My 6th grade daughter graduated from 3/4 cello to full size, meaning it was time to return the…read morerental and purchase. We live in NJ and everything we found in our less than $1600 price range had an amber tone with high gloss finish; which she viewed as "cheap". They also looked like all of the other 12 cellos in her school orchestra. She wanted something fully carved, more "special" in appearance. We expanded our search to online, against her teacher's advice; and found an attractive dark tone, fully carved Romanian cello up in Boston, at Stoughton Music for $1300. The photo showed a deep grain with oil finish, all matte and no gloss. My daughter lit up when she saw the photo. I called and spoke to Keith to confirm that it was fully carved, and to confirm that the appearance was not a photographic fluke. Expressing interest he offered to have the owner of the store call with more info. True to Keith's word, owner Bob called the next day, to again confirm the appearance, and to say it played very well for a unit in this price range. He described the steps he goes thru to select stock for his store from his concert string supplier, and then to have them setup with upgraded strings and bridge by a luthier. There was no pressure, but he offered that when we were ready we could put down a deposit and he would hold it until we could arrange to come up and try it out. He said if my daughter didn't like the sound, he would refund our deposit in full and there would be no hard feelings. I told him we had one last NJ store to visit, which we did a week later. Then we called up Stoughton Music and spoke to John. I explained to John that we were ready to purchase, but couldn't get up to Boston to pick it up until the kids were out of school for the summer, a month away. John said no problem, he took a deposit by cc over the phone and said he would tag it as sold and secure it in the basement. He pulled the online ad while we were still on the phone, and reiterated what owner Bob had said, about the deposit being refundable if she played it and didn't like it. I thought that was pretty cool, that they would store it for a month, but then return the deposit based on the whims of a 12 year old girl. John said he was that confident she would love it after playing it. I dropped a couple of phone calls over the month once we had picked a travel date to reassure them we were still coming; then yesterday we drove up, met Bob, and picked up the cello. Before committing Bob insisted we find an empty room and left us alone to test drive the cello. My daughter really appreciated that he didn't stand in front of her while she was playing it to ask "do you like it"? He left us in private, which I thought was pretty classy. Immediately she lit up in a grin and after tuning and some scales and a tune or two she gave a thumbs up; so I went out and gave Bob her decision, and paid him the balance. What a nice group of guys that own and run Stoughton Music! All phone calls were low pressure, professional, informative. The inventory includes every manner of stringed instrument (even violas! - even mandarins!) were affordable and nice. Spoke with Bob some more about his own passions for music and his Berkelee School background. He gave me a tour of the music classrooms, and there were several music lessons going on while we were there. Stoughton Music is a nice stringed Music boutique, owned and run by musicians. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to buy an instrument with a string on it, from near or far. Or take lessons if they live in the area. They made the purchase of our daughter's first cello a wonderful experience!

Mark is extremely knowledgeable, and takes excellent care of his pianos. All the pianos in the showroom looked like new, perfectly rebuilt and reconditioned, played nicely and sounded amazing. Mark has always been patient with all my questions and he completely understands my needs. I never expected the process from start to end to be so smooth and easy. He and his family also handled the delivery super well, thanks to them I was able to play my piano before thanksgiving. I am very grateful and I don't know how to thank Mark enough for everything. If you are looking to find really good quality pianos or simply just in need for a piano technician, Mark is the person you can always trust. - a very happy customer :)

I'm glad I went here.... Mr. Gentile picked up the piano before I got to the place that was giving it away and was at my house before me, ready to get it delivered. In and out he was done in 15 minutes. A few days later he came in to tune it. He voiced some concerns about the model and the keys while educating us on how to take care of it (it was a free piano) and left us with it sounding great. A few month later we had to call him over again to tune it once again as the keys weren't playing properly. He came by and and spent time getting the piano right. This man contacted me soon after saying this piano had been keeping him up at night about it's performance AND that he had found us a replacement..... who does that? Mr. Gentile came by again with an already tuned piano and replaced our previous one... by HIMSELF! I don't know how old he is but this guy is unstoppable. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Gentile's underrated profession and his professionalism. If you need a piano mover or tuner, CALL HIM. The man knows what he is doing and is a charm to boot.

That's about all that they have is guitars. Sheet music for days and a few dated keyboards is what they have to offer. I checked their prices against Guitar Center and it's a lot more expensive! The music teachers are mediocre, nothing great. One complaint that I have is that the music teacher kept cancelling his appointments. At one appointment he didn't bother to even call and cancel. We showed up and they said he was on vacation! Really?! It seems as if this place is poorly managed and it's too bad. It has a nice look and feel, but don't be fooled. I'd rather travel to Braintree and try Guitar Center, or search for a private teacher.
