I have very mixed feelings about this place. First paragraph is about their inventory and prices,…read moresecond is about selling stuff to them, and third the repair department. They have an incredible inventory of used and vintage gear. A lot of it is fair prices for rare and vintage gear. Frequently they get something modern and mid-range in stock, and they really overprice it. Perhaps you can haggle with them? I'm not sure because I'm not comfortable going in and demanding a certain price. As for selling them your stuff. I've tried a couple of times, but they wouldn't make an offer. They just kept asking what I wanted to get for it and then would say, "no, thanks." There was no indication of whether we were $50 away from agreeing on a price or $500. As for the repair technician side of the business... A few weeks ago I took two amp heads in for repair. One needed new power tubes and biasing which they did in a couple of weeks for a reasonable price. The other had a loud humming issue that needed diagnosis and then repair. In my many phone calls back and forth they could never give me an estimate on the work, the person calling wasn't familiar with the situation, and eventually they gave me both amps back and the second one had nothing done to it and was experiencing the same issue. Their bench fee is reasonable, and they can do simple work (replacing tubes, biasing amps, etc.), but I'm not sure that their technician is up to comprehensive diagnostic work.

It's a great place if you want to be condescended to…read more We were looking for a 3/4 upright bass bridge. We asked the dude about it, and his response was 'for what?' Ummm.... To hold the strings in place? Then he told us 'You know you have to cut that down, right?(what a douche bag)' We told him that we have a luthier that will cut it for us. Apparently, that just offended his soul. He points to a frame on the wall and said, 'You see that? That says I know more than anyone else in the city!' It was an Associate's degree from the University of Indiana (Juilliard for meth addicts). The rest of the experience was basically him telling us how he doubts our project is professional (although we make more money than probably 70% of musicians-- not to be arrogant, I just know how this business is), how all the great symphonies come to him, and all the local schools bands. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure this guy absolutely knows what he's talking about. However, if you play anything other than stuffy classical music-- find it somewhere else or online. There are PLENTY of places that'll cut a bridge for you. I guess he's just opposed to new customers.

The staff there was amazing, considerate and patient. We ended up with an extremely nice viola for less than what I had initially figured.

The instructor I had brought with me was very impressed and said afterwards to me she had never been treated so well nor was a potential customer treated so well in all of her years teaching. Yes it was a 100 mile one trip for us from Columbus one way but worth it. Will be back again to buy a viola for myself soon.

I would like to share my experience with Frank and Seta Music over the last decade…read more When I was back in college, I made my first purchase from Frank - a relatively inexpensive digital piano. Frank made the experience easy and seamless, giving me a fair price and excellent service even though I didn't have a huge budget and probably didn't look the part of a serious piano buyer. I will always appreciate that he took me seriously and treated me well even though I was a kid. That instrument served me well for many years, but as an adult years later I became interested in the amateur piano classical competition circuit. I knew I would need a higher quality piano that could handle several hours of practice a day, so I purchased another much more expensive instrument from Seta Music. Just like the first time, Frank made the experience easy as could be. He let me demo the instrument multiple times in his showroom and left me alone for several hours in private to enjoy the piano. Delivery was prompt, he was helpful to arrange financing, and everything went as well as it possibly could have with my purchase and delivery experience. During the many years I have been a Seta Music customer, I have encountered a couple of issues with my instruments that required service from the manufacturer. Frank and Seta Music stepped up each and every time, always making sure I was taken care of. I can honestly say that I feel Frank has his customer's backs, and that makes me happy to be a repeat customer. As a repeat customer of Seta Music who has also experienced the high quality of after-sales support that they give (even several years later), I can whole-heartedly recommend Frank to any serious pianist. He provides good products, good service, and ultimately will take care of his customers. That is exactly the type of business I want to support.
