I would highly recommend Piano Distributors! Bob are sales consultant was both helpful and knowledgeable about all major brands of pianos. He patiently worked with me to make sure I purchase the exact piano I would love! Thank you Piano Distributors of Tampa!
Great service
Very friendly
Piano Distributers is a wonderful place to shop for pianos. When l go, Karen is always there to greet me with a smile. She’s a very helpful person with a lot of product knowledge that cares about her customers. Thank you very much.
The store is manned by a large male that smoked multiple cigarettes in the 10 minutes we were there. My husband was looking to play multiple pianos to determine which one he likes. The man greeted us with “I guess I can sell you a piano but make it fast” which we thought was weird. The place was not closing for many hours so we continued in. As my husband was playing, this guy kept following us and making one of the electronic pianos play songs loudly which was greatly distracting. We kept moving to different pianos as to have less noise but this guy kept doing the same wherever we went which was incredibly rude. We were specially looking at grand pianos that are quite expensive and not being able to play them without the sales man being rude was disappointing. Needless to say, we decided to leave and take our business elsewhere.
What an incredible resource for piano parts, repair tools, plus instructional videos! Howard Piano Industries gave me the confidence to perform a DIY repair to replace three grand piano shank assemblies broken off at the hammers on our Yamaha piano (courtesy a few of our little rascals/grandkids). The replacement shanks fit perfectly and the careful repair went flawlessly. I’m so appreciative of the how-to video that helped guide the repair. Cue the applause! Bravo, HPI!
I ordered a piano cover for my upright piano. I’m very impressed with the quality. It’s really well made. The material I chose was the Black Mackintosh Heavy Quilted.
I had an issue with my order and contacted the shop using their online message form under my order. Chris replied to my inquiry very quickly despite it’s their busiest time of the year (right after Thanksgiving). The issue was resolved quickly and I’m very happy with how he handled the situation.
If you are looking to get a cover for your piano, I hope my review will give you confident. I highly recommend this shop, for both the quality, and their outstanding customer service!
P.S., the diagram on the website about how to measure for an upright piano was not very clear to me. I googled for how to measure and found a picture showing the dimensions without the cover.
They always send out my order immediately and correctly. Steve even answered my question quickly via email. I recommend Howard Piano Industries wholeheartedly. We’re lucky to have them.
6. Explosion Musical
Address: 7921 N Armenia Ave, Tampa, FL 33604 , Carrollwood Village , Florida , United States
My son has been coming here for two years for drum lessons and he loves it! He is learning to love music, and loves the whole environment of “The Box!”. The staff is friendly, are clearly music experts, and their passion for teaching is palpable. This is NOT how my music lessons were when I was a child – I think if I had gone to “The Box” I would have never complained about practicing or going to music lessons. Trust me – this is the place to be!
My 9yr old started drum lessons and I couldn’t be happier with the whole place. Fun, entertaining, great teachers, and opportunities to support local talent. Totally recommend!

13. Paragon Rentals and Music Lessons
Address: 1442 W Busch Blvd, Tampa, FL 33612 , Carrollwood Village , Florida , United States
A+ Highly recommend Paragon. They really are passionate about music and sincerely care about the students. We were able to try out different instruments before deciding. Fair prices. Excellent customer service for repairs. Great expertise. Really great people! My daughter got the trumpet for band at school.
I called in to get a instrument and they had it in stock ready to go .Paper work only took 5 minutes and payments were right in my budget . I Recommend this place to any beginning Musician to check out this place
Very nice and easy rental
Called to make sure they had an instrument, they said yes but it required I come in for a credit check then they ship it from Clearwater. Drove almost an hour to this place, filled out their form, gave them my social, unlocked my credit files and left only for them to call me 15 minutes later and say they never actually checked if the instrument was available and they had none to rent.
Daft staff told me an instrument was in stock and 30 minutes later when I arrived it was not
14. Creative Keys Music School – Tampa
Address: 11014 N Dale Mabry Hwy # 504, Tampa, FL 33618 , Carrollwood Village , Florida , United States
Creative Keys has been a great school so far. I love the teachers they are all very knowledgeable and polite. The environment is peaceful and welcoming. They carry everything that you need or can provide resources to find it. Perfect location if your near Dale Mabry in any direction.
Creative Keys is amazing! The staff is super friendly and the studio is comfy and cozy. I totally recommend as the lessons are also great, my teacher Miss Siri is very kind and I tend to learn something new every lesson ☺️
15. Hallie’s Studio
Address: 15821 Knollview Dr, Tampa, FL 33624 , Carrollwood Village , Florida , United States
To clarify, I have never attended or had my child attend here. However, we randomly heard them and were impressed. We had lunch at Michael’s Cafe nearby and the school had a couple bands putting on a concert. I am guessing they were teens. Guitars, drums, singers, etc. We could sing along to the singers. Some pretty amazing guitar rifts that made the whole table and other tables turn around to watch. Drummers on point. The school, musical artists, and parents should be proud of the accomplishments. You could see the support and encouragement among the group performing. These kids are stars and it’s amazing to have a place to encourage and bring that talent together. When I was young, I lost interest in playing the piano. An environment like that could have changed my mind. Guess that “could have been” feeling is why I felt the need to give a rating. I hope to see them playing at stadium in the future!
Super friendly staff with an amazing experience for all ages.

17. Barnes & Noble
Address: 11802 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33618 , Carrollwood Village , Florida , United States
Great place to find Father’s Day gifts reasonably priced.
I always find what I’m looking for at B&N. Great staff too!
Beside the books there is a great selection of learning and unique toys for kids.
The bookstore is fine but the coffeeshop only had 1 type of coffee, Americano. Nothing frozen, mixed, nothing. No tea, nothing.
I went for some coffee, and while there got inspired.
Selection is pretty good, but the stores layout is poor, and makes it feel like more merchandise and movies than actual books. I feel like it needs to be changed up a little on the inside but is overall a really nice store.
Rude manager. Double charged a customer and rude while trying to fix the issue smh.
On May 4, 2018 I found a gold diamond ring in the parking lot of your store number: 2767 REG:003 in Tampa Florida. I turned the ring in to the store manager who told me to come back in a week and if no one claimed it the ring would be returned to me. This morning my wife and I returned to the store to find out if the ring had been claimed, we stopped at the service desk not maned, no-one at the cash registers either located an employee staking books stood by her for a while before she acknowledged us “so do you need help” we told her why we were there she called the manager on her head set, she continued to stack books then said “ring was claimed” did not look up from her task and dismissed us. In future I will order my books from Amazon who will charge less for books, deliver them to my front door and will not be rude. thank you.
Went in to find a day planner and have a look around. I haven’t been to a B&N for years. The selection is horrible. Their were few day planners to choose from and there were no generic ones. There is no selection browsing the books. The big five must pay them so their authors get all the space. There’s no indie authors or small presses. I mean, does LOTR need four shelves? Same with Harry Potter. You look at the display tables and their still selling Twilight like it’s a new release. If the took away this space from a few authors and gave it to indie and small presses there would be far more selection and they’d sell more.
18. Selective Products Inc

I spoke with Lily and she was super sweet. The store is very large with lots of selections!!
best prices in town
Great service!
Cool looking place. Very nice staff.
Not great
I had high hopes for this place because it looked good on screen. However, they have terrible customer service and are very rude. The shop is underkept and they have very questionable food products that taste stale. They also have very mediocre products that you can find in any other smoke shop, nothing special really. Just rude employees and rude management when i asked to hold their employees accountable.
They have workers that like to take breaks, understandable, they leave a little sign on the door saying ‘be back in 5’ and lock the door but it has been over 5 minutes since I have gotten to this location and they are still not here
