I took my Gibson Les Paul in for a new bone nut replacement. Messaged him the next day requesting…read moreto go with his suggestion of going with TUSQ XL. He said no problem and we agreed on it. Two weeks later when expected to picked up he says he doesnt have the nut and still needs to order it. Sure, I wait another week. Picked up my guitar to see very poor workmanship. The nut slot heights are not only not cut to my specifications that I requested. G string was cut too way too low compared to rest. But also the new nut has gaps all over the place and does not sit full bearing within the slot. It's a combination of maybe not cleaning out any existing glue or not filing the seat level. He said I was giving him anxiety by my expectations of good workmanship. In response I said im going to call this work order a loss, im swallowing the loss of ~$170 and i'll take my business elsewhere. It is not right if he is accepting this nut as the best he has to offer as workmanship and not fixing what is to be expected. Photos attached.

We were out shopping for an upright digital piano for my daughter as she had outgrown her keyboard…read more We went to Guitar Center in Roseville and had a decent experience. We got some help in narrowing down our options. But before making the purchase, we decided to book an appointment at the Music Exchange. We were met with Jeff and he was clearly very knowledgeable and educated us in the various options that were available and finally recommended one that fit our budget and hit all of our checkboxes. The entire interaction was very friendly and easy going without any pressure tactics to upsell anything. After the paperwork was all done, the delivery was set for a week later, and Chris called a day before the delivery, then showed up right on time on the day of the delivery. He assembled the piano carefully and took all the packaging materials with him. We were left with a beautiful sounding piano right where we wanted it. If you are looking to buy a piano, the Music Exchange is a 'must' stop.

From quick adjustments to complete mechanical restorations, I can get your horn to play like a dream for the best possible price. Saxophone overhauls are my main speciality, but I do equally fine work on flutes, clarinets, oboes, bassoons, trumpets, trombones and all the large brass wind instruments.

Never sent me an address of where to drop off the device. Completely ghosted me without any explanation or reason... very annoying. I understand that issues can come up, but I can see that he read my messages inquiring if he was still interested in doing my repair... but never replied. Very unprofessional. ‍ oh well. (I posted this review only after being ghosted. I would have been fine and wouldn't have reviewed if he simply let me know that he had changed his mind about doing the repair.)

My daughter is interested in singing and acting so we checked out Kim Cyrus with Sacramento…read morePerforming Arts on Tuesday. Kim's little homey cottage is located right next to the Sierra 2 Center in East Sacramento and there is street parking available. The class for my daughter's age group is on Tuesdays from 5-7pm with 1 hour being for singing/voice lessons and the other 1 hour being for dance lessons. There are 4 classes a month essentially for under $200. Kim was very professional and great with the kids! It was fun to see new and returning students in her class and to see who was comfortable and who was still coming out of their shell. My daughter had a great time at the trail class, but she currently does another activity on Tuesdays so the class for her age group isn't a good fit for us right now, but we hope to come back and join Kim's class in the future. Give them a call or visit if you or your kids are interested in Performing Arts - Kim has been around for 30+ years and you can tell how much she loves what she does!

He is able to adapt his teaching for many different types of singing styles and he is great with kids. I know because I've seen him work with children in a group singing class.

If performance is not your thing, the group lesson is entirely optional. If you sing badly, he can help you to sing better. If you sing well, he can help you improve even more.
