My experience with Lighthouse Music Services has just been exceptional. Fred Sullivan has a tremendous amount of experience in the musical instrument servicing business. He knows the instruments he has to offer, and he goes out of his way to make sure you are presented with the best options in your price range. Not only did I purchase a new Antigua Winds saxophone for my son, but I also decided to upgrade to a new Trevor James flute personally. In addition, I found that Fred's prices on sheet music, reeds and instrument accessories are very reasonable compared with other dealers in town.
Fred really knows his saxophones. He gave us a wealth of information about our purchase, and my son couldn't be happier with his new horn. I have no doubt that we saved a substantial amount of money in buying from Lighthouse Music. I had "sticker shock" as I wandered into some of the other local stores to compare prices on saxes.
I have been playing the flute for almost 30 years, and for about the last 25 had been playing a very nice solid silver, open hole, intermediate flute. It was time for a renovation, and I decided that buying a new instrument was the best way to go. I ultimately bought a Trevor James Virtuoso II from Fred - because I trust his quality service, and I truly believe the Trevor James flute projects the best, it is the most balanced flute, it has exceptional key action, and it has superb intonation.
In this price range, the Trevor James Virtuoso II with the E mechanism and C# trill was clearly the best choice for me. To get a better instrument, I believe you would need to spend several hundred dollars more. The flute world is clearly sold on Trevor James. Try one yourself, and I think you'll be amazed with the sound and the quality. Lighthouse Music is the only store in town that has the license to sell them, and you're in good hands with Fred!
