Great place 12/22/2009

Although it has been 7 years since I have been in there, I remember the owner as skilled, knowledgable, opinionated, and not very nice at all. While the three former often lead to the latter, as a new bassist I was looking for information and not scorn. It seems my limited funds and lack of orchestral blue blood were not worh his presence or one of his instruments. "You did not buy that here. Get it out and don't bring it back" were the phrases I left with. Again, he is knowledgable, skilled, and deserves his opinions. I hope over the last few years he has switched to decaf. more

Reck Violin....for your string intstrument needs 9/21/2005

In the Iowa City school district, around the age of 10 years old, students are given the opportunity to try out string instruments (sometimes at the vocal opposition of parents and siblings) to see if they in fact are ready to begin a lifelong hobby/career of music. My son was like most of the others of that age group, initially interested in playing an instrument as well, so wondering what string instruments entailed I decided to take my questions and concerns to RECKS at the suggestion of another parent. When I entered the store I was warmly welcomed and asked if I needed help. When I explained my mission, not only was their rental polliscy explained to me but I was also shown various instruments that my son might be interested in and the clerk patiently reminded me of the information I had originally learned in "music 101" so many years ago. Though my eldest did not choose to play a string instrument after all I was (and am ) impressed with RECKS and all they have to offer...and since I have a younger son quickly nearing the age of "string instruments", I expect I once again will seek out RECKS for informaiton and guidance. I suggest you do the same.....they are honest, friendly and fair priced.....a "10" in this mom's book! more
