New advertiser: Centsible Sounds

As you all probably know by now, our goal at PartTimeMusician.com is to make it the best resource available to PTMs everywhere. We don’t do it for the vast wealth that running a website for part-time musicians provides – okay, stop laughing out there! – but we do hope to at least cover the expenses associated with providing fun and useful content for the PTM family. To help with this, we accept advertisers…but we even do that a bit differently than most sites.

We consider any advice we might offer as among family, and just as we wouldn’t want to recommend a bad mechanic to our dear Uncle Bob, we don’t want to steer you wrong, either. With that in mind, we only accept advertisements from people and companies with whom we’ve had, and continue to have, good dealings. Centsible Sounds is a great example.

A couple of years ago, we were looking for a new violin to upgrade one of our existing ones, and someone referred me to Centsible Sounds. I had just come off of a bad experience with a local shop, and I was willing to look at other options.

After talking with the good folks at Centsible Sounds, they had a pretty good idea of the instrument we wanted. They shipped us two very nice violins for evaluation – violins that outshone the numerous others we had evaluated from local shops. Their pricing was extremely attractive, and they seemed knowledgeable and genuinely interested in getting us the right instrument for us.

I can’t tell you how impressed I was with the entire operation. After selecting the better of the two violins, we returned the other and completed our purchase. Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and to this day we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We hope to buy a new viola soon, and when we do, Centsible Sounds will be our first (and very likely our last!) stop.

Vince and Marie Roberts own and operate Centsible Sounds, and they are a pleasure to deal with. They provide a level of service a “big box” instrument vendor can’t, with prices and quality that would embarrass your local instrument shop. For fine stringed instruments, they are your “local shop at a distance”. Check them out!

All of the advertisers in the right sidebar are your advertisers, so please let us know what you think…and please support them when you can. After all, many of them are PTMs, too.
