Bill Waara has been fantastic to work with and I feel he and I have become friends over the years. I have changed out my power amp and pre-amp from the original components but still McIntosh and still very happy with everything.

Please, please do not take your vintage audio equipment here!! Before I really knew anything about…read morethe equipment I had, I took my Marantz 2330 to them for repair. Not only did they not fix anything, but they actually made my receiver worse by bypassing the protection circuit. I now have a frozen woofer on one of my formerly pristine AR 3a's. What a shame. They don't know what they are doing, don't stand behind their work, and are extremely expensive for the "work" they do. I have even heard of them redoing speakers and convincing people to trade out their original drivers for new ones. Not because it's in the best interest of the client, but because they want the original part to resell. They don't have the nickname "Audio Vultures" for nothing. Stay away!

The first time I visited the Brass Bell, I was shopping for something to maintain humidity in my…read moreukulele bag. I was really impressed with how much they have there for a little store. They have a huge ukulele selection. I had to hold back because I already have a big collection of instruments to my boyfriend's chagrin. More recently, I needed to get my ukulele repaired because the amp hookup wasn't working. The repair guy pointed out other things that I thought were normal that could be easily fixed. I love how thorough he was and the repair was inexpensive. Now that I'm getting back into playing and performing, I will definitely be visiting the Brass Bell more often!

I am seriously so grateful to have this studio in the city. It's affordable, it has a sweet sense of community, and it's so much fun. There is a parking lot which is major and it's kind of confusing because some of the parking is for the apartments connected but I've parked closest to the entrance of the studio and never had an issue. Definitely recommend.
