I visited this lovely store today, in search of strings for a donated electric guitar for our facility. I casually asked the man sitting behind the counter (whom I found out later was Tony) how much he would give us for the guitar I had brought in, he gave me a price that I thought was fair ( I have no knowledge of guitars lol). I had explained to him that I thought an acoustic would probably be better suited for our facility and that I would speak to my boss on Monday about possibly getting the funds for an upgrade. I explained where I worked and he said hold on, I think I have a plan, I said great, I love plans lol. So he began walking through the aisles for a minute or two, then stopped and said this is what I want to do. How about I take your electric and give you this acoustic, for no charge. My mouth dropped!!!! I thanked him like a crazy person! Then he said, how about you bring one or two of your people in for a free lesson once a week, INDEFINITELY!!!!! Again dropped mouth, tears in my eyes, thanking him!!! I finally get his name...I shall call him Tony the Great!! Then he said, how about if one of your people needs to get out they can come and clean up the shop for me and maybe learn something. I'm still in awe, absolute awe of his humanity, his generosity!!!! But wait there's more... After a couple of hugs and many more thank yous, he says hold on you're gonna need these..picks...oh and this...a beginners book. I just couldn't even take anymore and ran out the door screaming thank you after thank you. I get to the car, about to call my boss, here comes Tony the great...hold on he says, you'll need this too...a tuner. He says when they come in for their lessons we will teach them how to use it!!!! He said now make sure you call me so we can set up that time. I said of course!!!!!
In a world full of so much ugliness, man does it feel good to have met Tony the Great!!!
Thank you...
Read moreI can't speak highly enough of this establishment. I have now taken two guitars in for repair, purchased two new instruments, and taken lessons. All of which have been 5/5 star interactions.
The lessons and repairs are very affordable, and they really take care of you. There are no contracts or weird hidden fees. They're fluid in their booking and are OK if you decide it's not for you. My Banjo lessons were informative and really helped shape my playing.
When I purchased a new guitar, gosh I probably spent hours playing every single acoustic in the store before I decided on the winner. Tony hooked me up with an amp to test the electric components, a tuner I could use throughout my hunting, and A+ recommendations & service. I left very happy with the endeavour. I never felt rushed or scrutinized for wanting to play the more high-end of their products. (I've been to music shops that have asked for proof of bank statements in order to play! Crazy!)
They always take care of me in my visits, so in return, I try to supply them with as much business as I can, whether it be strings, picks, cables, or equipment. If you've been ordering online for your gear, consider supporting locally instead. If you've been considering lessons, this is your sign! And if you need your instrument fixed, look no further. Greenfield Music Center is...
Read moreI have never bought a guitar on line before. I was especially wary of spending as much as the used Martin M-36 that Greenfield Music Center had listed on their website. I made contact with Tony who described the guitar, plus offered a 10 day no questions asked return. I took a chance, gave them my credit card number and hoped for the best.
Two days later my new/used guitar arrived. It was everything Tony had described plus some. It is absolutely beautiful and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Greenfield Music Center to anyone who may read this review. I wish everyone was as honest and straight forward as them.
The only reason I gave them 5 stars is I can't...
