I know this place received some bad reviews, but to be honest when I was there I have an idea as to the type of customer might be making these comments.
They know the instruments, they know what you need, they know value, and this place is not a playground. Its a business that knows its product, and they are Italian. They know who are buying customers and who are just browsing. Pedrini's has been around for awhile and this is why. They get repeat customers and by word of mouth. I had a friend recommend them and glad they did. Their prices are market and they make a point to tell you what you are buying and the value in it.
I recommend them if you are serious about buying/renting an instrument.
