“While I can't speak regarding a purchase, I want to rave, Rave, RAVE about their guitar tech Mike. This guy is nice, knowledgeable, non-condescending and seems to love what he does. Prices for set ups and what not at GC are steep, but I will pay those prices as long as GC HP keeps Mike around. Every guitar I've taken for setups/re-string plays sweet as can be. Thanks Mike!“

“Music Conservatory of Illinois is a great place having a quality staff providing quality music education. It is one of the pest place to learn music and explore all the idea running behind in our mind. So, especially for kids it is indeed the best leaning place for learning music“
“One of our neighbors recommended Picardy, and we couldn’t have made a better choice! Ms. Cheng is gentle, firm, encouraging, challenging, and understanding all at the same time. She brings professionalism to piano lessons while also making it very fun. I would highly recommend talking lessons at Picardy Piano Studio“
“Hired Sam to tune and repair my mothers piano which had not been serviced in years. Sam arrived on time and was able to do a difficult repair with ease. Pricing was fair for the job.“
“Great selection of stringed instruments and accessories , and the staff are super knowledgeable and friendly.“
“Janet is a great teacher. Imagine a high school senior looking forward to his weekly clarinet lessons and coming home looking "lighter" and happier. Janet finds just what he needs to work on and pushes him to do so. He plays better and more confidently in the high school band. She has also helped him to prepare for college music scholarship auditions. Her time is flexible and rates are reasonable.“
“On Friday, I started looking for a local professional piano tuner and cleaner. After a quick Google search, I found the Mount Prospect-based Key Tone Piano Services. From the moment I called, John was very friendly, and we scheduled an appointment for yesterday.Prior to showing up, John called me ahead of time to let give me a heads up. When he showed up, he wore a mask and took appropriate COVID-19 precautions. From there, he took a few pieces off the piano and I left him to it.This was probably the second time in our piano's lifespan that it had ever been tuned, and the previous owners didn't use it much, so there was a lot to do. This wasn't a problem for Key Tone Piano Services as John adjusted a misaligned key, tightened the strings as needed, and removed adhesive from labels previously placed on the keys.John finished his piano tuning work in roughly four hours (probably longer than the standard since it was so out of tune). When he was finished, he also took some time to educate me on piano tuning and cleaning best practices. Out of curiosity, he even looked up the model and found that our piano is from the 1940's.Today, he followed up with a quick email, highlighting his warranty policy along with a few remaining tips to set us up for success moving forward. Overall, John Dukes was extremely professional and skilled at his work. I very much look forward to working with him and Key Tone Piano Services again next year.“
“Cecilia is an amazing pianist and is great with children. My son lights up when he plays piano with Cecilia. She gives him so much confidence. I highly recommend her as a piano teacher!“
“My daughter has taken piano, voice and music theory lessons with Audie for seven years. He has helped shape her love for music and the way she approaches each song. We love the many opportunities that Christopher Laughlin provides for their students to practice performing in front of an audience, building up confidence and comfort as well as plenty of fun. Great experience, highly recommend this school.“
“Great store with a wide variety of instruments that are all set up properly, as well as repair services that are second to none, best repairs and set ups in the Chicago-land area and arguably the world! I've been coming here for 13 years and have bought most of my instruments here, best guitar shop in the Chicago-land area bar none!“
