I came here looking for a new cello end-pin thinking it would solve my issues with my hand cramping…read moreand spoke with Paul and he told me that there are much better/cheaper solutions and was more concerned with figuring out why my hand was cramping instead of trying to get a quick buck out of me by just agreeing to switch out the end pin. I have a bent end-pin with a strange extension mechanism that I assumed was a broken mechanism because I could never get it to lock in it's extended form. Paul took a look and figured out how to make the mechanism work and told me a new end-pin wouldn't be necessary. I asked him to look at my bow and see if there could be a cause for concern there and he educated me briefly about the importance of a bow's balance and how if the bow's hair were not properly maintained, it could ruin the feel of an expensive bow/any bow, really. I got to compare my bow's current feel against a cheaper bow that was properly balanced and instantly felt the difference (took the bow home to test, and of course the hand cramps seemed to go away with a properly balanced bow). He broke down the costs of what could be fixed and was not pushy to sell anything to me which I greatly appreciated. Looking forward to coming here next time any issue/concern with my instrument arises. The only "issue" I had is that I did not call before my first visit, so I came to a locked door. Paul isn't always in this location so please make an appointment to save yourself the same confusion I faced.

I have been a student in the adult band program for a little over a year learning guitar. The…read moreprogram they use to teach and the teachers are excellent! The adult band rehearsals are a stupid amount of fun! I started out as a guy who wanted to be a "rhythm guitar" player who just wanted to play power chords and not practice scales and now I'm enthusiastic about practicing scales so I can improve my soloing. All of the teachers are very supportive (even with my terrible singing). Even 15 months later, I look forward to guitar lessons. The school has great social distancing and other practices in place to keep everyone safe during these crazy times.

I hate to be "that guy" that complains endlessly about the state of the economy and always longs…read morefor the way things used to be, back when every business was privately owned and the proprietor treated you with the respect you deserved. It makes no sense for me to be that guy, because I was born in '83---I never knew such a world. And, yet, House of Guitar is the business "those guys" are always longing for. In a world filled with guitar super centers, The House of Guitar keeps things simple. The business? A small shop built into the back of owner Dick Serota's Feasterville home. He carries about twenty guitars at a time, and he probably sells four or five a month. But the bulk of his income comes from guitar lessons, which he offers in the shop for the most reasonable price in town. (Last time I was there it was $15/half hour. That may have changed.) And Dick and the two other teachers that work there are great. For those prices, you would expect some college kid who can teach you to play "Stairway to Heaven," not much else---but these guys are real working professionals.

Practically every Black Friday my daughter and I end up at Anthropologie, with my husband waiting…read morepatiently on a bench in the mall, holding our jackets. This Thanksgiving my daughter (who seemingly had norovirus) stayed in NYC while I was in Philadelphia. Despite ridiculous crowds T and I went anyway. Anthropologie, in my estimation, is notoriously over-priced, but post-Thanksgiving one can find a "deal." Everything in the store is 30% off. But the piece de resistance -- my reason for going -- is the sales room. 50% off already reduced prices. Yesterday I snagged a butter-soft leather dress originally priced at $328, for $89! If you go this time of year, know: ** The check-out line in Anthropologie is insane. I was there so long, I lost track of the time. ** Guard against pick-pockets and watch your purse. A woman ahead of me ran out, realizing her wallet was gone. ** Parking is crazy. The mall is huge with spaces hard to find. (After going into the Container Store which abuts the mall we walked over, never moving the car.) I like this particular branch of Anthropologie. Probably because S and I are generally successful, my daughter more so than me. (I've clearly aged out of their target market.) Anthropologie's location in King of Prussia mall is good, with Free People next door and Urban Outfitters across the way. Plus there's a big bench steps away for people like T who are left holding their shopper's coats and parcels.

The great WONDER sign, all the fuzzy pom poms in the entryway and then the smell. So inviting, so good! The variety of merchandise and the way it's displayed is so well done.

Anything you pick will be well received, trust me.
