I recently purchased a Steinway grand piano from Vincetore's Hudson Valley piano store. They had a…read moregood selection of Yamaha digital pianos in the showroom, but I really wanted an acoustic piano. Very pleased with my purchase and the service. The piano was delivered on time, the movers were professional and very careful in handling the piano and setting it up. Shortly after that, Jon came to the house and gave the piano its (complementary) post-delivery tuning, which is routine. A small repair needed was taken care of by brother Michael Vincetore who came with his assistant and did the repair promptly. My questions were always answered, and all paperwork and documentation which I requested, was received without delay. I would do business with this family-owned business again. I give them five stars for their courtesy and professionalism.

My daughter plays violin. A lot. The people at Stamell are top-notch, super-helpful, and local…read more They patiently helped guide her when we were selecting her first "better" violin. Troy is an expert luthier, and his repair work (which we've unfortunately required...) is first rate. We are lucky to have Stamell around and supporting the Poughkeepsie area for strings. It's actually kinda remarkable that we have a string shop of this caliber in these parts! Now if we can just get a White Castle, a Trader Joe's and some kind of specialty running store. That would be sweet.

He answered all questions, let me "kick the tires" and noodle around with several guitars to my satisfaction, and was very easy to deal with. I did buy an excellent Dean exotica acoustic electric & amp. Cannot sat enough good things about this awesome guitar. My thanks to Dennis. Also decided to take lessons from him. He is a guitarist in his own right and is patient. (As a retired teacher and administrator I do know that patience is a virtue.) His assistant, Louis, is a dynamite guy - also a very talented musician. If you are looking for an honest guy who knows his stuff, then Dennis is the man for you and his shop is the place to go. Shop Local!

I feel ripped off. I do not recommend…read more I was told the incorrect billing information despite two phone calls to inquire on this before registering. Once I signed up, the invoices began to come much in more expensive than had been shared. The masking policy was misrepresented as well. I was told one thing on the phone before registration and fund another thing upon our arrival to the first class. This was important to my decision to register. I was told that make up sessions would be applied to the account for any missed classes and that those would never expire. I was also told that adjusting regular sessions to other days in the week was allowable with notice if needed without penalty. However, when I did this last month for November, they marked it as use of make up sessions and will not adjust. So they are stealing from me as I paid for those sessions but will not allow me to use them as indicated. I paid for December sessions and planned to use make ups for others. I have now been told I should take my kids someplace else. I have not been refunded my December payment and my kids will have had no lessons. I was not allowed to watch the services being provided to my children and have no idea what they have learned. I had to wait in the car. When I asked, I was given a hand written, undated, unsigned page with some note about what the kids were to have learned. In two months, my oldest does not even know a scale on the piano. I don't know that my kids received any music lesson services. This company uses unclear and poor communication, does not honor its word and seems to want to take payments but not provide the services.

Throughout EVERY location of Peekamoose Custom Guitars and Repairs, owner-artisan-luthier Paul…read moreSchwartz has ameliorated all my guitars, acoustic and electric! Most recently, up in halcyon Rhinebeck County he worked once again on the first guitar I ever brought him in about '84, my Guild F-20 NT; adding a Piezo Pickup, Gold Locking Sperzels and new frets via the killer Plek Machine. Decades of experience and state of the art equipment in the hands of a master put this old guitar in terrific intonation over the whole fretboard and bring out its inner crackle. The little extra one pays is commensurate to the outcome. Without a doubt, the latest work makes my Guild acoustic more viable and play better than ever! The test of quality for me is that I can't stop playing it, and its treatment makes challenging playing inviting. If you want your instrument at its best, Peekamoose is where it's at.
