Took my late grandfathers banjo there to be cleaned and strung up. The work these guys did is amazing. You can tell they really love what they do. They were professional and very informative of everything they were doing. I would recommend them to everyone.
I love the work these guys do. However given the experience I had woth music go round (rosewood is located inside). I sadly have to take my guitars else where as I collect guitars I have taken 3 guitars to get set up and work on in a span of 2 months and have a few more that need some work done. Sadly I feel that some of the money they get goes to music go rounds rent and I will no longer support that music store. However if they ever own their own shop I would Gladly give them my hard earn money. I would recommend to all my friends. However given my feelings I will send them elsewhere.
Instrument repair is a blend of art and science. Larry Berwald understands this and is a master at his craft. He does amazing work and is a talented player himself, so he understands the artistic needs of the musicians he serves. Very personable with a very high standard of work quality but with affordable pricing.
Larry is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of guitar construction, each of the bits and pieces and what it takes to repair them. Not only highly credible, but extremely personable to work with. Always interesting, never disappointing and always a pleasure to deal with. I admire people who truly enjoy what they do, and Larry lights up when he talks guitars. Definitely the go-to guy, so go talk to him. Bring him your guitar(s). Be prepared to be happier with your instrument than you are now. :-)
The guitar whisperer! Larry truly speaks guitar and knows how to interpret my issues even when my descriptions are sub-par.Larry has worked 2 of my guitars and the results exceeded my expectations. Top notch work!To top it all off, Larry is a very down to earth and personable guy. Don’t be surprised if you become friends with him as well!
Took my acoustic guitar there because the top was warped, got a pricing for the Dr bridge installation plus heat treatment. After many days got a message from the owner saying already started working on it with a price completely different than quoted, when asked about the difference, he apologized and after many more days texted me saying there was nothing wrong with the guitar, so no need for any of that. In person the story changed again, so I cant trust that business. Detail: the top is warped.

Larry does an amazing job. He takes great care to make sure you are happy and his customer service is second to none.
Musicians who use their gear a lot should plan for upkeep, but even then sometimes accidents happen. Of all the gear to break is no worse feeling than dropping and breaking a guitar; perceivably doing irreparable damage. In my dropping the same guitar and taping it back together time after time to keep up with a busy gig schedule I have had to determine more permanent solutions. Larry Berwald has given me permanent solutions many times and I continue to count on his expertise when dealing with my guitars.
Larry Berwald is the man to go see for any and all guitar repair/maintenance issues. I wouldnt trust my guitars with anyone else! Very responsive to emergencies and fantastic work!
Larry did a great job installing my K&K pickup in my Huss @ Dalton, highly recommend !!!
Great service. Friendly people
