“Whether you are spending $10 or $10,000, you will always be treated with respect and honesty by Tim Barnes. He is an expert in his field, a knowledgeable guide for buying an instrument and a wizard for necessary repairs. For more than ten years, he has been guiding me and my students in the buying and renting of instruments. It gives me great pleasure to recommend him to you.” — Laurice Campbell Buckton; Artist in Residence at Bak Middle School of the Arts
