Needless to say, it was difficult to find anybody with the expertise and willingness to help on such short notice, but when I happened to call John, he cheerfully assured me "I can take care of that, come on by!" Sure enough, I was in and out within about 10 minutes. A closer music store without as much expertise had offered to "give it a try for 30 minutes." Today? "Maybe ..." It didn't instill confidence. It was clear to me from this first experience with John that he is both capable and kind, and that he really enjoys being great at fixing people's instruments. Thanks, John!

I took a vintage French alto saxophone and then a student model Japanese alto saxophone to John for…read moremaintenance and to fix issues a previous technician had not solved (and also created). John did well with the student model instrument. Unfortunately, the French alto saxophone was left in an unplayable condition; the octave key was not working. I had John take another look at it, but he seemed to just keep it at his shop for another week without doing anything. He also called me repeatedly to pick it up, even though I told him multiple times that I was out of town (I was away for a week, and he called as if I had left it there a much longer time). When I picked it up, he gave me a discount, but I should've been suspicious. I had had enough, so even though the octave key still wasn't working, I took it home. I later noticed a poor solder job and burnt lacquer on a key. When I took the French saxophone to a different repair shop, they fixed the octave key problem, solder, leaks, and adjustment issues he missed. The only reason I would give John two stars instead of one is that he quickly fixed the student instrument; however, I would not trust him with a vintage or professional instrument.

My 10 year old son has been attending Sharon Music Academy since the beginning of this school year…read more2018. He previously took lessons at another music school, and while they were great with his "beginner lessons", I noticed he plateaued with his skill level. After starting at Sharon Music Academy I immediately noticed a difference. He is more confident, he is learning much more music theory than before, and actually enjoys practicing at home! His teacher is Iryna and we could not be more pleased. She is very thorough in her description of each piece before he even begins learning how to play it ("this was a French dance, picture what the dancers would look like" etc etc), my imaginative and creative 10 year old absolutely thrives with this form of teaching and has learned so much about music history already. I would recommend Sharon Music Academy to anyone who wants their child to gain a well rounded musical background.

She now plays BETTER than in 1995, and I'm happy to report has taken its place as my main axe again! As far as I'm concerned, this is the only place that I will trust with my dearest guitars. Many thanks to Greg!
