If you are a music teacher or a musician I have a cautionary tale for you. Over 3 months ago, I…read moremade arrangements with Gottschalks Music in Modesto to have an instrument rental night for my students where they would come to my school and my kids could get instruments from them. Even got a phone call last week confirming that they would see me on Monday (8/15). Well, today at 3:45pm I received a phone call from Gottschalks telling me that they had to cancel my instrument rental night. I was taken aback! All i could muster was a, "Why?!?!" And then I was told by the employee that "I was told they we're not doing that and we have to cancel". When I asked why they would do that, after we had this planned and confirmed months ago, he said, "I didn't get a good reason why"... I was so livid. All I got was a "Sorry..." I told them that they really screwed me over and that it's their loss... Then they had the audacity to say, "Well if you still want information about rentals, I can send that to you." I responded with, "If you think I'll EVER do business with you again after the stunt you just pulled, you just be out of your mind!" Then he said, "Sorry..." and I hung up the call. I have never dealt with such a level of unprofessional incompetence in my life! Luckily, this story has a happy ending, and my faith in humanity has been restored. I reached out to Ingram and Brauns Musik Shoppe and told them about my situation. Not only can they host a rental night for me but, I don't have to go through the pain of trying to reschedule the whole event because they can even come this Monday on my original date. So, moral of the story: STEER CLEAR OF GOTTSCHALKS MUSIC! The most undependable, and flaky of all business. Shower Ingram & Brauns with all your affection and business!

It took almost a month to get the saxophone back and when we did it was still having the same issues.I paid $228 for the service that was not done and when I called to get my money back the owner refused and said the only thing I can do is take it back and have them fix it again. When I refused that service because I don't trust them now, he refused to hear my concerns and got more and more upset until he hung up on me. When I called back and told him he hung up on me he said "yes I did and I can refuse service to anyone and I'll do it again." Please DO NOT use them for any kind of services, they'll take your money and not do the work you pay so much money for.

Making music at Shine On Studios in Oakland, CA is fun! Take it from someone who has worked with…read morethis guy for decades. This review has been a long time coming. No matter what I say, I cannot do Shine On Dave enough justice. I met Dave 20 years ago, I'm guessing it was a Craigslist ad. I was building a recording studio in my home and needed guidance. Dave became that beacon. Since then, I have visited Shine On working with various projects many times over the years. As someone who is a 30+ years experienced vocalist, I have watched Dave grow for decades. He is and has always been, as far as I could see, completely dedicated. Dave's passion of being a well earned award winning recording engineer and studio is why Shine On Studios was awarded as best recording studio after many years of growth. I have witnessed him building 1st hand and his success is from hard work, taking on any project he could get in the early days. He can now pick his jobs as he has paid his dues many times over. If Dave is recording you, you must have something real good. Dave has established an awesome pro studio in Oakland. The sounds he is getting are great. The amps, mixing board and most importantly, Dave's ear are all excellent. Dave's interest in offering a comfortable working environment is obvious. The couches, his attitude and studio sounds are 2nd to none. Thank you Dave and Stef! You make a great team...
