It has the most accurate bounce/feel, and its tone changes when you play on different areas and/or play at different volumes, just as a real drum would. It fits onto a cymbal stand, and is virtually unbreakable. I have not been to this store I feel the need to express that this product is absolutely exceptional because these folks make it.

They definitely had what I needed in a pinch. The service here was also exceptional. The workers guided me to where I could find the instruments as well as answered questions throughout my selection process. If I need to make another purchase that is music related in the near future, I will certainly go here.

The repair would have costed me more than the guitar was worth, and instead of taking the opportunity to make money, they suggested I repair it myself.

They're very honest people, and we had a lovely conversation about guitars. I'm looking forward to going back there!

Somehow in a store a fraction the size of a Guitar Center they have a better selection of mid to higher end stuff! Really impressive. The staff graciously let me try out a dozen effects pedals.

I bet they have lots of return customers. They have a real guitar luthier so this place really has everything a guitar player would want. Although I don't live in the area I will be back in the future next year when I'm passing through. This is a special place.

He informed me that this isn't a clothing store as I looked through the small selection of t-shirts. Wow I had no idea lol. i will never step foot in such a rude establishment and I'd like to point out that my boyfriend is an avid musician and has been most of his life. He has a tremendous collection of guitars, amps, pedals, etc etc. He is also in a Pittsburgh band and knows a lot of fellow musicians. He alone has spent thousands in Micarellis ove the past few years. You have lost his business also. I hope the rude treatment to customers is worth it and I'm sure your bottom line is doing great. don't waste your time going here there are plenty of other small businesses that will appreciate you.
