Sean Gotkin was very helpful, he told me they had an agreement with a local Luthier who could look at it and provide an estimate. The esitmate came back at $120 so I asked them to go ahead and do the work. It took a little longer to repair than they had committed to. When I went to pick it up, he charged me $100. That's what I call service! Why go to a franchise store when you have a local shop who does quality work with a local craftsman? Support your local business!

Being in the fairfax area I've frequented Guitar Center as my only known option for guitars and pedals and mics ect. I hate the way most big box music stores make you feel. Like your bothering them to get a guitar down for you or grab a pedal out of a case. Frequently at big box stores there are multiple employees around talking to each other about their weekend exploits instead of helping customers. Not the case here. I walked into Matt's Guitars on a whim since I spotted it on facebook. They not only have a great selection of amps, guitars, and pedals....but they are happy you came in and treat you with care and respect. The guys here were happy to and even encouraged me to plug in and try a couple guitars amps and pedals. So pleased I found this place, even though it's about a 25 min drive for me, I will be back...often. Their selection of Strats and PRS was very nice to see. Thanks!

I can't say enough how pleased and grateful we are to Joe for being such an amazing piano teacher…read moreto our son. My husband and I, being professional musicians as well, searched for a long time to find the perfect piano teacher. Our son had a prior piano teacher who, although kind, did not provide our son with the teaching he needed to help him advance, and that former teacher also wasn't invested in getting to know our child. Joe is the exact opposite of all this! Joe is a patient, intelligent teacher, who knows how to challenge his students while still having fun. He truly cares about our son, and indeed, cares for all of the students in his piano studio. I have been able to personally witness this not only during my son's lessons, but also in the group piano lessons and studio recitals that Joe hosts each season. Joe also has a wonderful way of integrating important life lessons while teaching piano, and takes the time to learn about each child so that he knows how best to relate to them and build their confidence. Joe's experience teaching leadership classes in the past to young leaders in training also shines through and enhances his teaching in every piano lesson. Additionally, Joe has a very high level of musical experience and expertise that allows him to teach all student levels, from the very beginner piano player to the advanced high school student or adult pianist. It's been an amazing three years of study with Joe so far, and our son looks forward to many more years of study to come. I highly recommend Manassas Joe's Piano!

Three of the musicians, Nancy, Arthur and Robert Swain are also members of the Lions Club, and freely give of their time and talent to help raise funds to help the needy in the local communities.
