Ebony & Ivory Music School & Shop Reviews

Purchased a Yamaha piano from here and I was very pleased with the experience. The owner was very pleasant and explained everything to me. There is a certain level of accountability which you don't get with online purchasing; whereas here I was reassured that if anything goes wrong I can always return and they will resolve any problems.

Took an old 15 years plus, broken and damaged Pignose travel guitar with integral amp and speaker that had seen the band end of a 'mock'(ahem) stage fight.(damage included split neck, damaged speaker, cable sockets and control knobs, and damaged strap attachments, broken string heads) . The shop were optimistic about its repair.. me less so .. Tony the shop's guitar tech did an astonishing almost bionic man overhaul and near total rebuild rewiring, glueing sticking and replacing speaker, control knobs, switch mechanisms, he made the split neck fixed and almost remachined, ank kindly fixed the battery housing, popped in a new battery and strings and fixed the action and neck tension. OMG its AWESOME it sounds better than it did before! The speaker has been set to gently give a perfect 'start of waterfall stone roses' gentle,humming feedback at total full gain (if you cup your hand over the pickup) and you can carefully play over it, or negate it by gently touching the lower E. it sounds great and i keep using it as a stylistic start to playing. Im supremely pleased to get part of my history back, but also everytime I went into the shop, everyone is always a pleasure to deal with, there always seems to be someone popping in and out for lessons or advice and the whole feel of the shop and teaching area is extremely positive personably friendly and helpful.. They were careful to take 'before' photos and to keep in touch by text about progress and decisions, and made everything very easy. What a great experience!
