Have gone to Erik for bass lessons for a few months now. He's tailored lessons/jamming to my style with additions of theory and other music types that would stretch me in new directions. Fun to work with; each lesson just flies by! Highly recommended! Have gone to Erik for bass lessons for a few months now.

This store is an institution, as is its owner. Why give your money to an online corporate behemoth when you can support a local business and work with someone like Erik who will learn your name and get you exactly what you need at the best price? A must-shop. This store is an institution, as is its owner.
