Testimonials

On 10/1/2023 Elizabeth Richardson had this to say:
We always have a great experience in this store! My son dropped his trumpet down a set of bleachers and the owner was able to get it back into working condition on a Saturday morning so my son wouldn’t miss any time without it in marching band. This store is such a valuable resource to our community. Thank you!!
