I was told to pick it up Thursday afternoon, because they were sooooo busy and the clerk behind the desk didn't know how to tie off strings. I live in Decatur, which is 40 minutes away. I left my guitar and I called Thursday and was told they were so busy my guitar had not been done yet. I am 74 years old and I was sooo disappointed to be treated this way. When I returned Friday to just get my guitar back, there were 3 or 4 men behind the counter socializing and playing guitar. I asked for my guitar and the same clerk who took it Wednesday opened the case and said, " hmmmm he didn't fix your guitar last night....pause....

I had another local repair company quote the repair and they said the guitar was beyond repair and would never be playable. I wanted a second opinion and was able to find Mike locally. I reached out and sent pictures. He agreed to meet and we discussed what could be done for the budget available. He clearly articulated what he could do, and the exact cost for each line item of the repair. He had the guitar for 7 months and delivered for what we agreed on. I made a couple of change orders along the way and each time Mike clearly let me know verbally and then in writing what the cost would be. The finished product is unbelievable!! Not only is the guitar structurally sound and playable, but sounds amazing! Mike was a pleasure to deal with the entire process. I can't recommend him enough.

Over the past six years, Carl and his team have been repairing, cleaning, and maintaining my instrument and I have been nothing but pleased with their work. Their attention to detail and tireless pursuit of perfection is poured into every project they do. A couple of years back, a friend of mine wanted to learn to play cello. Carl's Pro Band offered a great deal on a student rental cello which was easy to set up and perfect for my friend who wanted to try it out before she bought it. Recently, my instrument was stolen from my home. Carl and his team made the purchase of my new instrument very easy and fast, going out of their way to eliminate steps that would have delayed the process to get the horn in my hands as fast as possible. Ultimately, they are all around good people. Straight forward and honest dealing. A wonderful business and the only place to go for your instrument needs.
