I called about other instruments to sell and I learned that I was calling the wrong but Mike gave…read moreme wonderful information on who best to and Mike really has an abundance of knowledge and is very personable. I believe that he is a great asset to the music community and this is just one phone call with him, but I truly feel I am reading correctly because I am quite a talker and kept him on the phone, asking many questions and he very politely and honestly answered everything and is extremely personable. If you have any business to do with him, you will be very happy with the work. He is and trusted, which is what led me to call him in the first place. I do not normally leave especially for that I did not have a full exchange with, but this exchange over the phone and the information about who can help me and how I was treated so warmly has moved me to type this. I hope nothing but the best for Mike's business and for him personally!

Took a chance and caught Charlie just as he was opening, explained the situation, but he was already fixing my flute by the time I finished my tale of woe.

Huge thanks and respect for the shop and Charlie, who also happens to be one of the hippest musicians I've chatted with in a long time. Highly recommended!

Just what I was looking for!…read more At the beginning of this year, I decided to try and (re)learn how to play my violin. I played for a few years in Elementary/Middle school, bought my first violin in my early 20s, then didn't touch it for another 15 years. The 'studios' in the name of this place is because each instructor self-employed, with their own 'studio' in one of the rooms of the converted house that houses this lovely place. I have little interest in the classical type of music I played when I was young, so I was quite pleased to find Seretta. Her interest & familiarity with so many different styles of violin/fiddle music was just what I wanted. As an adult student I appreciate her flexible and relaxed approach to teaching. From watching Seretta with her young students at a benefit/recital show, her supportive and encouraging teaching style showed in her interactions with even her youngest students. The rates are very reasonable, and Seretta's weekend availability made it easy for me to add violin lessons to my busy life.
