I've had an incredible experience at Musician's Playground since I started last February. What…read morereally made the difference for me were the instructors Miles, Rocco, and Thomas, who helped me build the confidence to play the guitar more freely and start improvising in ways I never could before. They don't just teach you what to play, but how to think about music: the theory I should know, how to actually practice effectively, and how to keep learning beyond the classroom. There's a real emphasis on listening, rhythm, and interacting with the people around you, which completely changes how you approach playing. For me, it's gone from "can I play over this song?" to "I have ideas about what I can improvise here," and musically, that's one of the most freeing shifts I've experienced in my life. Also big shout out to Dave and Brooke at the front. They are always there to welcome everyone in and make sure you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in, which really sets the tone for the whole place. The variety of classes and sessions they offer means there's always something new to explore, and the value of the group classes and membership is honestly unmatched. Completely worth it. Everything is accessible, the instructors are fantastic, and the environment is genuinely welcoming. It's been an immense creative escape, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to grow as a musician or just reconnect with music in a meaningful way. It's rare to find a place that makes you feel both challenged and completely at ease, but this is one of them. Boston, don't sleep on this hidden gem!

Joining Musicians Playground is the best decision I made in the whole year!…read more With almost zero musical experience in my previous life, I become so addicted to guitar play and sing, as well as learning all the music theories behind hit songs thanks to the 11 months I've spent in MP so far. The instructors here are all knowledgable and passionate on fostering you to be the musician you dreamed yourself to be. There're also group classes on vocal, guitar, and piano almost every day of the week, where you can meet new friends and practice trending songs that you'll enjoy. What's more, there's Happy Hour every 2 months, where you can find your talented classmates presenting all kinds of music in a party-like scenario which has so much fun! Being in MP has become my indispendable after-work and weekend routines. If you're also interested in starting or advancing your music journey, you will not regret checking this place out!

No one there seemed to remember my order. Ok no big deal, people make mistakes and this wasn't a big one. So I put my order IN AGAIN. Called back in two WEEKS and again no one had any clue about my order so I just hung up and went over to Walpole music down the street and they had my new pups in my guitar in one week and they sent it out to a tech. A few years later I was driving by again and decided to stop for some strings. I got three packs of strings at 6.99 each and somehow it came out to 26.00 dollars. I didn't do the math until I got home ( miles away not worth the drive back for a few dollars) and realized why I didn't get a receipt. Conclusion: if you're not dropping thousands of dollars there you're not a musician or customer in their eyes.

Ryan did a fantastic job repairing the bridge on my Martin DCXE. The instrument was fairly bowed…read morefrom humidity despite its composite body, and this had caused the bridge to come off. He needed to adjust the frame and researched what glue Martin uses on their composite material. His pricing was more than fair, the turn around time was less than 2 weeks, and he even restrung and ensured the overall structure of the instrument was in good shape. It sounded and played better than it had in years. He discussed the problem with the bridge with me at length, and stated that if the quote would be exceeded, he would call (the actual price fell well below the top quote value). I'm definitely bringing my guitars back to Equilibrium for all of my repair and check-up needs.

Most recently, he replaced a licensed Floyd Rose bridge on my Jackson DK2S with the real one. He also changed the bridge pick-up. Before, he also helped with a similar bridge replacement on my Japanese Jackson SL3 and replaced all pick-ups with a new set. The work he does is amazing. When I leave my guitar with him, I know I'm going to get great service. But what I most appreciate is the communication. He always contacts me to let me know what's happening and if he runs into an issue, he'll always come to you with alternatives so you can choose what you want to do. I'm a happy customer and I will definitely be back whenever my guitars need some professional attention.
