I have never been so compelled to write a good review as I am right now…read more I took my tenor and bari saxes into Holly's Music for some maintenance and gave Holly a list of issues that I knew needed to be addressed. Some notes were stuffy, some were more difficult to control at low volumes, and some played too sharp or flat. I knew some pads and corks needed replacing on both, as well as some adjustments to cups and keys to correct small leaks. She found additional larger issues I was unaware of, like a bent body on the bari, which she corrected. Since repads can be both pricey and labor-intensive, Holly only replaced the necessary ones on each horn, and adjusted/reseated others as needed. Both horns absolutely sang when I brought them home to play! Like your eyes that get gradually worse over time until you realize you may need a new prescription, the tone and playability of the tenor that hadn't been serviced in years slowly got away from me. The horn blows so freely now, and the key action feels great. All the mechanics are much quieter and smoother. I picked up the bari used a couple years ago, so I never had a benchmark on it. It had at least two previous owners and is not the prettiest thing to look at with an impact dent in the neck, but it fit my budget. I am completely amazed at the difference in both the tone and the playability of this horn now. A lot can be done by the player to adjust the intonation of each note, and I can't believe how much (and for how long) I've been compensating on both of these horns. Regardless of how they are playing, I will bring them in to Holly for routine maintenance at least every two years. Best of all, the price of this work was extremely reasonable, and she turned them both around in the timeline I requested. Holly's attention to detail and the precision of her work are top-notch! Treat yourself to a tune-up if it's been a little while since your instrument was last serviced!

My Situation: After a move, my Roland keyboard began having issues with the sound output being…read moremuffled and fuzzy. My Experience: I found DC&D through Roland's website as a certified repair shop, and I called them to see if I needed an appointment. The receptionist was very friendly and told me to bring in the keyboard whenever I was in the neighborhood. I dropped off the keyboard and described the problem to the receptionist, and she took down notes and told me she would call once the technician diagnosed the problem. Within a couple days, I received a phone call from her asking me to come in. When I returned to the store, the technician met with me and informed me of the embarrassing reason for the sound issues. Apparently through my move, the Roland power supply had been swapped with another power supply that uses the same plug but has a different voltage output. I was using the wrong power supply without my knowledge. He said that he checked things out and that no damage had been done to the circuit board. When I went to pay the receptionist, she and the technician refused my money. I explained that I felt responsible to pay them for their time diagnosing the issue, but they wouldn't accept my money. I left happy to know that honest merchants are still around, although I still wish they let me pay. Concluding Opinion: If you require the service of a piano shop, I highly recommend giving DC&D your business. We need businesses like this around, and if they were so generous and understanding with me, I can only imagine that they treat paying customers the same way. I only wish I knew more people with pianos so that I could personally help them get more business.

It has taken me much to long to get this review done! Had Carl come to look at a 1926 player piano…read morethat we inherited. Not good news! It was badly out of tune because of a major issue with the straps that control all the hammers for the 88 keys had rotted and fallen off! There was also a crack 8n 5he sound board. The major components of the player part were in really good condition. We decided that the piano held many cherished family memories and proceeded with the repairs. It took several long 8 hour sessions along with our assistance for the job to be completed. The entire piano was taken apart to access the hammers and sound board. We left plenty of time between sessions for us to refinish all the wood while it was apart. We could not be happier with the finished results! It sounds awesome thanks to Carl and looks good too after all our hard work refinishing along with tips from Carl. He has been back twice to tune and we will hav3 him back yearly to keep the piano in shape. I highly recommend Carl for tuning, repairs and he also gives music lessons. Not only does he provide awesome service but he is a very remarkable person!
