Anthony Longano
Hi! My name is Anthony Longano, and I am happy to be your personal Sales Engineer here at Sweetwater. I take my position quite seriously, and I consider it a great honor to be working for you. I strive to be different than your typical “Sales Guy” because I actually hate salespeople. My goal is to answer all your questions and get you what you need the first time. As a previous touring musician, underground studio owner, and professional audio engineer, I am more than happy to share my experience in order to help you make the right purchase. You are more than welcome to contact me at any time.
I am mainly a mixing and mastering engineer (mostly in the metal genre), but I also specialize in higher-end studio builds, acoustic treatment, patchbays, large-format consoles, and live sound rigs.
As your personal contact here at Sweetwater, please let me know anytime I can offer help or advice.

Interview with Anthony...

Anthony Longano was very pleasant and did a great job. Thanks for running a great business and I pray that God continues to bless your business and hard work. I placed an order for a small item a week or so ago and the service I received needs to be acknowledged. It was fantastic! You would have thought I spent a thousand dollars or more. Great customer service is always difficult to achieve because every person has to buy into the philosophy that no one is going to be better [in our industry] than we are at customer service, and if I was a betting person, I would bet that that is your philosophy. It was' five minutes after I placed my order that I got a phone call to confirm and thank me for placing the order. Very professional and not pushy. huge points!

Well I have to preface this with the statement that I do not do a very good job expressing myself in writing. That being said, I am absolutely blown away by my whole sweetwater experience. Anthony Longano has been an absolutely standup guy when I have had questions and most importantly, he has not tried to sell me anything that I did not want. He has done an excellent job trying to gleane from me what I actually wanted and then had some stellar recommendations. I have never bought an actual musical instrument online before and let me tell you that I was really apprehensive as to what I should expect. I have always bought musical instruments from the same music store my whole life, because they know me on a first name basis and I trust them completely. Anthony has absolutely made me feel like he cares about my purchases and made me feel completely comfortable in my dealings with sweetwater. I want to thank you all for running a music store that actually has people I can talk to that know what they are talking about. Thank you and for what its worth, you guys have one more lifetime customer.

Anthony Longano is my sales engineer, and he, as usual, did a fantastic job advising me over multiple phone chats about different gear options for my needs. Ever patient, he withstood all my interrogation with great aplomb. He's a very valuable member to any team. Great work, Anthony!

I have been buying at Sweetwater with Anthony Longato as my sales rep for quite a few years now and he has been great. If I need information about a product or questions about what products I need to accomplish what I am doing he always goes above and beyond to help me I couldn't be happier with the service Anthony provides. My granddaughter loves the bags of candy you always put in my order. In all the years that I have purchased from Sweetwater I have never received a shipment that had to be sent back. Thanks Anthony and Sweetwater.
