I needed strings and something was pulling me to this place... I even stubbornly tried to drive elsewhere but made a loop right back to The Music Tree; Im so thankful that I did! The owner, Ric, is very helpful, genuine, and well, a sweetheart! A conversation led to him generously giving me some pro tips on the restoration of a guitar Im working on. This was very selfless; many owners would have been looking to fix the guitar themselves, for a price! I also must say that he is a very talented musician/composer (I heard his band rehearsal)! If my son ever decides to take lessons, this is who I will choose to teach him! My son loved being in Rics shop and talking to him, as well! He is good with the children. I am happy to have met a cool new friend!
