Michael Copeland - Hawaii

"Miles, Thanks so much for the horn, the personal call of assurance and the rebate! I am just back to Hawaii and will be able to put some time into getting acquainted with this animal. Thanks so much for the freedom of being able to try out a wide variety of instrument! (The copper neck was especially surprising!) After being in several other stores, yours was by far the best selection available and after traveling so far, it was indeed a welcome sight. I was really surprised by my choice, having heard of the brand but not putting it on the list as a candidate. I was expecting to purchase a Yamaha Custom Z or some comparable level, after comparing at your shop, I realized what those lacked in character the Mauriat had plenty to give. Thanks so much for making a major decision easy and comfortable. Mike Copeland"

Emilio Castillo - Tower of Power

"“An audible gasp went through the crowd as they watched my sax topple over off of its sax stand. The horn was really messed up and I had a clinic, a rehearsal, a soundcheck, and a gig in Danville, KY the next day. We got on the bus for an all night drive and made some calls and we were directed to Aaron Kinman, a great Sax repairman in Louisville, KY at Miles Ahead Music. He not only fixed the horn in time for the next days work, but it played even better than before. These people took wonderful care of me and were kind and courteous as well. I highly recommend them to anyone in need. Just plain great people and excellent work.” Emilio Castillo – Bandleader for Tower of Power"

Dale Schmidt - Louisville/Indianapolis Musician

"I am a semi-professional musician as well as a professional civil engineer who has been playing Brass for over 50 years. I am Degreed from a fine Music School in Tennessee and a fine Engineering School in Indiana. I have played in various groups on Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone and Euphonium in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. In many circles I am known as "Bourbon City". I have done business with Miles for many years. He is a Gentleman among all Gentlemen. He is a very fine musician himself. The repair department is among the best I've ever used. I have friends from Indianapolis that only use Miles for repairs and adjustments on their woodwinds. Their Brass technician is the best I have used...period. Their Sales Department know their stuff and if they don't have it in stock they can get it quickly and at a fair price. Don't be fooled by internet prices. Call Miles Ahead. I'll being doing business with Miles for many years to come. Dale Schmidt, P.E."
