Sara St John: Henry is the real deal for anything regarding violins.

Solveig Gaines: I have had several great repairs done here throughout the years. New neck,fingerboard, bridge, new pegs and I bought a shoulder pad here that lasted 20 plus years. I came with one of my students to see if she can go from half size to full size. The assistant was honest and said she really should get a 3/4 size. In the last year I had 2 students who went from renting here to purchasing 2 beautiful violins. One of the violins is much better than mine and they really didn’t pay that much for it. I am now considering selling mine and buying a new one from them.

Patricia Erkan: Wonderfully friendly people and great service!

calvin glomstad: After searching the Puget Sound north and south I discovered the answer to my desperate search was right in my town.Eric at Gig Harbor Audio did not hesitate a second when I asked if they worked on Bang and Olufsen equipment. His response was “We specialize in it.”Obviously, they do. My Beogram 4002 turntable was in need of some expertise beyond my own. Eric kept me updated on the repair progressas his tech crew diagnosed the problem. He even sent me a video of its performance after repaired.This shop is truly a local gem but would be well worth any drive knowing that your treasured vintage audio components will be handled by professionals that treat you like you are the most important customer. Prices are very fair. That coupled with great customer service will make you glad you discovered this jewel of a business.The ever changing showroom of incredible audio gear ain’t bad to visit either.

Leilani Mutu: Came across this diamond in the rough. Recently moved to the area from the east coast and was extremely surprised to find a great selection of albums that were in pristine condition for a price that almost had me rushing the transaction because it seemed to good to be true. The reality is this, no gimmicks, just good-old fashioned customer relationships between buyer and seller. I hope no one finds this place so I can keep coming back as soon as I re-up! Thanks for being real Erik, I truly appreciate the experience!

Cindy Schumacher: Just moved to Gig Harbor from CO and needed a knowledgable place to wall mount a number of TVs including Soundbars and set up a meshed network. Jonathan and Erik did not disappoint. They did what they said they would do and when they said they would do it. The configuration is exactly what I was looking for and everything works as intended. I am so glad I was able to find a local firm that is top notch. I am now finalizing having them replace my existing window coverings with Lutron automated blinds. Gig Harbor Audio will definitely be my goto going forward. These guys are fantastic and highly recommend.

Seth Young: Erik at Gig Harbor Audio facilitated an Audiogon sale between myself and another customer. At the time of the sale, both the other customer and myself were out of the country but Erik helped us complete our transaction and afterwards, assisted me with getting additional items I was looking for AND shipping everything from the Tacoma area to the Chicago area. Everything was accomplished via e-mail and phone. Erik was on top of every step and honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this interaction. So locally or nationally, I highly recommend Erik and Gig Harbor Audio.
