The Bagman of Lancre Morris Men says:"It's difficult to find quality folk instruments even at gatherings but John has been able to supply us with good quality, in good time at a good price.  There is certainly no waiting for 3-4 weeks only to be offered cheap imports." 

Mrs I Jameson says:

"I am an absolute novice when it comes to anything other than listening to music, but thanks to you my son  was delighted with the guitar you recommended.  His tutor is very pleased with his progress on an instrument he finds comfortable to hold and play."

Barry Smith says:

"Thanks for the assistance and advice."

John Stevens says:

"I don't get into Durham City all that often, but I'll certainly make a point of visiting your store at every chance I get.  Thank you for supplying me with a very nice instrument and all the advice you gave me."

Bob from Durham says:

"As a complete novice, I was grateful for the help and advice you gave me.  It was nice to be treated as an intelligent person seeking help to improve my playing rather than the normal attitude of other stores that I would buy any old junk to try and sound better."

Matt from Ceilidhography says:

"I certainly remember how convenient it was to be able to drop into Durham Market from the University Music Dept. and pick up reeds for my clarinet during my lunch break.  It was certainly quicker than a long bus ride to a neighbouring city and finding out that the member of staff who'd said they were in stock didn't really exist when the boxes were found to be empty."

"Darren T" says:

"I was sending home for my parents to buy me my fave strings until  I saw you in  the market.  Now I'm not only saving the cost of postage but the strings are cheaper as well. Thanx man."

Jim Cooper says:

"A great choice of instruments presented in that inimitable Northern style."

Maureen Watson says:

"I am delighted with the starter guitar I bought from you, my husband is now listening to me play instead of threatening to leave home. I'm sure you'll be just as helpful when I out grow it and think about buying a better one"
