First and foremost, Haley is AWESOME! my son decided to play an instrument this year, and his band…read moreteacher gave us a few recommendations on places we can check out to get instruments at. I'm so glad I checked this location out rather than go to any big company ones. This is definitely a mom and pop small business, but they are absolutely amazing and very pleasant people to work with. From my initial communication with them through email to an in person meeting, everything went smoothly and efficiently. They answered any and all questions I had. Haley was VERY informative and interactive with my son, making sure he understood how to hold, play, and clean his new instrument. They have a variety of instruments with plenty of payment options. They have a rent to own package with a repair and maintenance program as well. They make sure you understand everything in detail to help make the best decision. If you are looking for a new instrument or even maintenance or repair on an exhibiting one, definitely check this place out. They are AWESOME! the shop itself is located in the back of the main house. It's inside a garage turned into a shop. You will see a sign directing you.

He is in his second year of ukulele lessons and has learned so much in a short period of time. Outside of the musical knowledge, my son has also gained confidence and begun to appreciate the enjoyment in music and performing. Outstanding teachers and I would highly recommend Jim Hickey Music.

I found Jim Hickey Music by doing a Google search for guitar lessons for my daughter. She had…read moreplayed around on the guitar some and mentioned she wanted to take lessons. I was worried about not having a referral because I didn't want to get locked into a contract or long term deal if she didn't want to stick with it. I spoke to Jim on the phone and told him want I was looking for and that I wanted my daughter to take the lead. Jim understood and was more than willing to be flexible. I immediately liked Jim and my daughter has enjoyed her lesson time with the studio. There is no pressure and it's a fun environment. My daughter wasn't sure if she wanted to continue her lessons after the first month but after working with Jim - she changed her mind - We've been with Jim since August and are looking forward to having a great time at the holiday concert and many more. Jim has some great students that have also been around a for a long time and I think that says a lot about Jim and his team. Thanks Jim for all you do!

I can't say enough good things about Kevin. I've been playing guitar for 54 years and have been to…read moremy share of luthiers. None of them are Kevin's equal. Precision craftsmanship, timely completion of the work, more than fair pricing, and on top of all that, he's a really nice and caring guy. An absolute pleasure to do business with. He recently did a complete set-up on my Gib​son Firebird, including a new nut, saddle, and body repair. And today he addressed an intonation issue with my Martin. My guitars have never played so well. He's a guitarist's best friend. You and your instrument will be in great hands with Kevin.

Love the design of the custom pipe structure that displays guitars in the main showroom. If you're a guitar player, you've got to stop by just to see and experience the place. It's great. The staff is equally amazing. Philip recently set up my white Gretsch 12 string Falcon Rancher and WOW, it plays like a dream now. I didn't think the guitar was too bad off the shelf - but Philip was able to dial it in to where it plays like a dream now. So much better. I'm super thrilled. I chatted with Philip when picking my guitar up and learned he is a true luthier with the schooling and experience to back it up. He actually built guitars professionally for 10 years so he's not just a guy who changes strings. He's a guitar master craftsman who knows how to get the most out of a guitar.

The pricing here is…read morevery affordable (at the time I'm writing this it's $22/month) and the contract is month to month. I chose this place to rent from because my rental fee can go towards the purchase of a violin from the shop, and because they are a repair shop as well. I figured if I do decide to purchase in the future, it will be nice to have a locals business I can trust! When I stopped in the store, David helped me get exactly what I needed. I appreciate how there was zero pressure to buy a bunch of accessories and no judgment that I was going to get back into violin at my own pace without an instructor to start. He mentioned they know many great teachers, but seemed genuinely happy I was exploring this hobby in my own way. Overall, I got very good vibes from the shop and have already loved playing an instrument again. I highly recommend The Violin Shoppe for anyone interested in a stringed instrument!
