I always try and support local businesses over corporate businesses however after dealing with owner Chris I may think twice. If there's no complaints or issues he's awesome however when there is an issue he falls apart. I called him several times about a charge that I didn't feel was appropriate based upon our initial phone conversation and he starts telling me that my phone calls cost him money! He said he was losing revenue and actually started to calculate his loses over the phone. He's not trustworthy and I would get things in writing if doing business in the future.

We were looking for a used bass clarinet for our son and we contacted Chris at Agave Music through a website stating he had one for sale. Even though it was a store not near our home we decided to go see the instrument. Chris showed us what he had done to the instrument to refurbish it and let our son play it to get a feel if it would be an instrument to consider. He was very knowledgeable and we were pleased that he does a complete overhaul of the instrument, not just what needs to be done to get it playing. He has a generous return policy and encouraged us to have our sons teacher or others that play to try it out to make sure it was suitable for him. He taught both of us about caring for the instrument and synthetic reeds that our son may want to try. Overall a nice, relaxed good guy with great knowledge of his trade and we wish him years of success. We will definitely do business with him again.

Chris did a fantastic job on my clarinet! I am currently pursuing my doctorate in clarinet performance, and Chris is one of the finest technicians I have encountered.

Chris did an excellent job on my horn, restoring it to like new condition. He found a solder joint problem that probably was overlooked at the factory. It plays better and easier than ever. Chris is very personable and conscientious. I highly recommend him! David Kinderfather Rio Verde, AZ
