He repaired a keyboard for me. Same day actually. That is ideal, but I would have waited a day or two for good certified repair. Also I am newer to the area so I did not have my go-to like I did in Daytona Beach, so it was good to find a reliable person in a new town.
Steve is a great luthier. I have a Martin acoustic that had several issues including the bridge needing to be reset. My guitar now plays better than ever. If you need any work done to a guitar this is the place to go. 10/10 would recommend.

A lot of instrument and accessories. Knowledgeable personnel.
They are very friendly and knowledgeable and willing to help with any problem you have. If they don’t have a solution they will do what they can to find it. They let you try instruments with no issue and give good input when needed. I’ve been going here for almost 10 years now and I love them!
LOVE THESE GUYS!!!! I’ve been coming to them for years. They always have everything I need when it comes to supplies. Great selection of sheet music, including method books and music for FBA Solo and Ensemble. I’ve bought two professional level instruments from them (Bb Clarinet and Tenor Saxophone). They had a large selection of pro and semi-pro level instruments for me to try from a variety of brands. The buying process was a great experience. I took an instrument that I had bought used elsewhere to them for cleaning, repair, and adjustments. The horn came back to me playing better than it did when I had bought it. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and are extremely good people to work with. AMAZING customer service. Cadence music will continue to earn my business for years to come!!!
They had what we were looking for and easy parking. I found the customer service average; clerks on duty seemed less than motivated to help.
I will say they have made an extrodianary effort to correct the issues we had. They have a fair rent to own program. The only reason I am rating 4 stars is because it did take some time. Overall make sure you are very clear what you want and what you will get
I broke a clarinet and without a problem the next day Cadence Music picked it up and fixed it very fast about 4 days and while it was being fixed I got a loner…GREAT EXPERIENCE
I had my oboe fixed there about a month ago and when I got it back it was still broken and it cost $150 originally for them to do nothing to it, but on the bright side they polished the keys so then it made it look like they actually fixed my instrument
Be Very careful with this company. They charged me for a Rental on a snare drum that i never saw or even asked for. They said they delivered the drum to a Middle school for my son and the school knew nothing about a drum. Cadence then sent me to collections for $800.00, I found out about the drum from the collection company. FRAUD
The owner is extremely rude and the employees are incompetent. I usually go to Mostly Music in North Fort Myers because the owner is nicer and knowledgeable about all instruments. he is not just out to make a quick buck by ripping off students. I am going to try First note in the Cape next because I heard, from a music teacher, they are less expensive and more honest than Cadence.

Dios les bendiga estoy muy satisfecha por sus atención Gracias a todo el personal
Great selection of Guitars. Getting an employee to help not as great.
Really scaled down inventory compared to past visits
Not the same as it used to be. Get in, buy what you need and get out. It’s what you would expect from them now.
Was here with my husband on a Sunday. Waited in line forever. That was fine. The couple in front of us decided to leave the keyboard department and go wait in the line up front. Meanwhile another boy got in line behind us. We finally got checked out and were about to leave when the couple that was in front of us earlier decide to come back and cut in front of the kid behind us and begin yelling at him that they were in front of him before they decided to leave. I was livid at this point. You don’t get to leave the line and then come back later and cut off whoever you want. Shame on the employee that allowed this to happen. Very crappy customer service. The couple is just lucky I’m not the person they cut off.
I would suggest visiting after the pandemic has settle down. We had gone just to look at the instruments but were frequently disrupted by employees that seemed to have wanted us out quickly. It wasn’t the greatest experience.
However, they are open for purchases.
This store is the reason why people buy online. My son and I were inside the store for 45 minutes looking at bass guitars. In that time not one single employee bothered to ask if us if we needed any help. In order to hear a bass guitar it needs to be plugged into an amp. I looked for a cable but could not locate one. I asked an employee who was walking by us for a cable and his response was “All of the cables must be being used right now. I’ll look for one in a few minutes”. That was last we heard from that guy. SERIOUSLY. We are in one of the largest chained music stores in the country and you don’t have enough cables!?!?!!?!? I didn’t even dare ask for a tuner! How in the world do you expect anybody to spend almost $700 on a Fender Jazz bass without being able to hear it? This is the exact reason why I will be giving my business to Sweetwater.
Since everybody shops online these days you would think these big chains would go out of their way to give their customers a positive buying experience. Not the case here.
I am giving 2 stars because if you do need something the same day you could walk in and get it if it is in stock. They do have a big selection of guitars to choose from, but 75% of them are too high to reach and would require the assistance from an employee to get them for you. If I can’t get somebody to give me a cable how the heck am I going to have them get a guitar down from 20 feet above? If I were running this place I would have at least one person dedicated to this area at all times to assist customers. I watched people grabbing guitars off the wall and banging them into the other guitars that are next to them (not on purpose, but accidentally). Irregardless, the guitars are sandwiched together so close that it is going to happen. With that much money invested in inventory one would think that somebody would be in charge of all that merchandise to protect Guitar Center’s investment.
To sum up our experience today, my son got to play several unplugged, out of tune bass guitars and was underwhelmed by the whole experience. So much for trying to get him more excited about picking out his new bass guitar.

Very talented singer and piano player! Hired him for the grand opening of the new community center at our country club. He played a great selection of songs and definately helped to make the event successful!
Tony O played our community Welcome Back event last Saturday. He was very easy to schedule and responsive to my inquiry. He arrived 45 minutes ahead of the start time and set up early. His performance was outstanding. Our community has a wide array of ages and he played a variety of music to serve all. There was a lot of dance tunes for all to enjoy. I highly recommend him for any event. We will be scheduling him again!
I had my 50th party in Naples Florida, I hired Tony O to perform. From the first time I spoke with him it was easy, we picked songs together and he was a big hit at the event. He showed up to check out the location a few days before the party as well. I would highly recommend Tony he is a professional. Oh and he can sing and entertain as well, the crowd loved him.

I have been taking electric guitar lessons with Mr Music for s year and a half now. I love it! Love the people… my teacher and the business!
You seriously need to walk into this place before even CONSIDERING Guitar Center. Better prices. Better customer service. I won’t be giving a single dime to Guitar Center EVER AGAIN! The owner was great to talk to.
Plenty of parking , decent customer service, good selections of instruments , prices not that good, sales rep tried to push sales instead of suggestions.
Came to Ft Myers for an 8 day vacation – My brother has lived in Lee County for 30+ yrs & I have a winter home in Cape Coral. I Researched online for a local music store that would rent an acoustic guitar. (( I just started learning to play the guitar a year ago at age 58 and I thought it’d be nice to do some practicing while in Fla.)) All indications were that Mr Music was the place to go. My brother was going to rent it as web site states they only rent to Lee County residents. They (Mr Music) seemed unprepared for someone coming in off the street wanting to rent an acoustic guitar. The young man that was on duty at the store was Very Nice and I felt bad for him after he got on the phone with someone who told him that I would have to come back several hours later that afternoon (I had plans and late afternoon traffic in Lee County is crazy ) or I could come back 2 days later. I could tell he was embarrassed and as said earlier I felt bad for him. Needless to say, I left w\out a rental guitar. Wm. Griffin \ Lexington Ky.
Nice Place but very pricey… A lot of things you can get on Amazon for way cheaper.
Carl says he’s “reactionary” teacher (no lesson plans). Be prepared to tell the teacher what you need to learn??? 6 lessons and what I learned is how good Carl can play guitar and that it’s a really difficult instrument to learn. What a POS! Dave (the owner) is okay.
Made a HUGE mistake purchasing a digital piano from Mr Music, Inc – Fort Myers. I wanted to support a small local business and I did something I don’t usually do and purchased it without looking the product up online. I figured I would be paying a little more by not buying from a big box store but turns out I paid over DOUBLE!! And the owner is very firm on the no return policy. Do NOT make the same mistake I did. I take responsibility for my lack of research but am disappointed that this small business is ripping people off so bad.
Can’t give zero stars. If you feel like you need to form your own opinion that’s fine. But I can promise you that I never write bad reviews. Take it or leave it.

Wonderful experience. Nice selection of Roland keyboards and pianos. Jay is very knowledgeable and I’m thrilled with my purchase. I highly recommend them.
I moved from out of state and was looking to purchase a new piano. From the moment I walked into Jay and Kay Piano I was treated with the utmost curtesy and was made to feel very confident that this was the correct place for me. Jay answered all my question patiently and even gave me unlimited instructions on how to use my Roland GP609. I couldn’t have been more happy. Great place.
Kip Traffican
I was very pleased with the attention that I received and the demonstration of the organ that I was interested in. I was allowed to play the organ at my convenience(with my organ shoes!) and as long as I wished. I was particularly impressed with David Jozaities’ talent and also his understanding of my needs. I am glad I found Jay & Kay’s!
Great people very helpful highly recommended
This is more of a music school than a music store if that makes sense. Sure, there is some sheet music and instruments for sale, but it’s obvious that they are for the student teacher relationship. The staff guy was pretty nice to me and I got a good vibe of the place though, just not really my cup of tea
Friendly and knowledgeable … good experience!
I’m new to the area being only 4 years in Cape Coral. While our 1st home we built didn’t have room for a Piano. I made sure that our 2nd home we are building now does. With all the shortages of product inventory I decided to buy a Piano now. Being a former business owner I try to buy everything from local companies. I called Jay & Kay by phone I explained exactly what I’ve told you above. I said to Jay I’m picking up a sandwich from Parkway subs and illl be there in 20 minutes. Upon my arrival I entered the store. No greetings. I walked around for about 25 minutes. No one ever approached us. I took a card off their desk and wrote a note. Left my phone number. No one has ever called me.back. That was on 07/26/2021. Not sure why Jay invited us to his showroom with detailed instructions of their location. Waste of time. I drove down to Piano Distributors and then to Nicks Pianos. I was greeted very well by Anthony and Nick at each location. Then I drive to Dave’s Piano’s Tamps area again another professional very knowledgeable as well. I compared the 3. I made my selection and place a deposit on the 60k piano
Don’t bother going to Jay & Kay they don’t need to waste your time
Sadly to say I wanted to buy in my local neighborhood. Support the local businesses after the Covid 19 destruction.
I personally left their business card on the counter and had wrote a note on the back asking them to call me with my phone number on it. Crickets !!!

Friendly, very knowledgeable staff. Fair pricing!!
Great store. Very knowledgeable luthier.
These Guys are great and know what they are doing. My new pick guard has to be custom made but it will be ready tomorrow!!
Great customer service
I went in looking for a guitar. They seem to do most of their business on repair, not sales. They have a couple dozen acoustic guitars of lower quality. Some looked used but were not labeled that way. Guy behind the counter never really took any interest in helping.
I love this place! Always willing to give me a good deal. They have everything! A great experience.
If your pickguard fits, it’ll look great; if there’s any problem, don’t expect a resolution or even an acknowledgement.
Ordered a pickguard, came promptly, liked the look – turns out it didn’t exactly fit the bass, despite serial number being a match for model and year. A “close miss” like this wouldn’t be a dealbreaker in many cases, but in this case, raised chrome parts means the pickguard can’t be installed at all without a proper fit. Over the course of a month, I’ve tried contacting WD through their online return/exchange form, email, and phone+voicemail regarding the problem, and have received no reply whatsoever. I’m open to discussing the issue, covering handling/restocking costs, etc., but the total lack of response is very disheartening and rude. Very disappointed.
What a rippoff this little casino is .
Pickguard arrive with a gouge in it. No damage to packaging bag or delivery box it came in. Itvwas clearly damaged befor packaging. The plastic protective coating was covered with pieces of some kind of debris. It was clearly just cut on the machine and thrown in a bag. No clean up or inspection. Take your money and ship. No reply to my emails. I would never buy from this place again.
