I recently lucked out on snagged an OG Ibanez AFR-105 (IYKYK). Took it in to Jeff for a once over, a stacked knob issue, and a pro set up and it came back looking and sounding amazing! Plus I got the added peace of mind knowing my vintage bass was in proper working order. Most recently I took him a non-multiscale bass for a set up in drop F#. Granted, it was a very well built bass and the neck was capable, but he took to the challenge like an eager kid and knocked it out of the park! Not only that but he kept in constant contact with me throughout the process (it took longer than expected due to the difficulty of the request). Their prices for work are on par with most shops out there, so you're not even paying extra for the quality you get here. If Jeff ever leaves I'll follow him to his next place. Great store, great vibe, great gear, and amazing people.

Stephanie has taught our daughter for the past 5 years and our son for the past 3 and we are so…read moreglad that we found her. She is incredibly patient, warm and encouraging - both kids have responded well and thrived on her style of teaching. She focuses not just on the technical aspects of playing but also on the artistry of the pieces. We are amazed at how both our kids have developed a love for playing over the last few years. She clearly loves what she does and is able to transfer that love of music onto her students. We whole-heartedly recommend her as a one of a kind piano instructor!

She helped him discover a genuine love for music, for the piano, and confidence in himself and his abilities. She has a remarkable balance of patience, enthusiasm, encouragement, and discipline that was just perfect for him. He loves piano, and practices for the sheer joy of it, but he also practices because he wants to earn her praise. Her twice-yearly recitals have been absolutely formative for him, helping him gain self-confidence, pride, and an ease with performing in front of others. He started with her when he was in kindergarten, and it has been a joy to watch him grow with her over the years. Can't recommend her highly enough. We love Stephanie!

Aaron has been working on my guitars for a year and a half!…read more From the first time we met, he was warm, professional and knowledgeable, I am a Professional Performing Musician. I used to have my work done at Mike Lulls Guitar Works. When Mike passed, I was desperately looking for a Luthier. When Aaron told me that apprenticed under Mike, I was overjoyed!!! When I initially took my first guitars to Aaron, it was to do some minor "Tweaks". After seeing AND feeling the quality of his work, I ended up taking all of my "Immediate Rotation" of guitars for him to work on!! In closing, Aaron was ALWAYS fair and accommodating. I am still taking my instruments to him! Simply put..... A GREAT LUTHIER!!! Thanks Aaron all of your hard work!!! Craig Coleman

Sweet Little Sounds is amazing! Katie teaches music literacy in a way that makes my kid excited…read moreabout learning and going to group lessons every week. Other reviewers wrote all the praise that I came here to write, so I'll just add this for any parents whose kids might be struggling with piano lessons elsewhere: My kid had a year of solo lessons with another teacher and it just wasn't a good fit. We all felt a little discouraged that our music loving kiddo wasn't feeling the music. But switching to Sweet Little Sounds flipped the script. She's learning to read music, and she talks about writing her own music on the staff so that she can share it and play with others. It's wonderful to see the glimmer of possibility on her face when she thinks about the music she will make. This is the direct result of the joy and encouragement she experiences in Katie's classroom each week, and I'm so grateful we found Sweet Little Sounds!

I asked my daughter what I should put in a review for Sweet Little Sounds and she said, "Teacher…read moreKatie taught my kids for many years and was a great and loving teacher, she is the best teacher of all time." It is hard to craft a better endorsement than that, but I will add the parent point of view. Katie is magic. My kids could not be more different and she nurtured each of their love of music, celebrated their differences, and helped them through the challenges of learning a new instrument. She taught them piano in such a joyful and empowering way. With Katie, students learn piano, music theory, musicality, rhythm, and to trust themselves during the learning process. She is fun, organized, and keeps the classes moving so that students don't get bored or discouraged. As the business owner of Sweet Little Sounds, Katie Keefe is an excellent communicator, reliable, and thoughtful about her schedules. She keeps parents informed about student progress and celebrates successes. The value of what Sweet Little Sounds offers is unmatched in our area. Bottom line, your child will be in excellent hands with Katie.

I've had my flute for over 15 years, but I never got it professionally cleaned or maintained it properly... I found out about Mr. Eppler online and contacted him about getting my flute repaired. He got back to me immediately, and instead of shaming me for not taking care of my flute properly, he congratulated me on picking up playing the flute again. He and his assistant, James, who are both really friendly, worked on my flute over the weekend and fixed it up within a couple of days. I was amazed by how quickly they were able to turn it around, and how great my flute sounds now. Originally, it had so many problems including 6 big leaks and 5 bent keys, but It now plays better than when I first bought the flute. We are really lucky to have a professional like Mr. Eppler in the Seattle area! I would recommend him to anyone. I am SO excited to start playing the flute again!
