They have rental for violin, viola, or cello. Also repairs. Since this is a family owned store, I believe it was the owner that helped my son with his violin.

Great selection and service!…read more Being musician isn't always good times. Sometimes I need to make decisions on gear, and certain places are more helpful than others. If someone is short or unhelpful, odds are I will take my business elsewhere. Fazio's Frets and Friends knows how to help someone with tough decisions. I'm always looking for the next sound or addition to my collection, and Fazio's carries a pretty nice array of guitars and accessories. As far as local and independent, they might have the best selection of guitar pedals. I could plug in and goof around for hours! Recently, I purchase an overdrive pedal from them, and the associate was patient and helpful during my two visits. Yes, it took me TWO visits to decide. If you're looking for electrics or acoustics, they have plenty to choose from, whether you have the spread to purchase American standards or cheaper Mexican models. Sometimes they get in cool and unique pieces that Guitar Center isn't likely to carry. If you want to avoid the corporate instrument stores and shop local, Fazio's is a great alternative to your neighborhood Guitar Center.

They were very generous with their time and energy helping me research the best method of repair for a lesser known instrument. The staff had a nice rapport with one another and seemed glad to be there - less and less common these days. In the background I noticed during my visit that several lessons were going on with students who seemed content (and parents as well). It was a pleasure doing business there, and I will return.

Ray was fantastic.

I was thinking about selling my old upright piano, but didn't know what to really expect, and so I called Ray at the Piano Factory. At the time I called him, I could hear that he was under the weather by his voice, but he nevertheless spent a lot of time answering my questions. He was very patient, kind, responsive, and most importantly, honest. Even though he could have bought my piano and re-sold it for higher, he honestly told me that if it were him in my shoes, knowing my decision-making considerations, he would just keep the piano in family. It is so refreshing to know in this day and age especially that solid people like Ray are around! Thank you Ray for your time, advice, and honesty!

I took piano lessons with Tim Townsend from ages 8-12. As I've grown older, I have realized how…read moreinappropriate he was as a teacher. He would constantly push his extremely conservative ideologies on me (yes, even as a 10 year old!). At the time I didn't realize what was happening, but sometimes 10 minutes of our 30 minute lessons would consist of him trash-talking the democratic president, and telling me my parent's opinions were incorrect (who are both rather liberal). I don't care what others' political beliefs are, but I cannot believe he was pushing his political agenda on me as a submissive and quiet child. It disgusts me to think now that my parents paid for those lessons for years. Not to mention he did not put any effort into improving my piano skills the last 2+ years of my lessons. By age 10 I was over the piano and had checked out, and he made no effort to inspire me to improve, it seemed he was just comfortable taking my parents' money for a few more years until I finally quit. He took that time as an opportunity to spew his far-right beliefs into my ears. Not to mention he is literally a climate change denier and hardcore Trump supporter, but that is beside the point. It is extremely inappropriate to push those beliefs on a child. I would highly recommend NO ONE sends their child to learn from him. Maybe his other teachers are alright, but I would never support his business.
