    Many well wishes in the future for Dan at ABZ. I had an excellent experience with him today, and…read moreI'll try to be as categorical as I can about this... Location: 5 out of 5 Yes, the workshop is actually in the burbs of Milwaukee, but he makes home visits, as well as school visits, and probably institution visits as well. Can't get any better than when someone who has a service or commodity or amenity makes a house call. Selection: 4 out of 5 (or 0 out of 5) Please read this careful. Dan ONLY works on cellos. And by works on, I mean that he hand crafts these bad boys, sets them up (quite drolly too with a caliper I might add), and includes a year of service with a purchase. Looking for a violin? No. Looking for a guitar? Move along. Looking for a viola? Again, no. Looking for a plastic recorder? I should punch you in the nuts. Dan builds, service, and works on one instrument only. The cello. The offerings that he has are the following: Fortissimo: This professional grade cello is made from select solid spruce and beautifully aged, flamed maple. The hand carved solid maple back on each of our 4/4 size models has its own unique flamed rich woodgrain finish, and the purfling is inlaid. The fingerboard and pegs are crafted from select quality rosewood. The sound is rich and very robust. Each one comes with quality soft bag and a high grade Brazilwood bow with mother of pearl inlays. The tailpiece is made from the highest grade ebony with a decorative mother of pearl eyelet. This model is a perfect blend of precision craftsmanship and wonderfully deep robust resonance. Vivace (the one I purchased): The spruce and maple on this cello is matured for 12 years before crafting. The fingerboard, pegs, and tail piece are all made from high grade ebony. It has a less glossy hand applied spirit finish. Crescendo: His top of the line 12 year cello. This amazing new age cello is made from select solid spruce and beautifully 12 year aged, flamed maple. The hand carved solid maple back on each of our 4/4 size models has its own unique flamed rich woodgrain finish, and the purfling is inlaid. The fingerboard and pegs, and tail piece are crafted from select high grade ebony. There may be one model in between these - please inquire with him as I am by no means an expert on any of his craft. Customer Service: 5 out of 5 Well, he agreed to come to the city during rush hour, and that by itself should count for a lot. Like I mentioned, there's a 1 year service period where he will work on your cello (for free, I think). Real stand up guy - brought his kid along (his inspiration for making the cellos in the first place). Does things by the book - even charging the correct amount of sales tax. Pricing: 4 out of 5. Are cellos cheap? No. Are hand crafted cellos cheap? No. Are hand crafted non laminate cellos cheap? No. But are his cellos cheaper than something I could purchase from a boutique store or even online? Yes. And they sound amazing. The entry level 6 year and the top of the line 12 year are very boisterous and voluminous, but the mellow 12 year cello (Vivace) has an excellent tone. If you want to purchase a cello for yourself, or a student, do hurry - I believe he'll be raising prices on his entry level cello come fall.

    I decided to go out on a limb and order a cello online…read more After an arduous amount of research, these people kept popping up. I paid for my Fortissimo cello on a Monday , and it arrived at my Brooklyn home on Thursday. I also requested Larson strings be put on it. Not only did the cello come completely set up as requested, it was almost completely in tune! This cello has a truly powerful tone. Great service! Great product!

    Great program for kids and adults to learn music in a professional environment but friendly and fun…read moreat the same time. My son has been in the program for three years playing guitar. Corey, the owner is a fantastic teacher. The school also has several public events each year teaming the students up into bands that play on stage. Last night was Mo's Irish Pub and the students totally rocked for three hours!

    My daughter has been a part of Wauwatosa School of Music for many years. It has been an…read moreexceptional experience. When she began she was a grade school student with no musical background she now is in college. Cory Tcheng made her feel like an accomplished musician when she was young. She could select the songs she wanted to play and he would teach her within her ability. As she became more skilled she would be introduced to more complicated techniques. Cory holds "Rock Concerts" rather than recitals. Even the young performers play their favorite genre of music. As they develop they continue to play the songs and style of music they love but their selections have more depth. There is a performance focus. The students are grouped together for their concerts. Each student being in the spotlight with other students providing backup music. It is very impressive to see. I highly encourage you to look their website and listen to clips of the performances. The school is for any age and ability, young to mature. Everyone will find it encouraging, challenging and rewarding. It started off with a guitar focus but the school now includes drums, piano, woodwinds and vocal. Our experience has been in guitar with the owner Cory TCheng. After almost a decade With Wauwatosa School of Music I have ONLY positive comments. The school has performed at many local events, Tosa Fest, Hart Park Fest, Tosa 4th of July parade.
