One of the many things I've been trying to do in terms of personal growth during this great…read morepandemic of 2020-2022 (and counting) is re-establish my relationship with performance music. To branch out and try to learn a few things with instruments that I have never played. One of those such instruments is the drums. And I am starting relatively from scratch, I've never played drums in my life. I already had found a vintage Ken 1602 wood/rubber practice drum pad that I remembered friends using in the past. It's great. Picked up some sticks online, but Columbus Precussion has a huge selection too if you need some. So, all I was looking for at this point was an instructional book to start me along the way of learning rudiments of rhythms, how to hold sticks properly, and some other basic skills. Things that I can work on on my own as a self-starter musician project. I found just what I needed and more at this great store. It is well-stocked with full drum kits, snares, and other specialty drums. They also have other handheld percussion instruments. Plenty of general drumming supplies, including the instructional books I needed. Once I told the friendly & knowledgeable staff what I was looking for, they were able to narrow down my choices to a couple that suited my needs. They specialize in drums and related supplies, appears to be staffed with actual drummer musicians, so they can really focus on just those needs. It was a great shopping experience.

Our house is full of music, they learn new pieces each week and work on recital pieces for months. The approach to learning at Musicologie is developmentally appropriate and very engaging. Lessons are half an hour each, which makes it affordable and easy to fit into busy schedules. We've met many of the other instructors at recital and free events (Guitar Happy Hour and various concerts), and they're all friendly, fun and knowledgable. The waiting room is comfortable, with a funky vibe, or you can stroll half a block to Grandview Avenue. We've referred friends here for voice, piano and other instruments, it's a great place! Their website is full of helpful information as well, especially about getting started in lessons.

The rental application was easily completed online in advance, and a prompt email was sent that confirmed both that it had been received and that we could come in any time during business hours in order to pick it up. The email also included a link to a video for the "Care and Feeding of" the instrument, which was a great preview and informative for beginners. The shop itself is located in a historic building. We found nearby street parking and walked up. Once inside, it was hopping, and they were using a number system to efficiently serve all customers. The employee who assisted us was very friendly and knew exactly what to run through. Our player was measured, all supplies and tools were reviewed with us, rental details were reviewed, and all questions answered. Very pleasant experience.

I am 72 and have collected quite a few guitars over the years, acoustic and electric. I do have…read moresome nice ones, but I wanted one more. I wanted it to be the Premier. I chose a Martin OM-42. It is one of Martin's finest guitars. I wanted to get a professional setup done on this beautiful guitar. I am new in Ohio, having moved here just a year and a half ago. I did not do my homework as I should have, and I brought it to a repairman who did a bad job on it. I could see that he had replaced the nut for some reason and now the strings weren't lining up properly. I thought about bringing it back but I was just sick over it and didn't want him to touch it again, so it just sat in the case for months. Finally I'd had enough. I wanted my guitar back. I did do some homework this time and came across JThomasDavisGuitarMaker. I was hesitant to ask him to even look at another man's bad work. I know Tom is semi-retired from doing any repair work at all. I almost begged him I said there would be no hurry at all. He said he would repair it. And he did. He installed the proper Martin nut. (He told me he had a lot of trouble getting the other one out. The man had used too much glue and made a mess of it.) Besides Tom's expert repair work, I received the guitar like new and setup beautifully. Tom, this is the Martin I dreamed of having as my ultimate guitar. I can't thank you enough and I only wish you happiness in your future work. I'm very appreciative that you chose my guitar as your repair business is slowing down. Good luck and God bless you. Bob Sullivan.

He talked me into a passive piezo pickup (uses crystals to convert vibration to electricity and no battery), which I haven't been that happy with because of the high impedance, low output signal it generates, but that is not his fault. I knew what i was getting into. What is worthy of remarking on is how pleasant Mr. Davis' demeanor was and the neatness and precision of the work he executed on my guitar. He is indeed a very skilled luthier who has built guitars for major performers like Leo Kottke. And the price of the work he did for me was reasonable considering the care he took. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford to contract with him to build me a guitar.
