The Luithier took the time to set up the guitar. Re-adjusting the truss, reset the trem aand put on the gauge strings I used On it. They even have a "points system" that my next purchase I will have a credit to use! Can't say nothing but great things about this place!

Both my daughter and my son take lessons here. The owner, Danny White, is an accomplished musician…read moreand has played with everyone you have heard of. He is always around and gives lessons himself. Greats you everytime you come in and can talk music, baseball, Star Wars or whatever movie they have on. My daughter is working with Drew on the piano. He has been very patient and she gets something out of every lesson. Her first recital was at the world famous Stone Pony. How many 6 year olds can say they played the Stone Pony. My son started with Drew and now works with Matt. Both were just awesome starting with basics and now moving him in to more complex beats and songs. My son plays in the Beach Music Rock Band now. He plays between 5 and 8 shows a year, usually 2 to 3 songs per show. The confidence and stage presence he has gained far outweigh the skills he has learned on the drums. However, he is still the best 10 year old drummer I have ever seen. He has played the NJ Boardwalk, BlueClaws games, the Stone Pony, iPlay America and few other places. His experiences with the band, Drew, Matt and Danny have made his childhood so much better.

When I called to let them know that we would be bringing the piano that weekend the owner was very rude and told me they would not take the piano unless we used their movers and charge me $375! I told him i was quoted $150 twice, as a fee to take the piano and use for parts. He hemmed and hawed about liability, told me he was no longer interested in our piano and HUNG UP ON ME!!! What an asshole!!! Now I am scrambling to try to find somewhere to take this piano as it has to be out of the house by this weekend. NEVER NEVER believe this company!!
