From Around the Web:
- I haven’t had much of an opportunity to provide an update on life & the general pursuit of happiness. I have seen a lot of that this week in the eyes of my daughter. The joy on her face when we surprised her with…a new guitar. First, let me put in a shameless plug for Art’s Music in Inverness and Jessica Freehling-Kazzie. She was so helpful & patient and really led us to the right instrument for Ellen. The Breedlove has a sweet sound […] I would recommend Jessica & Art’s to anyone looking to make music […] Thanks for all your help! We’ve had a great weekend together as a family. -Jeff (Blogger – Posted December 26, 2010)

- I have shopped at Arts for several years and have found them consistently approachable and knowledgeable […] Arts covers a broader swath than many music shops. They significantly target the school band and orchestra markets and are heavily invested in coordinating instruction with product purchase. Yet they still have significant offerings in guitars, keyboards, amps and drums […] they have good stock and reasonable pricing […] Smaller store so not enormous inventory but decent selection. They fill their niche nicely in Bhm and are an important place to check out when seriously shopping for instruments in this market…There is not a better place for the broader market of woodwinds, brass etc. for school market nor nicer people nor people more committed to instruction.

- I was a bit reluctant to shop at Art’s after reading the last reviews. However, I did stop in and much to my pleasure, I was treated with exeptional service by Jeff B. I was looking for a voice over box. Unfamiliar with the exact item I needed, Jeff took the time to show me 2 different style units. Not only did he show me… he took them out of the box, hooked them up with a mic, and turned on a piano for me to used as rhythm. I found the whole environment to be quite accommodating and very adequate for people to find what they want in the music department. Great store and shopping experience. The price was quite a bit less than I expected too. Thanks Jeff.

This is a wonderful source to purchase any school band instrument that your child may require. They also visit schools for maintenance of your instrument and to sell supplies. They offer very convenient payment plans. I purchased my son’s percussian set from them and it has proven to be of excellent quality. I would definitely purchase from them again.
