David Gage String Instruments

They do a good job but charged me over $100 for a simple bass set up on an electric fender p bass. If I had known that was the cost I would have never gone there. There are amazing places to go in nyc that do an excellent job for half the price

Stepped in looking for a pickup to take home to Florida and use the next day. I've never installed a pickup or even removed the strings on my bass yet, but David not only took the time to explain each pickup type they sold, but also showed me how to install all three. I eventually decided to go with the most convenient option for travelling musicians (the Soundclip), but even took the time to show me the different applications of the Soundclip. We tested different pick up positions -mind you, his store was about to close when I walked in, but he continued to take his time and show me everything I asked about. Thankfully, I got the piece I needed and it worked perfectly all weekend on my bass. Love it. It's made me even more excited to play double bass now.

Great place, friendly expert service (and fantastic atmosphere, the place has been going for 40 years!) Was mainly looking for a place to get my bow rehaired, but Dan really took his time with me so we could address the condition of my instrument as a whole and brainstorm on multiple issues in the same appointment. Came away with an action plan of how to get my newly-inherited grandmother's viola in playing order. Yay! Highly recommended to string players of all levels.

Rented a student double bass. Visiting the place almost felt like stepping into an old school museum. Employees were very helpful and friendly.
