purchased this SOMNATH tabla 2 &1/2 years ago. The head looked used but it still sounded good…read more I Just found the head cracked in the case and when straps were removed, I discovered a huge crack in the wood that I hadn't noticed because it was under a strap. It has always been well protected in a hard case and the crack may have happened from wood being wet when shipped from India. It is a nice drum but it needed an expensive repair that I did not expect so soon after purchase.

Very cute little music store in Berkeley. Looks like they have everything you could possibly need…read more My dad had dropped off a trumpet to get fixed awhile back but they weren't able to fix it so we came in to pick it up. The very nice manager gave us a recommendation of a guy in Albany who may be able to help. My dad just wants to donate it so it may not be worthy getting it fixed first, but we'll see. Anyway if you need reeds, strings, music stand - this looks like a great non-chain place to spend your money!

I felt like Lawrence took a personal interest in my amp project, a little 5 watt Supro from the…read moremid-1960s. I thought it was on its last legs, but Lawrence brought it back from the dead. More important, he did some sleuthing and found the parts that were "working" but causing the amp to under-perform. He replaced those and suggested some mods that turned the amp into an unbelievably powerful little grit machine. I'm really happy with the result.

I called Audivex because I thought my 50+ yo wooden, Pioneer speakers needed their cones replaced…read moreor repaired. After a very lengthy conversation about why there was a bit of a hum/buzz, I was told to check my wiring that that was not a symptom of a bad cone. It was such a generously gracious conversation that I really wanted to take my business to Audivex. As it turned out, the speaker was touching an item that was vibrating because of the thrumming base notes. Seems so obvious now, but with all the scenarios posed I was able to fix the problem. How many businesses would take that kind of time trying to convince me that the problem was not with my speakers? Like I wrote above, I wish I had a reason to hire Audivex. The best I can do is to convince you that this is an exceptional business.
