Outstanding Professional Guidance from RAF for our Tanor YTS-480 Purchase!

We recently had the pleasure of working with RAF and Chris at Music and Arts store at Manalapan NJ. We were purchasing a new Tanor YTS-480 saxophone for our daughter and we cannot recommend their professional help highly enough. As a musician deeply invested in finding the right instrument for her needs, I greatly appreciated RAF's and Chris’s insightful guidance and extensive knowledge. From our initial conversation, RAF demonstrated a keen understanding. He patiently listened to our requirements, discussed our budget, and offered tailored recommendations without ever feeling pushy. RAF's professional approach extended beyond just product knowledge. He was incredibly helpful in detailing the purchasing process, Thanks to his clear communication and genuine desire to assist, the entire buying experience was smooth, pleasant and stress-free. For anyone in the music and arts community looking for professional and reliable assistance in their equipment purchases, RAF is an absolute gem. Highly recommended...

Employees in the shop have always been pleasant and helpful. I was super frustrated by their rental policies though. Granted, it was over the 2019-2021 time period, but school lessons ended and we honestly forgot about my daughter's instrument; it didnt show up on the online portal and M&A stopped billing... so when we realized we still had her instrument, we thought they were just offering a grace period. Nope. I owed $$$ for a year and a half of rental for an instrument that sat in the back of a closet. Since she stopped playing and my other child started, I thought I'd just return it and hold onto the credit built up during the rental period. That didn't work either. Apparently, when you return an instrument, you need to cash in that day or it disappears. I suppose I should have done a better job of reading the...
