I met a very patient and knowledgeable employee named Morgan. I was looking for a cleaner for a guitar that I purchased and after playing it, he recommended that I get it professionally set up... said he guaranteed that I'd be even happier with my guitar. He suggested that I come back (on a Sunday) to see JD for the work. After coming in early, he asked me a few questions about my playing, and went to work getting it dialed in. It is so much easier to play now, feels so much better and it stays in tunes up and down the fretboard. Wow! Thank you Morgan and JD for your expertise, patience and kindness... While waiting, I asked to play a couple of their more expensive acoustics and again... super patient.

My 5-year-old is enrolled in acting as well as a combined music and art class, and my 3-year-old also attends the combined music and art class. Both of my kids genuinely enjoy their lessons and have a lot of fun while learning. I've also appreciated all of the teachers we've worked with, they are fun, engaging, kind and patient! That said, I've found some of the office policies to be challenging. I've received differing information at times, and what I've been told verbally hasn't always aligned with what I signed regarding makeup classes, which has been confusing. Additionally, when the office is closed for holidays, the full monthly rate still applies even if a class is missed that month. There was also an instance when we arrived for class and no teacher was available. While an apology was offered, it was disappointing given the amount of coordination required for our family to attend, and a class credit would have been appreciated. On the other hand, when my children have been sick and unable to attend, makeup classes are not offered. I hope this is useful for others considering the program.

The place is very clean - from the private to group classrooms (even their restroom). There is a yearly registration fee along with a prepaid monthly fee. My child's tuition at the time was $160/month which equates to a once a week/30 minute guitar lesson. They do have a rescheduling policy if the student cannot make their scheduled lesson but chances are they might be assigned to another open instructor if their designated one is unavailable. Unfortunately, my child no longer attends (after 2 years) but only because she has the foundation to progress on her own. The staff here are friendly and I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to start learning an instrument.

I was looking for a shop to restore a "1948 OLDS Super" B flat Trumpet that I found at an estate…read moresale. To say the least, this horn needed some love after sitting in someone's garage for decades. As luck would have it, this horn was identical to my very first Trumpet that my Aunt in Chicago sent to me in 1964. With that horn, I played a solo at my High School Graduation. Eight years later, the horn was mysteriously stolen. I google searched for a musical instrument repair shop. The second call I made was to The Horn Shop in Fresno, CA. Harry Siverly, the man that answered the phone is also the owner. He shared his years in the business, both as a musician as well as his experience restoring (over hauling) basically all instruments. I had a good feeling about Harry and arranged an appointment. On meeting Harry, I shared how I met my high school Band Director Gene Sherry, who literally taught me how to hold the horn, and privately tutored me. It turns out that Harry knew Gene Sherry and his daughter Elaine, who was also in Band at the time. In that first interaction I told Harry how the estate sale horn was identical to my first trumpet. Harry did the research and authenticated 1948 as year of manufacture. Harry asked for my input, and regularly updated me on progress throughout the restoration. Harry's excellent understanding of the horn, great communication skills, focus and passion exceeded expectation. The pictures below speak volumes. If you are looking for an unprecedented expert in all aspects of your musical instrument whether you are looking for an instrument, service and maintenance, Harry and his team should be your first stop. Harry, like the great Tom Brady, is "the one to get it done". Choose Harry, and like me, you'll be glad you did. Barry Bagus
