I genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about Uncle Ed. As a mother of a child with autism,…read morefinding someone who genuinely understands and believes in your child is something you never take for granted. When I first enrolled Zac in piano lessons, my goal wasn't necessarily for him to learn how to play an instrument. I wanted to introduce him to music as a healthy outlet to help him regulate his emotions, particularly during moments of frustration when he struggles with self-injurious behaviors. I also hoped piano would help strengthen his fine motor skills, an area he has worked incredibly hard on. What I found in Uncle Ed was so much more than a piano teacher. He is someone who recognizes that every child learns differently and that progress isn't always measured by how well they can play a song. Sometimes, it's about patience and giving a child the opportunity to discover what they're capable of. As a parent of a child with special needs, you spend so much time advocating for your child, searching for opportunities, and hoping to find people who see beyond a diagnosis. Having someone who sees Zac for the wonderful little boy he is, rather than focusing on his challenges, means everything to me. Uncle Ed has become such a meaningful part of Zac's journey, and I am incredibly grateful for the encouragement, and care he brings into his lessons. If you're looking for someone who offers more than simply teaching piano, I wholeheartedly recommend Uncle Ed. Sometimes the greatest teachers are the ones who make a difference far beyond the instrument.

As an adult with work and so many responsibilities, it's not always easy to practice as much as I'd like -- but he meets you where you are and truly wants you to grow at your own pace. I'm genuinely happy with the progress I've made so far. They're also very accommodating with scheduling. As long as you give at least a day's notice, they're happy to adjust your lesson time.

If your hesitant about getting one of these guitars , dont be…read more I purchased a guitar a few weeks ago and don't like leaving a reviews until i've had a chance to really run it through the paces. i have very expensive Gibson's, PRS's as well as fender guitars, this AIO SC77 guitar , is among the best quality guitars I have played. My high-end guitars do not resonate as well as this guitar. They do not look as good as this guitar. harmonically this guitar rings extremely well, and it is a very comfortable guitar to play for hours. So don't let the price tag fool you. These are extremely good guitars at a price that will make me return every year to grab one. Jin and his team are wonderful people and it was a pleasure discovering their store and their guitars. I appreciated talking to lee as well, good people. On a technical note , I dropped off a case and provided some Thomastik-Infeld strings, and Jin set the guitar up perfectly for intonation, action, and resonance. He tweaked it for my personal likes. you wont find this kind of detailed care in a big box , guitar store. Even if you don't need one, I know they would make a great gift for anyone who wants to learn how to play guitar.

If I lived in Los Angeles, I would buy and take my guitars here…read more I was at the store nearby and I saw a big guitar sign. OF COURSE I had to check it out. The windows were really dark but if I peeked in I could see stuff. I walked in and found a couple and a lot of guitars! They welcomed me in and I was intrigued. He showed me a Telecaster style guitar and it had beautiful sustain. Much more than any Fender I have owned. I knew something was up. I said how come it has so much sustain? He turned the guitar around - neck through body!!! WOW! I wish I had more time to play the guitar through an amp, but he told me how he imports the guitars and sets them up perfectly. I believe it, the guitar played like butter and sustained so good. Then the kicker. The guitars are around $500. What??????? Let me put this in perspective. Maybe in 1980 you could get an Ibanez 335 type guitar - but it wouldn't play like this. It would need serious setup. My Suhr plays great but I paid way more than this. My Eric Johnson Strat has flaws and I wish was setup by Jin Soo. I don't need another guitar. I have so many. However, I cannot stop thinking about the guitar I played and how well he set it up. For $500 I'm not expecting miracles but this is close to it. It's a $500 guitar setup like one of the best guitars in the world. Smooth, no buzz, sustain. I want one!

I recently bought a violin from this store and I love the experience. We told Emily that we like to…read moretry Italian violins and when we arrived at the store, she had already placed all the relevant violins on a tabletop in a private room for us to start testing. The staff were super helpful and knowledgable, and they assisted us in the entire purchase process. The best thing is that they even allowed us to bring the violin home for a week to test and show our teacher. The best thing is that their website had youtube videos of their violin collection that are for sale. So even before we drove to Glendale, we were able to shortlist the instruments that we like to try. That saved us a lot of time. I also had a chance to meet the owner Tom. He is super nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend his store to all my friends.

While I appreciated being refunded for it, it was disappointing that it was unavailable. Additionally, another item listed as new was actually an open-floor model. I do want to thank Diane for reaching out to inform me about this and offering a discount, though I ultimately chose to decline that item. The rest of my items were processed quickly and arrived promptly. However, I was disappointed with the packaging quality. An expensive music box intended as a gift was shipped without any bubble wrap or protective securing--it was simply placed loose in the box alongside a music stand bag. Fortunately, it arrived without obvious damage, but better care should be taken when packaging fragile items.
