As someone just starting out, I was pretty intimidated, but Ryan was incredibly welcoming and patient. He helped me pick out the perfect first acoustic guitar and didn't try to upsell me on anything I didn't need. This is what a local music shop should be. A true gem in New Milford!

brought in my vintage Telecaster for a setup and some amp repair, and Ryan did an incredible job. The attention to detail was amazing, and my gear has never sounded better. Professional, fast, and fair pricing. Highly recommend his tech services.

More than just a store, Strings & Things is becoming a real hub for local musicians. Ryan has created such a cool, welcoming culture. It's the kind of place you can just stop in to talk shop, try out a new pedal, and feel like part of a community.

The student rental program here is fantastic. We got my daughter set up with a great quality violin for her school music program. The process was super easy, and Ryan was so helpful. So glad to have a local option for this!
