Bruce suggested that he could simply replace the "nut" which elevates the strings above the frets. Well, bingo he was right. Saved me some serious $.

Everyone I spoke to was really nice, and I was able to get my flute serviced quickly. The instrument repair person is there on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They did a pretty good job, but definitely didn't polish my flute, which I was kind of disappointed about, especially since I asked it to be thoroughly cleaned (this was also indicated on my service ticket they typed up). I was able to polish it myself after I got it back with a silver polishing cloth that I had to purchase. They have a huge variety of instruments, accessories, and books! It does seem to be more catered to guitars/percussion, but they still had a decent selection for woodwinds and brass. They also have tons of teachers that do private lessons. I will definitely be returning if I need anymore repairs done, as they did a nice job with those!

I do wish they had a wider range of acoustic guitars, but they do have some nice Fenders and Yamahas and don't mind if you sit and play them for as long as you want. Of course I took advantage of this, and then just couldn't help myself and had to buy one. The price on the Yamaha was right on the nose of where it should have been, and it was set up perfectly right out of the store.

But she had a concert coming up later in the week, so Mike was able to get it fixed in time for that. It became clear she needed a marching band flute. Mike suggested a used one at a great price. Turns out also the Gemeinhardt was being borrowed from her cousin. So I asked Mike for his recommendation for a concert flute. While my granddaughter is a freshman, she is lead flutist for the high school. Mike said he sold Di Zhao. We did a lot of comparison shopping and testing, but ultimately it was up to my granddaughter, as Mike said, because she knows what she likes in playing and the sound. Most schools recommend Yamaha. My granddaughter decided on the Di Zhao. She got an 801 BEF for a great price. Most importantly I could tell Mike liked musical kids! I watched him interact as they brought their instruments in for repair. I cannot thank him enough for the time, knowledge and courtesy in taking care of three problems for my granddaughter. Plus his pricing is unbelievably fair.

The E string snapped just from tuning it, using a tuner, so I didn't over wind it. The strings were just cooked from age. They restrung the E for me, but as much as I liked the guitar of course I count really get a decent feel for the tone or depth of sound with dead strings on it. They don't have a ton of guitars there, maybe ten acoustics or so, which is why I was mystified that they hadn't kept decent strings on them. If you can't take it for a spin you're not going to really consider buying it. It's like going to a car dealership and all the cars are pretty but sitting on flat tires.
