The reasons that I choose Johnson's whenever I need any string accessories, music, or repairs, are many... a professional, knowledgeable, warm, and caring staff who know how to best serve any musician that comes through their doors- be they freelance professional players or four year old beginners in their first year of instruction. I would also mention a first rate selection of materials and instruments and quality repair service. Finally, I have been a customer of Johnson Strings since they first opened their doors!
