Love this store! Avid musician, and the people and service were flawless!
Awesome service!
Very nice man at counter was very nice. We just looked around.
Good place for find some stuff about musica like guitar, violin, chelo, etc
It was great renting a violin here yesterday. My daughter was thrilled at the chance to receive lessons. Manager was very kind amd patient. I appreciate that. Thank you for the positive experience.
Went in there to buy a drum head because Guitar Center wasn’t open yet or I’d certainly have went there instead. EVERYTIME I’m in this store I get watched and questioned like I’m going to steal something. It’s a very uncomfortable environment. No other customer was in there yet, and as soon as I walk in, they’re all stopping what they’re doing and looking at me asking if I needed help, and I said “I’m just getting a drum head…thank you.”, and I wasn’t looking for 2 minutes, and heard another employee say “everything okay over there?”….YES GEEZ!!!! Can someone take a few minutes and decide what product they want!? Just because you’re looking doesn’t mean you’re plotting a GD theft! It’s a $20 drum head! Gimme a friggin’ break! And ya know…much to their surprise…I PAID FOR IT! Guitar Center sucks too, but at least they give you freedom to comfortably browse at inventory without being asked what you’re doing. There’s no excuse for that behavior. Innocent until proven guilty….not in that place, it’s guilty until they see otherwise. From now on, I’ll wait for Guitar Center to open. I won’t spend another dime in Carlton until they get the FBI…I mean, their employees under control…
Customer service didn’t know how to fi d piano music I needed to purchase.
After buying a very expensive clarinet. They would not buy it back after was told they would when I bought it. And it was only used 4 months, so it was in the same shape as it was sold.

Address: 2038 S Combee Rd, Lakeland, FL 33801 , Crystal Lake , Florida , United States
Rich is awesome! Love the great selection of beautiful pianos! They even delivered my beautiful piano locally with care for only $99. All the staff is passionate about what they teach and cares about everyone who walks in. The piano teachers there are great also. They provide singing lessons too! Highly recommend stopping by!
My daughter has been doing piano lessons here for about a year. She has learned a lot and I’m very happy with her teacher and also the owner of it
Friendly owner with reasonable prices.
MUY buena academia
5. Guitar Center
Address: 3165 US Hwy 98 N, Lakeland, FL 33805 , Crystal Lake , Florida , United States
I traded my old guitar in for a new guitar and got a really good deal. I never thought I would get much for my trade but to my surprise it was a really fair deal!! Would recommend this store ..there is a great BIG selection on instruments prices are reasonable too!!
Under staffed
Great service and selection
Waited forever for help
Extremely disappointed. If I can leave zero stars I would. I’ve been a guitar center customer since 1980 and have never experienced anything like this in almost 40 years.
Today I went to sell some gear and purchase a new amp which they told me was stock when I called 30 minutes before I arrived. The gentleman at the counter had me there for over one hour and was taking phone calls and helping other customers while I sat patiently waiting to complete my transaction.
After I finally shared my frustration with the young man and asked him to complete my transaction before he assisted anyone else he said the amp I wanted was out of stock and wanted to sell me the floor model.
No deal, I wanted a new amp so I asked to get paid so I can leave.
He once again walked away without notice to open the door for other costumes while I waited to get paid.
Never once did he hand me of to another store employee to finish the transaction.
After being there for over an hour a young lady finally paid me and I was on my way. I will never go back to guitar center ever again. Plenty other options online.
Completely unprofessional and a waste of my time.
Came in trying to spend money. Just kept getting ignored. Guy told me he would look for a case. His buddy buying some strings was more important. Someone else came by and asked if she could help me, told her what I was needing and she completely disappeared. No exaggeration, after 20 minutes I just interjected while this kid and his buddy were chatting and asked him if he was going to find the case. Told me that guitar didn’t come with one. I dunno, tell me that at first, and secondly, it’s a guitar center, you telling me there isn’t generic soft cases? Really, you expect to carry it out the door like that? So I went to Sam Ash and was treated like an adult and bought a Paul reed Smith. With a case too. How crazy
Wasted an hour and a half waiting for someone to find an in stock guitar. They forgot that my wife and I were there to buy a guitar. Stopped looking completely, severely understaffed. Poorly run. I’ve spent thousands here and will not spend another dime.

This voice instructor has a gift for making even the most challenging vocal techniques accessible. I’ve grown as a vocalist, and their support has been invaluable in my development.
I hadn’t been to TR Music & Voice Lessons in ages and ages, but since I’ve started taking flute lessons I’ve needed a few things so trekked on over. I’ve been there twice in a month. Customer service is outstanding from in-person interactions to telephone calls.
My sister-in-law and I booked Michael for my brother’s funeral. I contacted him via email at ~9:30 pm and was pleasantly surprised to receive a reply within the hour. We basically worked out all the details (tunes) and date, time and church info in just a couple emails. Michael was right on time and when he arrived the funeral director told us he was the best in the business. What he brought to the service and his kindness cannot be put into words. It was moving, especially when he played Danny Boy for my brother Dan. I would recommend him again and again.
9. TR Music & Voice Lessons
Address: 626 Glendale St, Lakeland, FL 33803 , Crystal Lake , Florida , United States
The violin lessons my son receives here are of the highest caliber. The instructor’s methodical yet entertaining instruction inspires the student to practice the violin and advance.
Seth is a wonderful instructor. The techniques we worked on together are the perfect balance of challenging and fun. He’s extremely knowledgeable about everything guitar and music theory. He also very enthusiastic about guitar and teaching the guitar. I highly recommend lessons with Seth!
Best decision I’ve made in a long time. I’ve taken voice lessons for 10+ years but what Brian taught me on my first day blew my mind. He not only teaches you “how to sing” but teaches you about the anatomy of your voice, which is equally as important. I can’t wait to see how much I improve!!
Just a great experience. Quality. Fits my personality in that so much to learn but not competitive. No gimmicks or hype. Owners personally respond to questions. Great fit for my needs and just fun in the final analysis
10. JC’s Family Music
Address: 3250 Kathleen Rd, Lakeland, FL 33810 , Crystal Lake , Florida , United States
They cater to beginner musicians, middle income families and band rentals for students . They are knowledgeable and friendly with attention to customer service. Nice little neighborhood shop.
Best music store in Polk County. They go way out of their way to repair instruments even when other stores can’t fix them. They do great quality work and outstanding customer service they really are the best.
Also, their prices are unbeatable!! Best prices and can’t compare to the other stores.
This is the Best Music Store and Instrumental Repairs.
Excellent customer service from Sam. Friendly and helpful staff. Convenient location as well.
Our daughter began her drums with Guitar Center and after 3 years still had not learned a single song. Within 2 months of lessons with Mr. Sam, she had learned a song from a list of her favorite songs and increased her knowledge and confidence in playing drums more than tenfold. It’s not just about the drums with Mr.Sam, but about the student, (a 7 year old child in this case) he connects with her on a personal level as well, which increases her confidence and enjoyment. We are fortunate that we found such an intuitive teacher and mentor to our daughter. I don’t think you’ll find anyone better or more qualified in Citrus County or the surrounding area. We highly recommend Mr. Sam and FS Music.
$150 for a used Boss BD-2 Blues Driver here, $120 brand new elsewhere. Also asked us to take our phones out and review before giving our items that were purchased multiple times.
Stopped by the store last week to pick something up for my son and the lady running the store at the time did NOT EVEN BOTHER to put a mask on to be honest I didn’t even see a mask except for the one I was wearing
That tells me how much she cares about the safety of her customers
I will NEVER shop here again !!!
There is no reason for anyone to visit this establishment, all I found there was a millennial with a dead eyed thousand mile stare, an utterly useless human being with no inventory.
