Bought a crybaby mini pedal and used it maybe 7 times over about 11 months at home, never at a gig…read more Even with hardly any use the pedal stopped working. I did some Google searching on my Dunlop cry baby mini pedal and found tons of evidence that they have lots of reliability problems. I was comforted that it was still under the 1 year warranty period and asked my wife if she could handle the administrative side of making the warranty claim. But this is where the disappointment started. She has been dialoging with them on email for 3 weeks. She now,is claiming they want us to answer several questions about the "alleged" defective pedal including sending them a video of it in operation! Total waste of time for a cheap, poorly made $100 pedal! I'm so surprised that Dunlop's customer support is so slow and ineffective in making good business decisions. I was hunting down a MXR EVH Flanger pedal over the last week and was also interested in their MXR EVH Chorus pedal after seeing a YouTube video, but the poor workmanship and poor customer support culture of this company has me steering away from any Dunlop or MXR pedal. Very disappointing and surprising for a company that has been around a long time. I guess they don't make them like they used to! In contrast, Strymon quality snd customer support has been amazing. Also I've never had a Boss pedal wear out... they are like tanks.

I had a garage full of saxophones and other instruments I needed to sell. With the help of a…read morefriend, we sold several guitars, the saxes were more of a problem, they were high-ticket items that we felt uncomfortable selling ourselves. I turned to Steve to help to sell them on consignment. He purchased one from me for his private collection. I put another one on consignment. I paid to have this one repaired. He doesn't sell shoddy instruments. The person who purchased this one has a great instrument. He has a small shop and could not take the large baritone or numerous cases I had. In addition to being a master at repairing and refurbishing instruments, Steve is a talented musician and artist. If you are in the market to buy or sell a woodwind instrument this is the place to go.

Disclaimer: this pertains to work done a year ago, but I haven't gotten around to writing about my…read moreexperience until now. As a professional saxophonist relying heavily on my Selmer Mark VI alto saxophone for regular performances, I sought out Steve Deutsch for a major overhaul, not merely in hopes of enhancing playability, but as essential maintenance for my instrument. Unfortunately, my experience with him proved to be deeply unsatisfactory, prompting me to share my ordeal. Despite investing $1500 into the overhaul (which is certainly not on the cheap end of the spectrum for this kind of work), the quality of Steve's workmanship left much to be desired. Following the service, my Selmer Mark VI exhibited numerous issues, including improperly seated keys, carelessly aligned pads, and immediate leaks. Particularly distressing was the shockingly poor quality of the supposedly new pads, which bore an uncanny resemblance to those over a decade old on my tenor saxophone. Compounding my disappointment was Steve's lack of professionalism. Despite assuring me of a four-week turnaround time, which is far more than most repair people ever take to do an overhaul (I explained that I would be out of the country but had a recording session two days after my return), he nearly failed to meet this deadline, texting me that it wouldn't be finished when promised while I was in Singapore only a few days before I was schedule to pick it up, citing personal issues. While I empathize with his circumstances, the subsequent lack of communication and rushed completion of the job were deeply disheartening, and I insisted it needed to be done or I would pay him for his incomplete work and take it elsewhere to finish it. Additionally, his admonishment and downright scolding of me, as if I were a child, about the condition of my instrument was extremely off-putting. Unlike most repair people with whom I've worked in the Bay Area, NYC, and across the country, Steve doesn't offer any warranty or guarantee on his work. Typically, after an overhaul, a repair person will encourage their customer to come back for some adjustments if need, and in an industry where reputable repair persons typically stand behind their craftsmanship, Steve's failure to provide such assurances was glaring. It's a moot point, anyway, because I would never let him touch my instrument again. In conclusion, my experience with Steve Deutsch left me with a compromised instrument and a profound sense of dissatisfaction. Given the crucial nature of regular maintenance for professional musicians, I caution my fellow performers against entrusting their instruments to Steve's care.
