Re: has anyone heard of...
Hi..I looked at tehir web site just now and I have heard of them..I looked at their website and emailed them awhile back....I am going to call them. Their prices are great..they sound great..lets hope they are great! Now I am remebering..I also contacted another company..I found them in a New York magazine..Long Island something,,maybe ensembles..but havent heard back from them yet either. Sonic Strings is looking really good!!Im going call tehm right now. YEA!!
Re: has anyone heard of...
Hi! Its me again. I called and she is very nice. They are sending me out a demo tape and we discussed what they would play..I told her that I had emailed them ahwile back and never heard from them..she just apologized..she said she doesnt do the emails..but anyhow..now I know to just call them. I am hoping someone on here as used them and liked them, because their price really is good..if I like their demo, I will probably just book them. They play 30 minutes before the cermony and of course for the cermony..Ill let ya know when I get the demo..I hope it works out for both of us!! Good luck!
Re: has anyone heard of...

Re: has anyone heard of...
i would only need them for the ceremony. thanks for the info. did they give you any references that you can call? i dont know of any one who has used them.
Re: has anyone heard of...
No..unfortunately I forgot to ask them for references..actually I didnt even think of it..I wish I did. That search from 01 said tehy were god, but how do we really knwo. I may do the knot for Long Island and see if anyone on there has used tehm. Ill let ya know what I find out!

Re: has anyone heard of...
WOW!! I was just lloking around and didnt hear anything bad about them...maybe that really si a mix up..if the price is right..man..I dont know..maybe wait a few days..tell her yoru concern, tell her you were prepared to not go with them anymore..see what she says..maybe she'll discount...that'd be nice! I read on teh knot about a lady who does 2 violins and a cello for 350..tahts a NICE price too!!
Re: has anyone heard of...
sterling quoted me $600 for a string trio for 1 hour. and a lot more people have given me recs for them. but sonic strings is $480 for a quartet! what a dilema. normally i would go for the cheaper option, but i feel really bad that there was a mix up!
Re: has anyone heard of...
Boy this is tough!! Did sterling have your number? Could they have called you? It seems taht it was their responsibility to contact you..but maybe Im worng..if youve heard good things about them..thats important too. Sonic strings is cheaper, especially if we still have to tip on top of it. Dont you feel bad because there is amix up. So they sent you this through the mail and she said they had the wrong zip? Gosh..I dont know..this is atough decision. I dont want to tell you the wrong thing..maybe post on here and see what everyone elses advice is..
Re: has anyone heard of...
Would sonic string charge you travel fees..is yoru ceremony site within their 30 miles? because if they arent, then they are 30 cents per musician per mile..so that could all add up and then maybe they wouldnt seem like such a great deal. Im just wondering why if the contract was stuck in teh mail..she KNEW she sent you a contract..why didnt she contact you to make sure everything was ok? Then you could have straigthened this out ...
Re: has anyone heard of...
I have to get off of here for now..but I wanted to wish you the best of luck in what you decide..maybe take a few days to think about it..it took them long enough to get the contract to you..you can take all the time you need to be sure they are right for you. Ill be back on tonight...so let me know how ya do!!
