I am so pleased with this company from the very beginning on how they communicate with their potential customer and up to delivering my piano. They are very professional! I wouldn’t use anyone else but them for sure!
Had a fantastic experience at Tadlock Piano. Jason and Christy were so knowledgeable and helped me pick the right piano for me. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone!
Great selection & fantastic people!
They charged a church a couple hundred dollars to come out and fix a problem with a warranty covered instrument, and still didn’t fix the issue. Couple hundred dollars just to say, “sorry, we don’t know what’s going on and can’t help you”. If you can’t fix the issue with an organ/piano you sold, you don’t charge them then, especially if it’s warranty covered!

Lots of roaches in the bathroom and right outside the bathroom,the roaches scattered. They need to hire an exterminator and more help. But the cashiers were very friendly.
Slowest service ever. Stand in line for 20 to 25 minutes. 1 cashier with 12 people waiting.

We are from out of town and had a request from our granddaughter for a cookie cake to celebrate her birthday. I knew this was short notice, but the employees in the bakery said it wasn’t a problem and made us a very nice looking and delicious cookie cake and sent me a text telling me it was ready for pick up! Thanks for awesome service!
Really huge
Too cramped one way in and out pain in the @^#
Good place to shop a bit slack on there frozen pizza selection

Walmart is getting awful they never have enough disability carts its not disability friendly. You have to wait forever to get a cart then the lines are ridiculously long and the wait through the lines are ridiculous the no cash at the self check out is crazy it backs up the lines I am taking my money out of Walmart
The employees at this Walmart are very rude. Be smart and take your business somewhere else….

Address: 508 Harrison Ave, Panama City, FL 32401 , Callaway , Florida , United States
I was told there wasn’t any places in our area that carried a wide selectiion of music accessories. Well, I found Leitz Music on accident. I was looking for a Dunlop Cry Baby Wah Pedal. I called and staff was beyond helpful not to mention their prices! They have a wide selection of almost everything from acoustic guitars, bass, drums and even a wide range of effect guitar pedals. These guys know their stuff! I thank god I was in a rush to pick up my daughter from school 40 miles from their location and I got a flat tire as soon as I pulled up to their store , if not because of that I would have stayed a few hours playing around with stuff and spending a lot more! Great knowledgeable staff, great wide selection of items and unbelievable prices! Thanks guys for coming through for me! Bulls On Parade sounds awesome with that wah pedal. :o)
I wouldn’t take my guitars to anybody but Mark..
Really cool shop with demo rooms and helpful staff.
Gemini AS211SP for the price it’s awesome. It’s all you need for around the house or jamming with your buds. I sincerely recommend this little gem. For the price you can’t go wrong.
I have been visiting this store for years. It has been a must stop when in Panama City. I stopped in today and found the usual great selection of instruments and accessories. I played a nice Fender P Bass today and practiced for the first time 4 new contemporary Christian tunes I will be playing at my home church next weekend. The store was not busy and I didn’t see anybody wanting to get where I was playing. I was shocked when after the second time through my 4 songs I was asked if I was going to buy the bass I was playing. I said no explaining I was playing these songs for the first time in preparation for next weekends service. I was asked to stop playing to make room for other customers. So I stopped playing and purchased a pack of music flash cards, which I found when walking through the store. I mentioned to the guy that asked me to stop playing that I play like this at Sam Ash and Guitar Center stores across the country and they welcome me coming in to play and I have never been asked to stop playing until today. Having bought a guitar, mixer, speakers and other accessories here before, I left the store wondering if I will return again after today’s experience in the not busy store.
Every time I walk in its hard to get help. the guys look stoned behind the counter. They obviously are not trained to interact with customers that walk in. So I’ve walked out three times and nobody bats an eye…. there goes money out the door.
Called to ask if they had two common guitar items in stock, and was promptly told they do not carry those items. Stopped by an hour later to find they did have them in stock. While brousing the store more than half of thier merchandise is packed up (bare shelves), and I was instructed by the staff not to touch anything I was not going to buy.
Unacceptable Service! It seems as if they just rather be closed, and don’t want any one comming in to shop. Ridiculous.
Went to buy a guitar here. Wasn’t much selection but I still found a few I was interested in. Waited over 30 minutes to try to test them out and somebody decided to use the test room as a practice room. Sign says 5 minutes but they were playing the same guitar the entire time. I ran out of time and had to leave. Ordered guitar online instead. Would have preferred to buy local but they didn’t seem to care that somebody was trying to buy a new guitar and amp.

I had an amazing first impression days ago, but today was all the contrary.
They make me feel really bad as a person.
Never judge a book by its cover.
Local favorite. Been there as long as I can remember. Never been inside but had my share of poor boy window shopping dreams.
Do not pick out an instrument on their so called rent to own plan if you are picky about that exact instrument They were supposed to fix a sticky tenon and instead gave my daughter a diff instrument that she disliked. I tried to get a response via email and they did not get back to me so I called and was told that I could not get back the original. I was contacted by the store after much hassle and then spoken to like a non musician and given back the flute without them doing anything about the sticky tenon! Only go here if you are wanting to try beginner instruments!
Accounting department is lacking. Starting with their company rep incorrectly completing Rental Agreement, billing errors (which I called to correct), followed by their text messages threatening repossession without the courtesy of a phone call has led yo more headache than it’s worth.
I have called Lamar’s person # that was given. me by the school Numerous times, as if this date, I have not received any form of response. Initially we went to band night ordered starter kit. Finally ended up going to Metro Music. They were very helpful. I now have everthing needed.
So bad my child had to experience a bad start to something that is so wonderful . Go to Metro Music, or their other affiliates, you’ll be happier.
I’ve had a few dealings with this establishment over the past 10 years and overall am not very happy. The first time, I had them refurbish my wife’s mid-level flute, which I believe they contracted out to another location in the FL panhandle. The service rendered it playable again, but the technician scratched the silver in a few places. More recently we rented a French horn from them for my son. After a year, they would aggressively solicit us by phone and text to upgrade the rental to a nicer horn (at a rate of over $150/month). They continuously addressed me by the wrong surname and/or salutation even after I offered corrections. Furthermore, they mislead my wife and I about the credit we would acquire through rental towards the potential purchase of an instrument. This benefit is extremely limited and restrictive! The guys working in the shop were nice and helpful, so I have to believe that all of this is really an issue with management/ownership. That said, I can’t recommend them as a good music store.
Update: Thank you for your response. Just to clarify, I understand the cost of these instruments quite well. My wife and I just do not feel like a 7th grader is worthy of an instrument that retails for roughly $5-6k and felt that the sales calls were far too pushy. With regard to the flute incident, this happened many years ago, and I did reach out to you by phone. I was transferred to the repair technician, who explained that the cause of the damage was difficulty in disassembling the keys. No offer was made to polish or repair the scratches at that time, and I’m not even sure if this could be realistically done.
Was absolutely amazing…all of the guests talked about how good he sounded, got my CD!
Chris, everyone is still raving about you! Thanks for being professional and easy to work with.
We highly recommend Chris!
I hired Chris to play cocktail hour at my wedding and his performance really elevated the ambiance. All of the guests were talking about how incredible the “saxophone guy” was and how he really set off the event. Chris is an incredibly talented musician and is extremely professional from beginning to end. I highly recommend Chris and will recommend him to anyone looking for a musician that will up-level the atmosphere of any event!

Awesome music shop with a ton of great instruments, equipment and really unique albums. The owner was super cool, engaging and knowledgeable. Great place to stop in for a visit, grab a gift for a music lover, or to find a unique guitar, drum set or banjo for yourself!
cool store, very nice staff
Staff was really helpful and nice. They have drums, guitars, and basses along with tons of other equipment. Lots of cd’s, vinyl’s, and cassette’s. Also A great place for band t shirts.

The owner and employee’s are AMAZING, Its more about the customer than money.
The folks that run Fine Arts at the Beach are as kind and genuine as they come. It’s definitely the place to go in Panama City for lessons or gear.
I was very impressed by the customer service and quality of products. Give them a visit if you get the chance!
I finally decided to stop in just to check out the store and I was amazed. There are all kinds of great instruments at RIDICULOUSLY low prices. There are music lessons and you can even rent an instrument. By far the best musical store in the panhandle. Anyone interested in music should definitely check this place out.
Good selection of instruments and knowledgeable staff. It is a nice touch that they are involved in the local community as well.
Nice little place, but somewhat disorganized. Nice folks, lacking on the communication side. Lessons are good!
Needs variety
Went in to purchase strings, was charged double the price for them. Next time I will get them online, put a end to that kind of crazy happening again.
I used to go before the ownership change to have my violin serviced. I went to the counter and talked to Seth and I left wanting to cry. When I opened my case he picked up my violin then out of the blue asked if I wanted him to take off the finger tape. He said he didn’t like his students using it since it was a crutch. I said no thanks I like having it and he said “oh… ok” in a very judging and condescending tone. He then asked how much I paid for it (super disrespectful and unnecessary?) and when I told him he scoffed and said he wouldn’t have paid half of that. He then proceeded to turn over my violin and point out every imperfection (something about the bridge being too high, fingerboard not angled properly, and spots of varnish). He said it looked “haphazard” and was shocked I paid that. This was a violin I’ve had for years, absolutely love, and that my parents worked hard to afford. I was too shell shocked to take the violin back from him and leave, and after all the insults Seth said “it seems fine you don’t need service” then asked if I wanted lessons from him. The audacity?? At least he didn’t try to sell me stuff I suppose. I know this is a small business and I hate to not show support but like I said before I left in tears and with a horrible experience. I can’t recommend this store and especially not Seth for your classical instrument needs. I don’t understand how anyone can stand him for a lesson, I’ve never met a more condescending person in the customer service industry.

Fair, friendly, and super clean. Very easy to do business with. I was treated with respect and truly appreciate their service.
Great to do business with they give you great deals and a little more money than others when you make a pawn with them would definitely do business again with Alamo
Always professional and provide great customer service.
Their prices are a bit high, but that is to be expected considering that it’s a pawn shop. The staff isn’t overly friendly, but they aren’t rude either. They come off as eager to make a sale, but their salesmanship leaves much to be desired.
Nice atmosphere when you enter. Very friendly. Prices are too high or I’d give a 5… but selection of tools is better than most pawn around panama city. I saw a few things I’d like to own if they were more reasonable and a few things that were expensive but well worth the price if I were looking for then so it’s a trade off.
Good expensive things
Expensive not so good things
Alright place to do business with
They tell you that you can bring something back if you need but fail to mention they will take 20% off what You paid as a “restocking fee”. I’m sure it costs them a Great deal to throw something on a shelf.
Don’t buy unless you’re Sure it actually Works.
After having been an loyal customer for many years. I have spent a lot of my hard earned money I this establishment. Unfortunately at the conclusion of a four hundred + dollar transaction. My elderly father requested the use of their restroom only to be told no public restrooms. I was disappointed to say the least, I will not do business with this company any longer.
Spent over 700.00 on my sons 4wheeler from there, was assured it would work and be worth the money. Completely a disappointment. I bought one as did my sons father and step mom and not even a month after purchasing the atvs were both broke, not running, wouldnt stay running, battery issues, etc. Establishment had nothing to say about these issues nor did they want to fix the problem or provide a refund. My son was excited and so looking forward to his new ATV and we were all completely shocked and disappointed that we basically had our money stole from us. Ive spent well over 1500.00 at this place and I wont ever be back nor will I recommend to anyone.

I’ve always enjoyed waffle house. It’s been one of those restaurants that I find myself at when I’m with my father or grand father. Great prices and quick service. This location is no different than the others. Great place!
La empleada Crystal es racista. Solo con verme dijo Por que todos hoy hablan español. Buena comida y mal servicio
The cooking was definitely unique. They would leave the freezer door open where they have the bacon and other meats while they put some orders on the grill. This raises the temperature and potentially puts food into the danger zone.
There were food just sitting waiting for the servers to give to the guests getting cold.
The grill cooks re-used all the egg bowls that have been sitting by the hot grill when they make regular eggs. While those bowls are not being used, the remaining egg particles are subjected to hear and the danger zone for food born illness.
The eggs they use are also sitting on top of the grill in a wire basket with no ice. This raises the temperature of the unused eggs and puts them in the danger zone for food born illnesses.
Food is good when it’s served correctly. Multiple times I’ve ordered over the phone and in person for Togo orders and every single time something is missing (even though the girls reassure me everything is in the bags) but tonight was my breaking point. Constantly my items are mis-copied and mis-prepared and the missing items is a constant issue. Would not recommend this establishment unless you’re sitting down for the night so you can be there to fix your order., I’ve tried calling back for refunds on missing items or food made incorrectly and I always get the same bull about there being no way to verify my purchase over the phone. Do yourself a favor and avoid this location unless you’re asking for coffee.
