I would like to write a few lines thanking all of our customers for a wonderful 2009. In a year filled with bad news, bad finances and bad attitudes, Stacy’s Music experienced a wonderful year. We met many new students ready and willing to learn a new instrument, we reconnected with many old customers who are getting back into music making, and enjoyed speaking with our weekly customers who choose Stacy’s Music as their music store of choice. I, on many occasions, enjoyed talking with some of our students parents, not only about their kid’s music education, but just life and business in general. In my 18 years of working here I have never before had the feeling of community that I do now. I learned that the people of Charlottesville (and surrounding areas) love their music. They take it seriously and appreciate shopping at a place that is just as serious about nurturing relationships as they are about their music. I love what I do and work hard to make Stacy’s Music a place where you can learn, play and create music and I appreciate everyone who takes notice.
So in short I would like to say thank you. Thank you to all the parents for bringing your kids in to take lessons here. Thank you to all the musicians for choosing us over anyone else or home delivery. Thank you to everyone who walked through our door to ask a question. I thank you all and hope you have a wonderful 2010. Let’s make it loud!

How to clean your frets

Filed under Best of..., Featured, Stacy's Tips and Tricks
So you haven’t changed your strings in a year and your once beautiful shiny frets now have a dingy green tint to them. You wipe and wipe but nothing happens. Here is a simple trick to get those frets back to their original shine. (Note: This tip is not recommended for maple and finished fret boards.)
Take a piece of #0000 steel wool (not sandpaper) and run it up and down the fret board until your frets shine. Take care to cover your pickups and any electronics with masking tape…steel wool can wreck your electronics. If your fret board is really dirty you can steel wool across the frets, but because this is against the grain of the wood, you will need to go back over the whole neck again, with the grain, once you are finished. Now is a really great time to condition your fret board with lem-oil or other conditioning product.
Perform this every other string change, and your frets will always look like new. Play on!
