Exclusive selection: The top 8 music shops of Bay Harbor Islands

Our experience with This Songs For You was awesome. We wanted a song for my husband for Father’s Day as a special gift. What can you give a guy who asks for nothing and gives so much? His own song- written for him and performed by his daughter. They were so easy to work with, so supportive and open to our changes and requests. Their process of interview questions made it easy for them to write a song that was perfectly tailored to my husband. They gave us the sheet music and a recording so our daughter could learn to play and sing the song. He absolutely loved it. We will be using them again – I think this is going to be my go to gift going forward for those special to me. Thank you for making it fun too! 🙂

Amazing team of songwriters, producers nd musicians!! Highly recommend them!!!!

They’re such great musicians! I’ve had personal experience with them when it comes to their original songs, and I really enjoyed it.

At the beginning of the summer, my son and I were looking for a guitar store, as he wanted to buy his first guitar.

We are so grateful we went to The Guitar Nook. Johnny guided us through the process of selecting the most convenient guitar for my son, (taking into consideration his height, previous experience, our budget and the kind guitar he was looking for) and now my son has not only a new guitar, but a fantastic guitar teacher that works wonderfully with kids, very knowledgeable, patient and empathetic…a person that teaches from respect and peace. Johnny makes it look so easy, yet his lessons are very complete, and he does a great job involving the students in the process of their own learning, as he includes their particular music preferences to create customized classes for them, and also he integrates other instruments knowledge that the students may have, to make parallel references and reaffirm the new concepts he is introducing.

If you like guitars, The Guitar Nook is your place. There’s guitars of all shapes, colors and types. Repairs are done also if you need it.

If you want to learn to play the guitar, I guarantee you will love it! I recommend this place a 100%. We love it!!!

Awesome place!

Stopped by with my brother and had a great experience, he was allowed to play guitar for a little while and ended up purchasing some accessories. The owner was pretty cool ad well, definitely recommend stopping by

Best guitar setup I’ve ever had! I brought in one of my guitars which had a severe case of “Floyd Rose-itis,” the bridge was off and it just wouldn’t stay in tune no matter what I did. Johnny got it perfectly back in tune and intonated. The Floyd Rose bridge is now positioned perfectly to the body and I’ve been playing it for a day, dive bombs and all, and it’s just rock solid and tuned to perfection. He did a superb job; a total pro at what he does. If you need a setup done, this is THE place to go. Thanks Johnny for all your help!

3 stars because it’s mostly a Fender shop, small, cozy, nice, but Fender

Much better than Guitar Center. But unfortunately they don’t repair amplifiers.

Use to fix all my guitars there, and buy guitar accessories plus many guitar lessons for my son. I referred many people there and my son did too. Until one day I trusted their judgment on an electric guitar case by Fender. It broke in less than a week and now it’s still falling apart. I went for an exchange; the answer: “Sales are final” -showing me the sign. “Contact Fender, that’s not our problem now” I tried to contact Fender, no answer so far. I tried to help their small local businesses; now I buy online!

Absoluterly terrible guitar tech… Hired him to re-work the sottering on my guitar. I showed him the back open so that he could have a solid idea of how difficult it would be and that no surprises would show up. First we agreed on $40 cash (which is not only more expensive than guitarcenter but I would assume he wanted cash so that he could avoid the owners cut). He said that he would call me in two days max… I called the third day and said that it was $50. Also said that the guitar was done yesterday and so I went to pick it up. He shows that the potentiometer (volume knob) wasn’t working and that he didn’t really check it…. after suttering the electronics… Anyway he says that he’ll work on it and the day after I pick up the guitar (without the old potentiometer) and once I start recording with it, the know feels super loose… low and behold the picture provided…
Listen I love competition and its the main reason why I went here. But do yourself a favor and avoid the guitar tech….

One sales rep was extremely dismissive.

I gave them a second chance with a repair. The second rep was nicer, but misquoted me on the repair at a very low price. After doing the work, he told me it was more.

He compromised.

Unfortunately, the work (saddle/intonation set) was done without glueing the saddle at all, so it was never actually set, the work was never actually done. I basically got a glorified string change.

All of our kids love Max. Some have skill. Some have the talent to teach. Others can motivate. Max has all of the above! Recommend highly!

He is an awesome, nice teacher! A professional at piano. He has helped me a lot! Highly recommend to get lessons from him to increase your skills!

Max is a great teacher; subtly motivating without being pushy and adaptive to individual learning styles and tastes. Always bringing calm and positive vibes. He’s the piano sensei.
