From the reviews
There are two guys here and each one specializes in instrument maintenance and repair . One does guitars basses and amps. The other does sax and violin repair. You will save so much money and time here. It’s truly the best shop around for repair. They’re modest but don’t let that fool you.
They did a great job getting my vintage alto in good shape. After being quoted a minimum of $800 to do this work at another shop, my bill here was $180 and the horn sounds fantastic after they worked on it. They were recommended by top saxophonist Gordon Fels.
I use quite a few techs and this shop is by far the fastest on sax and trumpet repair. They do quality work in Sax and trumpet and I would recommend them. Decent dent improvements work, Good valve lapping, and good cleaning on vintage instruments.
Friendly staff, great service. I had trouble finding the baritone saxophone and settled for the tenor but then got a call right back as soon as the baritone was available. There was clear instructions on renting, we did all the paperwork and payment online.
Lessons at Bronstein Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Bronstein Music. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
