I’m a voice student at RKMI. The atmosphere is very comfortable and relaxed, and the instructors are extremely friendly and personable. If you’re looking for music instruction, this is the place to go to.
Great job to everyone that played in the Dec 9 recital!! It was fun and I loved seeing my fellow performers play their music! Seeing each person’s performance makes me want to learn more and play better.
It is great to see students of all ages and skill levels…it gives me encouragement
Taking lessons with Josh at Ron Kaye’s music is the highlight of my week. Josh is a very knowledgeable person and has made learning an instrument a fun and rewarding hobby. I’ve tried teaching myself the mandolin but quickly felt like I needed lessons when I saw no progression. Thankfully I found Ron Kaye’s.
This place is the pits! They are more interested in making money than teaching the kids how to play an instrument. My son took piano there, but yet was never able to play on a piano – only on an electric keyboard because they don’t want to spend the money to have the piano tuned. Also, he was small and needed to use the bathroom and they refused. We had to take him to a store to use the bathroom. The place is dirty and in an unsafe area. Mr. Kaye is a total jerk and has no people skills. Their recital was a joke. Don’t waste your time – find another music teacher.

Just spoke with the owner, Josama Bin Plottin. He was very informative and made things easy to understand. I trust his methods for generating organic traffic to my music sales pages and all things considered to be on the internet. I recommend if you do music or anything to do with music and need a professional in Pensacola give Muzik Mafia a call. Who else is offering free artist management?? No one… Thanks josama bin plottin I’m looking forward to working with you in the near future.
Joe is the best.

Quick repair today…..clarinet playing high notes only….was adjusted and was able to go back home with it! AWESOME!!
I wish I could review you all every time I come in. It’s an awfully long way for us, especially on a Saturday. Worth every minute of every mile. Knowledgeable, caring, professional, CRAZY fast, perfect repairs, every single time our “antique” sax with the rarest of sweet sounds decides it’s in need of another visit. We’re jamming out in the music room, killing competitions and leading the March again, thanks you.
I’d trust no other with the instrument that brings her to life this way.
With Many Thanx,
Elora’s Mom
Great staff. They have good quality equipment and knowledgeable staff who are also musicians. They go the extra mile.
This is a great shop with friendly staff, but sometimes the wait is too long.
They where vary helpful to use
They said “oh we can’t fix your flute because it is a hunter we don’t work on those
I came to the store looking for some help on purchasing my first violin, I ended up getting snubbed. I was trying to get some general information on purchasing and what I needed, instead I was told at least 3 times how expensive they were. I was deffinetly judged upon walking in the door, as it was I had just returned from a trip and did not feel I needed to dress up to go into a music store. In the end I am glad I had this experience because it allowed me the opportunity to find another business that was actually customer service oriented, and was not judgmental. I am now on my second violin and enjoying every minute of it, no thanks to this store.
Too expensive

Love this place. It has the old record store feel. Tremendous selection. Nice employees. Lps, cds, speciality items, posters. Just like the old days. Reasonably priced.
Great local place. Friendly, knowledgeable laid back staff with a fab selection. Totally recommend!
Love this place!! Especially the customer service.
Nice clean business. Everything in order Sept some CDs are not in the right cases if they are used.
Great selection very neat and clean
Little expensive for used dvds BUT I buy all my VERY hard to find ones here
Very good selection. I enjoy my yearly trip to Pensacola to see the beach and visit this place. Staff is friendly. Good selection but ya gotta hunt
I’m very impressed with the layout of this store. They have more than enough items to view and purchase. The BIGGEST negative this place has going for it are the main reason you would go here- the prices. Man, everything in here overpriced. You are better off getting your CDs on eBay. Their prices are so high that every item wanted to purchase could be found cheaper anywhere else and that’s including the shipping. This place is like 25 years behind the times on pricing. Used CDs should be cheap, not full retail price when they were sealed.
Went to the store during normal business hours and the door was locked. Looked on Facebook and called the store number, there was no indication that they would be closed. I took my lunch break to go browse the store so, I guess I wasted it. The store looks super cool so, I hope I can swing by one day in the future.
I just want to make everyone racism still exist. I do business with a lot of people and I decided to check this one place out called the “Music Box”. I called before even going in. And when I arrived I was questioned about who I spoke with as is it was a no colored sign on the door and one of the jerks behind the counter even told me not to even take my records out because they are not interested and begin to repeat himself while my boyfriend was talking to the other guy who was trying to help. I will never step foot in this store again or even recommend anyone.

Big ups to the guys at Guitar Center Pensacola!!! The customer service and knowledge there is mind blowing. Had to return two guitars that I didn’t purchase at this location and they were so gracious and helpful. Tyler, Tom, and Matt answered all of our questions and got the other items returned with zero issues. They helped my girl get the perfect fit for her first 7 string!!!! Thanks fellas for such a refreshing experience and for setting the bar so high in customer service. You’re the best of the best!
Great experience working with Tom trying to find the right guitar for my wife. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Rocking customer service!
Wonderful customer service! And beautiful selection! Definitely recommend!!
It’s alright. The selection is a little bland and basic but it’s Guitar Center! Don’t mind coming in and checking out what they have just hope in the future they get some better keyboards and drums mainly synthesizers workstations and high end drums like DW Drums and pearl Master series!!!
Good people
If you’re looking to buy any kind of music equipment this is the place you want to look. Not only do they have a ton of different products to choose from, you can actually try out and play most of them right there in the store before paying. It’s really a blast being able to go around and test out different instruments you had always wanted to try. I will say that the prices are pretty steep on most everything in the store, but they are willing to negotiate or match another store’s price. Definitely the place you want to be if you like music, you just have to make sure your wallet is pretty thick.
I used to love Guitar Center in Pensacola. Customer service was terrific, selection was great, and I enjoyed shopping there. I was excited to see it come back after it closed a few years ago. The selection is still great, and the store looks incredible, but the customer service is severely lacking.
No one spoke to me the whole time I was there, which is fine, but still not typical of a place like Guitar Center. I went to check out and there were about four employees standing around talking. I had to get the attention of one of them so I could check out. The cashier (His name was Clark according to the receipt) was very cold, and acted like the whole process of ringing up my purchase was a major inconvenience for him. He asked me for my name, which I told him I preferred not to provide since I typically elect not to share personal information when I make purchases, and he passive aggressively slammed on the keyboard before informing me “Well I have to put something”. Furthermore, when I was putting my credit card in the reader to pay, without saying anything, he walked away from the counter to talk to another customer, while there were three people standing behind him who could have done it since he was in the middle of checking me out. I had to flag him down and get his attention to get a receipt. Maybe he was having a bad day or something, but still. This is not a way to treat paying customers. It shows a lack of professionalism and respect for customers. I will probably utilize other music stores like Leitz Music or Blues Angel from now on.
Horrible expercience , first off ive been going there every single day playing a mandolin thr mandolin strings are junk over wrapped on pegs. I asked 5 days straight id they would change strings for me so i can hear it. It was excuse after excuse.
Theres a long haired kid in there couldnt be more of wanna be , guitar douche to the max!!!!!
This place is for monkey go support real music stores. People here dont get paid enough to care apparently.
Negative 5 starts!
I’ve ordered my grandson a guitar 3 times. After a week I get an email saying that I canceled the order which I did not. Today I’ve been on hold 45 minutes with the verification department. What BS . My grandson probably thinks I’m just senile.

They have all types of little unique things here !! Id definitely shop again, they have good selling prices and products. Its so affordable !! And the owners are sweet little angles. Every time i come into the store they are so charming to me. They have a little bit of everything which i LOVE about this shop. I definitely recommend coming here and shopping !!
Wonderful place. The owner is very nice and helpful and there is no shortage of stuff to plunder through. Good prices too!
Really worked my but off to get this place suitable enough for customer to enjoy there shopping experience here this place has come along way and for them to wash and dry the stuff before they put it on the shelf is the best idea ever … Happy shopping hopes to see you there grand opening is set for February 1 2021
Lots of good stuff. They have moved from the Miles Building . They are on Mobile Hwy now.
Quite a bit in the little shop . Prices aren’t bad .
Online pictures looked promising. However, when I tried to go at 10:30 on Saturday morning they were closed, though their hours online and on the door say 9-5. Hopefully I can visit one day when they are open during posted business hours.
