“We love the Lebanon Music Academy! Katie is wonderful with my daughter and she’s learning guitar foundations and fundamentals while playing songs my daughter enjoys. Katie also adapts her lessons to the way my daughter learns best to keep her engaged. I would highly recommend Lebanon Music Academy to anyone.”
“I recently decided to upgrade my mandolins (I had an Eastman PCH and a Kentucky KM-505), to try to inspire more practice and playing. I found the Mandolin Store online, and picked out an instrument I thought would be an upgrade, but turned out not to be. I was bummed because I had a strap button installed, and assumed that meant I would be unable to return it for a refund. I called the store, spoke to Zach, and was struck by his helpfulness and willingness to allow a return. He then highly recommended their own Lafferty line, and guaranteed those would be an upgrade. He also told me that the LF-1 (then listed at 3,750) was as good as instruments in his store costing twice as much. After considerable thought, I decided to take the jump, and I’m very happy I did. The LF-1 is an amazing instrument, it blew me away immediately with its volume and clarity. I particularly loved/love the meatiness of the mid-range; it can do whatever one wants it to do, the chop is crisp and clear, individual notes have a bright, loud sweetness to them. The neck, fretboard, and fretwork is stellar, as good as any I’ve seen on a fretted instrument; the frets are fully dressed and polished, there is not a single buzzing fret anywhere. The neck is a “soft” V, which I’m just getting used to, but happy to have, it allows a bit more reach and leverage in fretting. The tuners are good too, no skimping on those. Aesthetically, the mandolin is a thing of beauty with a very nicely executed burst on the top. Honestly, I can’t imagine a better playing, sounding instrument, and my hope to be inspired to play more is happening—haven’t put it down since I bought it…they will have to pry it out of my dead hands some day. I also can’t say enough kind things about Zach at the Mandolin store, he’s awesome. If you feel inclined to buy a new instrument, do give him a call before purchasing, he’s extremely helpful and just a great human being!”
“Excellent customer service! I was buying my first guitar and they were very helpful and informative on what I needed to start with for lessons. I will be back to buy my next guitar from them for sure. Highly recommend this store for your musical needs.”
