Double-check you bill>>> overcharge 5/20/2009

Very cool store, and a friendly, competent guy, BUT he tried charging us for something we did not buy. I was there with my nephew from out of town, and maybe he took us for tourists... We selected some guitar strings and two recorders, and paid by credit card. We were in a bit of a hurry, and the total seemed high, but I just signed and we went on our way. Then I started thinking about the amount, and looked on the sales receipt: voila, he charged $12.99 for a ""Blues Bottle"". I turned right around and marched back up and asked about the discrepancy. My money was cheerfully refunded, and he apologized profusely for the ""mistake"". Watch your wallet around this shop. Pros: Very friendly Cons: Tried to cheat us more

Great people 12/10/2007

This is a great shop with some great deals on equipment...everything from horns to guitars. More importantly they are all super cool and super helpful. My wife is a beginner at the guitar and she brought the guitar down to them (nothing fancy at all) ,and they helped her with how to string and tune it. She walked out with a simple tuner and wasn't pressured into buying anything more. No pressure, no attitude. They've got my business. Pros: great people Cons: none more

First Flight Music 5/24/2007

I have been searching for a full service music store in New York since moving here four years ago. First Flight is it. Their broad selection of instruments and helpful staff are the best of any music store in the downtown area. Dan, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable regarding all things music and is always willing to take the time to answer questions. And although I have yet to use their repair shop, the tecnicians are very reputable by all accounts. This place is awesome!!! more

knowledgeable & enthusiastic 5/20/2007

I went here to buy a part for my guitar and was quite pleased with the selection and service. They had the right part (a potentiameter) and what looks to be a great selection of guitars and musical knickknacks. Also a wall full of strings of all sorts. I will definately return when I need to make my next musical purchase! Pros: open 7 days a week more
