Subject: Picking out a Bass.

I just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our visit to K.C. Strings. The experience Julia had of picking out her bass was a wonderful experience. We LOVED the tour of the workshop and have already shared it with our neighbor who played the cello in high school. The website doesn't do your workshop justice. It is very impressive! Perhaps one day Julia will own an Anton Krutz bass!!

Please let Brian know that Oklahoma Joe's was everything he promised and more!! The portions were gigantic. He didn't perpare us for that and we are eating the left overs for dinner tonight!! Give him our thanks for all his help with Julia and looking at the basses.

Sincerely,

Steve and Sheli Milrod

Subject: Using K.C. Strings Bass.

I was at KMEA on February the 27th this year to play with an intercollegiate band. I stopped to look at the K.C. Strings booth and was looking at the instruments they brought with them. While I was talking with Mac and Dustin who were running the booth we started talking about the bass I was borrowing to play the concert with and I lamented about it's poor quality. I motioned over to one of the basses they had on display and said how my bass was almost identical to that particular one.

Mac then asked me when my concert was and when I told him he said that I could borrow the K.C. Strings bass to play the concert. I left the booth with a bass, case and bass buggy (Which is one of the best inventions for the bass) and played my concert. The bass sounded fabulous and I couldn't have been happier. I have always been impressed with K.C. Strings and the people who work there, but this weekend I was blown over by the customer service the store offers.

Both Mac and Dustin recognized me from when I have brought my bass into the shop to be looked at. Thank You K.C. Strings for making such fine instruments and having such a knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Hello! My sister and I were in your K.C. Strings shop last Saturday afternoon to drop off a violin bow for restoration. I was just writing to check on the progress of the restoration process. I am so much looking forward to the day the violin and bows arrive, and I can begin my musical endeavors once again. Better late, than never!

Have a wonderful day, and thanks again for your outstanding service and expertise that has exceeding all our expectations.

I am still surfing the web site, and look forward to doing business with your fine establishment in the near future.

Sincerely,

Patt Lewis

It amazes me that this professional shop is seated in Merriam, KS, and I wanted to take the time to say "Thank You" to everyone who is a part of this incredible staff. Your knowledge, expertise and customer service are the reasons that we will continue to support this business for years to come. After just a couple visits, it is easy to feel like family. Best of luck to you!

Subject: The Shop!

With no previous school background a very limited lesson experience from another store with an inferior instrument, I meekly walked into heaven. I was greeted as if I was someone of substance and asked if I would like to try a few instruments out. I wasn't even knowledgeable to do that. So they played a few I picked out because they were "pretty." Again, the professionalism they demonstrated to me was amazing. They even let me take the instrument home to see how it would sound in my modest home. Wow. It sounded better there. I immediately took my simple little old violin I had been scratching out tunes on and they were generous to me again. I made my payments in cash which was the first time I startle them. The teacher was kind and advanced me quickly to her little orchestra group. While, due to personal problems, I am not playing, I have my little violin and it comforts me when I play for my church or my family.

Thank you, Anton, and the rest of the amazing "family" at K.C. Strings. I will not be "anybody" at the great musical events. But I am a somebody at your store and you remember my name. Thank you for being such a quality store to all people and bringing music to all of us. May God richly bless all of you and your staff. Amen.
