Call this wierd. However, no good deed goes unyelped in my book…read more I called APEX to ask about a certain piece of audio equipment: if they sold, what brands ect. Mainly, just to get some info before driving over, and double check the hours. 10 minutes before opening, on the phone, the dreaded answer "we don't carry those.". However, over the next 25 minutes, an explanation of who does, where they are, what to expect for the particular piece of equipment, things to consider, the insight of the employee. And, they do rent the equipment. With a fair warning, that they might sell the rental equipement, but since the particluar piece is industrial and well maintained, it'd probably go for MORE than normal places. And it'd be subject to the bosses approval. You have to wish more places would be open, honest, helpful and provide answers to the quality and extent that this place does. A stand up place to do buisness, if there ever was a definition of it. Clearly a tribute to it's many years of existance!

Every few months, something of mine breaks down. A guitar's…read morebuzzing for no reason, power supply on a P.A is shot. Or sometimes I just feel like getting a guitar set up after years of it sitting in the closet. I take my gear here every time. And without fail, they repair everything quickly, professionally and very reasonably priced. Accessories? They got 'em. Strings, picks, cables, pedals. You name it. I've met both owners, each with their own personalities, and I always found them to be professional. I wouldn't be returning often if they were anything less. Guitar Center isn't far, but these guys do such great work that I couldn't dare to go anywhere else.

If I could give 10 Stars for this review to Miss Alison, that still wouldn't be enough. I would…read morewant to go to 11! My son has been going to Miss Alison since he was about 7-years old, so the last 4 years. I have a really limited knowledge of playing music on an instrument, so I'm not going to get technical here however I will say I am constantly amazed at what my son has learned and knows about music because of Miss Alison. To have my son be able to read music, tune his ukulele, write and arrange original music and sing on key while playing -- this is awesome! Miss Alison's energy, experience and easy-going attitude is just so great to keep my son involved and interested. My son hears a song and then we're seeing if she has the sheet music to play it, and then he's playing it. From the Beattles to twenty-one pilots to Bob Marley to DEVO to Bobby McFerrin, my son is strumming and plucking along. Like I said, I want an 11!
