The space has a really comfortable, positive vibe and you can tell they truly care about what they do and the people they work with. Max is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and he explains things in a way that makes you feel comfortable no matter your experience level. Nothing felt intimidating or rushed, just supportive and encouraging the whole time. I really appreciated how genuine and down to earth everything felt. It's not just a music shop, it feels like a place that really supports creativity and community. Highly recommend if you're looking for lessons or anything music-related. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

Came here to buy a black folder for choral music after being referred by the Pasadena Conservatory…read more I called in advance to ask if they had any in stock and staff were prompt and professional in picking up to answer my request. Good variety of inventory from what I could see. Found out later my mom buys all her violin + piano sheet music here. It's tucked inside a strip mall off an out-of -the-way portion of Foothill. Would have loved to have seen this store in Old Town, but the current location is very convenient for quick in-and-out errands - and a short distance from the Conservatory. If I need to use something for music practice, I hate to buy online without knowing if it will work for me or not. Brick and mortar music stores like this are essential, and I'm glad Bertrands is so close by!

I've been going to Jerry's for years !…read more Great staff , very friendly and receptive , they take good care of you. He's upfront and listens to what you're wanting to do for your instrument . A true master of his craft. His venue is legit and welcoming, you enter into a ping pong arcade room with a nice sofa. I recently brought in a guitar of mine to get a vibrola installed on it along with some fret work and a new nut , I told him how I wanted it to play and he delivered big time . It stays in tune which is big if you know about lyre maestro vibrolas . I was charge a fair price for the amount of work that was done . I could go on , but from Jerry, his services have always outweighed his fees. You can check out pricing on website. All the guitar's he's worked on for me sound better once it leaves his shop . There's a reason why he has the reputation he does in the music industry

Excellent guitar setups and Jerry takes the time to find out what you want and playing style.read more

I've been looking for a place to get my fingerboard taped, and was so relieved when I called and they said that they could help me out! Not only did she help me with this, she also helped me tune my violin and, noticing the bridge was crooked, put it back in place. When I offered to pay, she said it was for free. I was really blown away by this, and insisted on at least buying something. I came home with a ready-to-play violin and a beautiful new rosin! Thank you, Forte Strings, for such a great experience. Really looking forward to my next visit!

Wow, I'm surprised to see AMAC is on here. With a review, no less!…read more The owner, Edmund Wu, is actually a personal friend of mine and, well, I helped him get an eBay retail business going back in the mid '90s (as well as sundry other violin-related ventures he had brewing in his mind at the time). In return, he arranged to have instruments built for me in China. While they *do* maintain a quasi-storefront, this is basically a violin academy that holds periodic recitals as well. They also do A LOT of wholesale-to-the-trade activity. You couldn't tell by looking at the place from the street, but the back half of the building is a warehouse! Since you're probably not a wholesaler, let me tell you a bit about their normal-people services. There's a small violin shop. You can buy recordings, accessories, sheet music, and any violin-family instrument in any size. There is also a limited selection of antique instruments. They also have some very high-grade Chinese violins that give some of the better old Italians a run for their money. They have cheap stuff too. The whole gamut, basically. Most repairs are sent out. I don't know what else to say. The teachers, of whom Edmund is one, are very qualified. Ask for Edmund, because he's the only one who speaks English well enough to carry out any meaningful business. They're closed on Mondays. They also have a small boutique shop in a reconverted bungalow down in Old Town Fullerton, on the west side of Harbor Blvd., north of Chapman.
