & even though Im mad at em, I hope they continue to exist because I am a fan of small businesses even with grumpy owners.

When we got there we all got an overview of safety and rules, then were given some time to try out and get acclimated to the bows and arrows. They have a cute area with wood chips and a little river inside filled with 'stuffed' animals near and far, big and small. Afterward practicing we were split into teams and pitted against each other. Winners got fun little prizes from the shop. Once we were done shooting we paid $100 for an hour of private use of the lounge area and bar space. No hard liquor or wine, but they had beer and cider available. They had little things like jerky and crackers to munch on, but they do allow carry-in food items. We were a little peeved that the guys coming in for the league early just hung out in the lounge we'd paid for, but they didn't cause any trouble so we let it go.

Many well wishes in the future for Dan at ABZ. I had an excellent experience with him today, and…read moreI'll try to be as categorical as I can about this... Location: 5 out of 5 Yes, the workshop is actually in the burbs of Milwaukee, but he makes home visits, as well as school visits, and probably institution visits as well. Can't get any better than when someone who has a service or commodity or amenity makes a house call. Selection: 4 out of 5 (or 0 out of 5) Please read this careful. Dan ONLY works on cellos. And by works on, I mean that he hand crafts these bad boys, sets them up (quite drolly too with a caliper I might add), and includes a year of service with a purchase. Looking for a violin? No. Looking for a guitar? Move along. Looking for a viola? Again, no. Looking for a plastic recorder? I should punch you in the nuts. Dan builds, service, and works on one instrument only. The cello. The offerings that he has are the following: Fortissimo: This professional grade cello is made from select solid spruce and beautifully aged, flamed maple. The hand carved solid maple back on each of our 4/4 size models has its own unique flamed rich woodgrain finish, and the purfling is inlaid. The fingerboard and pegs are crafted from select quality rosewood. The sound is rich and very robust. Each one comes with quality soft bag and a high grade Brazilwood bow with mother of pearl inlays. The tailpiece is made from the highest grade ebony with a decorative mother of pearl eyelet. This model is a perfect blend of precision craftsmanship and wonderfully deep robust resonance. Vivace (the one I purchased): The spruce and maple on this cello is matured for 12 years before crafting. The fingerboard, pegs, and tail piece are all made from high grade ebony. It has a less glossy hand applied spirit finish. Crescendo: His top of the line 12 year cello. This amazing new age cello is made from select solid spruce and beautifully 12 year aged, flamed maple. The hand carved solid maple back on each of our 4/4 size models has its own unique flamed rich woodgrain finish, and the purfling is inlaid. The fingerboard and pegs, and tail piece are crafted from select high grade ebony. There may be one model in between these - please inquire with him as I am by no means an expert on any of his craft. Customer Service: 5 out of 5 Well, he agreed to come to the city during rush hour, and that by itself should count for a lot. Like I mentioned, there's a 1 year service period where he will work on your cello (for free, I think). Real stand up guy - brought his kid along (his inspiration for making the cellos in the first place). Does things by the book - even charging the correct amount of sales tax. Pricing: 4 out of 5. Are cellos cheap? No. Are hand crafted cellos cheap? No. Are hand crafted non laminate cellos cheap? No. But are his cellos cheaper than something I could purchase from a boutique store or even online? Yes. And they sound amazing. The entry level 6 year and the top of the line 12 year are very boisterous and voluminous, but the mellow 12 year cello (Vivace) has an excellent tone. If you want to purchase a cello for yourself, or a student, do hurry - I believe he'll be raising prices on his entry level cello come fall.

I have also purchased one other accordion, a Karpek made in Milwaukee 90 years ago, and played it for many years before selling it to a professional musician on the Las Vegas Strip. These accordions almost never go out of tune and if they do, they only need minor adjustments. I will purchase Baldoni accordions as long as they are in business, which I hope will be for many years yet. Carol Kugler, former Milwaukeean
