What's on the wall
“The shop was recently renovated so the room where customers can browse and play instruments is separate from the studio where classes and workshops are held.”
“I attended Billy's sound bath session, a harmonious blend of resonant gongs, singing bowls, and various percussion instruments that created both powerful and peaceful soundscapes.”
From the reviews
WOW...! I read some of the 1 and 2 star reviews, and I'm shocked. I was visiting from Beaufort, SC, and I went into the store with 3 kids. A cool employee was there (see image), and yes, he did tell us that he'd prefer it if we didn't touch some of the instruments, but he did it very nicely...
I absolutely love Skinny Beats Sound Shop! Billy (the owner) is super friendly and knowledgeable about sound healing and the instruments they carry. I purchased a set of crystal quartz singing bowls, an ocean drum, a rainstick, and a wooden shell chime from the shop.
Skinny Beats owned by Billy Zanksi has so much to offer and the best part is I feel good whenever I go to Skinny Beats Sound Shop. I am excited that in addition to the Wednesday night drumming, which I love, he now has the Light System Scalar frequency added to his sound healing events.
This intimate shop is packed with an impressive array of sound equipment. I attended Billy's sound bath session, a harmonious blend of resonant gongs, singing bowls, and various percussion instruments that created both powerful and peaceful soundscapes.
Lessons at Skinny Beats Sound Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Skinny Beats Sound Shop. 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
