It was the first time that I gathered the courage to start taking singing lessons and Michelle made me feel so comfortable right from the first class. Within a few classes, I have started seeing such improvements that it makes me wonder why it took me so long to get started.
Also went over to see the tenor ukuleles and bases in the guitar room, and Mark was walking me through the options and explaining the backgrounds of the different companies. He also helped point out to me options on different levels, like the basics versus instruments with “extras,” or the higher end ones.
I started voice lessons with Danielle in April 2023 and only 4 months later, have felt an incredible change and difference in my singing ability. Danielle is one of the best teachers I’ve met. She personalizes all our lessons to me, my learning style, my voice and what I most need help with. She never, ever makes me feel ashamed despite me feeling extremely self conscious when I first started. She’s encouraging, nurturing and so optimistic!

Wonderful customer support, helpful how to videos and huge inventory of standard and speciality guitar products.
Such a quick and easy process! Super affordable and high quality!
Chad’s tracks are high-quality and fairly priced! I definitely plan to purchase from him again in the future!
Chad was extremely easy to work with and created a fabulous accompaniment track for me to use at a performance! The price was cost effective and I absolutely will use him again! He is a fantastic resource for choir teachers!!
Thank you, Don and Marsha. Great conversation and service. I will make sure to come back for the full cello. Stay safe.
Mr. And Mrs. Jones the owners were wonderful! They are great conversationalist and have a ton of knowledge of all instruments. They when through rent to own vs buying outright and the process was simple. Walked out with everything we needed. Very kind and helpful.
Great customer service, the lady tune and fix my violin in no time! She was very sweet and so was the guy in there!
Nice convenient family owned business with a good variety
I want to rock….
Local lessons by knowledgeable staff. Was a super cramped placed a lesson room seems small. The amount of instruments on the wall was very good, very nice selection. We came for a repair and it was a quick drop off with no issues. The biggest issue was the cleanliness of the restroom. So gross and no soap.
We have been talking my boys to happy tunes music for about four months now. I work nights so I couldn’t go to most of the lessons but the couple times I would get to go with I would leave saying I really don’t like the way Marsha is with my 6 year old. I felt she was harsh with him but my husband said she was fine. Well this past week during a piano lesson my 6 year old put his head on the piano and she didn’t like it so she pulled him up by his hair. We will never take our children back to happy tunes music. I just wonder what she could have done while my husband was checking on my oldest. Keep your children safe. Don’t go there ever.
I wish I could have given less then 1 star.
The customer service horrible especially if your of color I will never shop at this place after experiencing racism at this establishment I took my money else where just sad!!!!!!!
Extremely rude personnel.

Address: 2415 Sunset Ln, Lutz, FL 33549 , Cheval , Florida , United States
Great studio! Nice look and even better sound. I recommend this place to any artist.
Bent strings is my favorite place to record. I’ve tried many different studios in Tampa but the quality and care my engineer at Bent Strings puts into my work is amazing. I use Armauni Sound as my engineer he really helps bring my vision to life. I recommend all recording artist and musicians to use Bent Strings for their recording needs.
BEST STUDIO IN TAMPA
the people are perfect and friendly very respectful and nice. WE LOVE IT HERE
Nice enviorment
Just wasn’t for me Debbie cool , susan cool but experience I never want to have again , I will leave it at that there other studios worth the trip and time for a more professional experience & less drama and I stand bye my decision. Not everything for everyone …
I have not been to Bent String directly. I found this studio online looking for an engineer. I met JT is Facebook mess where I reached out to him for help with a track. He did my first single, Tyler herro. It was a good sound and it was done and returned in a timely matter. When we did business for that song he said he didn’t preview the song and he only works on when he gets paid. I already though that was a little weird but I was willing to move forward and have him work on my album. I paid him and sent him the album around December 31st and confirmed a date of Jan 11th. I inquire about the album a week in with hopes to visit the studio and listen to the album. JT said the studio was hit with COVID and I could come in the week after. I’m thinking ok the week after is the week of the date I’d like to release so I ask again for clarification. He said he would have it done before the 11th. I hit up JT on the 10th. He expressed that he would have it done on the 11th now and not before because per his words, he had bigger sessions. So I asked if he knew about the sessions when we confirmed mine and he said no. When asking him what’s going on I asked for a refund if he couldn’t get it done and that I’ll go with someone else. He said he could do partial and that the reason he didn’t finish my album was because his ears needed to rest from 8 hour sessions. I’m an engineer i went to school for this so I understood. I told him to get the proper rest to have a great sounding album. He sends me the album that night and it sounds rushed. It’s sucks an engineer would tell an artist they have bigger sessions after taking there money and wasting their time. Who can I speak to about a refund?

Was on tour and my horn broke. Steve took me right in and fixed my horn immediately and sent me on my way! There isn’t a nicer guy on the planet and I HIGHLY Recomended everyone use this wonderful shop!
Very kind, polite and helpful.they followed Covid rules and very grateful they did.
They have good stock and offered me suggestions that i didn’t think of!
See you guys again soon especially if i win the draw for a guitar (kidding).
Very knowledgeable and honest with this assessment of what needs to be done and give options including external solutions
I bought my flute from then back in 1986 . I have brought it in the them for a complete overall so my daughter can use it for her first instrument.
Did not repair two flutes left for over a year. Went back to collect them and they were initially lost .
Finally picked them up after I was notified that they found them.
Will take them to a more organized repair shop and not this hole-in-the-wall.

Address: 13133 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33618 , Cheval , Florida , United States
Every time I go into this store the employees greet us right away and are always happy and helpful!!
Taking drum lessons from the most excellent teacher ever.
Sydney,the sales associate, was professional & caring towards us with regards to buying my husband’s ( he can no longer play them) musical instruments.
They have a good selection of merchandise and I always find what I need. Their repair center is good (at least for guitars, can’t speak on anything else). They even gave me a free case with my new bass when the first bass had to be returned. They have probably the worst ever customer service though. Lots of stuck up hipsters if you ask me
I love the staff. The place is full of smart and kind people. All of which have a great desire to help serve you with precision and swiftness. The lessons they offer are great as well, though 30 minutes sometimes seems short, the teachers provide TONS of great information and music to help you learn or improve no matter who you are. I love this store and I love the people. I recommend it to everyone I know!

Just go to Guitar center basically paid $80 for a damn guitar stand.
I have been a customer of Sam Ash since the opening in Tampa Fl ! Last week I purchased a Gon Bop Super Tumba 13.25 and It was a good sale purchase. I was very happy with the purchase !
Trip ( Sales Tenant, Most Excellent Dude) says they will meet or beat any price out there!! Just bring it and Sam Ash will pay the difference ! OK!
Well,,”Not True” !!! I bought another Gon Bop Super Tumba 13.25 through Amazon ! Went back to Sam Ash and to my Amazment, Sam Ash Would Not Pay $ the difference!!!
Yup, Sam Ash said, Not Amazon !! WHa Daaa !! So, I will never purchase anything from Sam Ash in this Lifetime ! I WONT, “GOOD BYE” !
I purchased an online item from Sam Ash in Tampa and had to follow up several days later to find it had already been sold in store. I would not trust Sam Ash for any online shopping.

Mr. Gabrielle is so great, patient and kind with my son. He comes highly recommended!
Great teachers. Affordable.
If you’re looking for a music school that has the best quality teachers for your children; teachers with passion, skill, and knowledge about music. Then your in the right place. I highly recommend it to everyone!!
Not big fan of this place . Messed up schedules and unqualified teachers
I have used Bill Ingalls for my personal Hammond organ repair for as long as I can remember as well as church organ repairs. He gives 110% and has saved me money along the way. Best organ repairman ever and great customer service.
I’ve known Bill Ingalls for years and he is definitely the best repair tech in the business. Over the years his work has helped thousands of customers keep their music playing!

Ezekiel is an amazing teacher! My daughter and son love him as their teacher.
My 8 year old son has been getting piano and drums lessons for over 2 years now. My son looks forward to his lessons and has learned so much. The teacher. Ezekiel, has been especially patient and kind and has worked well with my son. I would definitely recommend this music school!
Ezekiel helped me restore and reignite my passion for music. I had already learned a bit when I was younger but Ezekiel showed me a few basic concepts that accelerated my understanding of guitar and bass guitar. Ezekiel’s passion is evident when you’re with him and it is actually inspiring in a lot of ways. I would recommend him to beginners or someone looking for a fresh musical perspective.

Very thankful for the opportunity to work with Nick and for his enthusiasm and desire for excellence, and for encouraging me throughout the process of recording my EP. He also makes for a great air bnb host haha! I think what is most evident is that he loves what does and puts 110% into every detail. I was and still am extremely proud of the end result. Thank you Nick for a once in a lifetime opportunity, and hopefully we can do it again sometime in the future!
Nick Cotzee is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. He is an exceptional film producer and music composer. He helped me produce a promotional video for my screenplay, Love’s Enduring Passion. Right from the time I met him he remained engaged with me and the process, helping me edit my synopsis for the film. On the day of the shoot, his film crew, Aren Rosales and Juan Jusino we’re fantastic, superb skills and great value. I am extremely happy with the outcome, especially the original music score. Nick was able to bring in a well known musician, adding an Indian flute to the score. He’s also pitching my movie to a well known distributor. I HIGHLY recommend RainMusic studio for all your production needs.
I’ve recorded with Nick in the studio many times. He has always been professional and does a wonderful job of creating a comfortable yet fun environment to create and record. He always pushes the creative boundaries and helps artists exceed what they thought they could do!
