We bring instrument lessons and band programs to home-schools, youth service programs, community centers and anywhere else where we can provide this wonderful opportunity to explore and discover all that playing music can bring. In these days of isolation and restrictions everywhere, people need an outlet to enjoy something that is theirs. Playing music is a perfect way to do just that. Learn how to play the guitar or piano. If you already play then take a rock band workshop and share the excitement of making music with others. We are here to help bring music into people's lives, especially the younger generation.

I have always been a music lover. So, I decided to finally get piano lessons…read more The owner, Tom, is so patient considering I have no musical background. I feel that I am learning a lot but I'm not overwhelmed. Tom has a wealth of knowledge but has a fun personality so I don't feel like I'm flailing. I can fit it into my budget as the cost is very reasonable. I look forward to seeing where this skill leads! I feel very comfortable having my lessons there. Although, if I couldn't make it in person I love the setup for virtual lessons. Great teacher, Great place!

I've gone to them for numerous guitar fix ups, and, although I've never bought one of their instruments, they have an amazing selection of guitars in various price ranges. The staff is very eager to talk and help out with any questions you may have. The people here are nice and really go the extra mile to create a professional yet intimate atmosphere. 5/5

He always stands behind his products and everyone of the instruments I purchased from him was wonderful I even brought back instruments from him and purchase new ones, there was never a question just a smile and a call me if you have any problems. I would give them six stars if it was possible. Bruce Delaney

My daughter plays violin. A lot. The people at Stamell are top-notch, super-helpful, and local…read more They patiently helped guide her when we were selecting her first "better" violin. Troy is an expert luthier, and his repair work (which we've unfortunately required...) is first rate. We are lucky to have Stamell around and supporting the Poughkeepsie area for strings. It's actually kinda remarkable that we have a string shop of this caliber in these parts! Now if we can just get a White Castle, a Trader Joe's and some kind of specialty running store. That would be sweet.

Not cheap but worth it. They're experts who know what they're doing. They have a whole team and…read morethey're in and out in no time

I recently purchased a Steinway grand piano from Vincetore's Hudson Valley piano store. They had a…read moregood selection of Yamaha digital pianos in the showroom, but I really wanted an acoustic piano. Very pleased with my purchase and the service. The piano was delivered on time, the movers were professional and very careful in handling the piano and setting it up. Shortly after that, Jon came to the house and gave the piano its (complementary) post-delivery tuning, which is routine. A small repair needed was taken care of by brother Michael Vincetore who came with his assistant and did the repair promptly. My questions were always answered, and all paperwork and documentation which I requested, was received without delay. I would do business with this family-owned business again. I give them five stars for their courtesy and professionalism.

Throughout EVERY location of Peekamoose Custom Guitars and Repairs, owner-artisan-luthier Paul…read moreSchwartz has ameliorated all my guitars, acoustic and electric! Most recently, up in halcyon Rhinebeck County he worked once again on the first guitar I ever brought him in about '84, my Guild F-20 NT; adding a Piezo Pickup, Gold Locking Sperzels and new frets via the killer Plek Machine. Decades of experience and state of the art equipment in the hands of a master put this old guitar in terrific intonation over the whole fretboard and bring out its inner crackle. The little extra one pays is commensurate to the outcome. Without a doubt, the latest work makes my Guild acoustic more viable and play better than ever! The test of quality for me is that I can't stop playing it, and its treatment makes challenging playing inviting. If you want your instrument at its best, Peekamoose is where it's at.
