Testimonials:
Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001 Hi Bryan, I received my TC bouzouki this morning, and after a long day of playing, I feel totally satisfied of this purchase.
As written on your web site by other customers, it sounds really good and is very easy to play. Thank you very much, Fred
Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2000 Hi Mickey, The (Trinity College) Bouzouki has arrived yesterday and I'm very happy with it: It looks very nice, It's worked well and it sounds fantastic! The sound of the pick-up is also v e r y good (much better than the Fishman in my acoustic guitar), and as the playability is also quite good, there's only one thing missing: I need a lot of practice (but it's not too difficult to change from the mandolin). Thanks a lot - viele Grüße an Sophia Norbert Feinendegen, Germany
Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 Mickey, Sorry this is late. I'm writing you in regards of the TC bouzouki I've purchase about a week ago. This is a great zook especially for people just starting out. It has a good sustain, tone and is well built. I'm very happy with this purchase. Rich
Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2000 Hi Mickey, Thanks to your great information and service, I'm a bouzouki player now! Maybe that's overstating it a bit. How's this: I own a new bouzouki. ;-) It arrived Friday in perfect condition. I tuned it up and was playing in minutes. It sounds great and I can't remember being this excited about diving head-first into a new instrument. Thanks again for all your help! -- Bill Burke
Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2000 Mickey, Received the bouzouki in great shape. Thanks for the quick response and shipping. Everything worked out great and the TC 'Zouk is really beautiful! Thanks again, Sean Hennessy
Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2000 Dear Mickey, I have already contacted your company, I spoke with a very pleasant lady who took my credit card information and processed my order for me. I have had my bouzouki for close to a week now and I'm very pleased with it. Wish me luck in playing this odd instrument ! I may just have to tune it like my 5 string banjo and play it Scruggs style :o) Best wishes and thanks Dan Yarbrough
Date: Tue, 30 May 2000 Hi, My name is Bill Burke. I bought a Trinity College bouzouki from you a few months back, and I'm VERY happy with it. I'm now interested in buying an upright bass. I'm curious about the Cremona SB-1. How much are you selling that bass for, and do you have any idea how much it would cost to ship it to New Hampshire? Thanks for your help, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.-- Bill Burke
Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1999 Hello Mickey, The Trinity College Irish bouzouki arrived safely today. Looks, sounds and feels great! Very pleasing tone, volume and sustain. The neck is very comfortable, with very good intonation. I have it strung in the conventional Irish style (unison), and I really like the woody tone. A beautiful, well-made instrument I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone interested in Irish bouzouki. Thanks once again for all your help! Sincerely, Doug
Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 Mickey I received the Trinity College Bouzouki today, I couldn't be happier. It arrived in perfect condition and is exactly as pictured on Ebay & described. This is an excellent instrument & I will pass word along to fellow bouzouki players, especially at the workshop that I will be attending in June. Thanks again Bill
Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 Hi! Thanks for the very quick response!!! And thanks for the Info on the Trinity College Bouzouki!!! I'm Deeply impressed in the 100% upgrade policy (Makes buying an instrument through you preferable to buying it elsewhere!) Thanks again for the Info! -Jeff
