Of course I give him five stars. He is my father after all.
Internationally acclaimed expert luthier (stringed instruments making artist).
Responsible for the restoration of the famous Pablo Casals’ Cello.
Excellent and extremely knowledgeable artisan.
Superb knowledge of stringed instruments. Excellent service and high end instruments.
Highly recommended.
Rude…… don’t bother wasting your time… find someone who will do your repairs with integrity and who won’t be so quick to insult you and or overcharge/rip you off..
Jose should realize he has no skills or expertise to even be called Luthier. The poor personality does not help, either.
He completely destroyed my 100 year old flamenco guitar, he was supposed to do a restoration on it and demolished it, now to repair his mistakes would cost me triple the money I spent for this thief….and don’t tell me that you offer me a refund you liar, you actually were trying to charge me $50 for the credit card fee on top of $900 I owed you and I refuse to pay that because I was already paying too much for your lousy restoration and if can’t remember things that means you have signs of dementia, they have medication for that you thief.
I love love love!! This place there hard work pays off. Im si thankful for the peaple who worked on my music. Thank you so much for workingvwith me. God bless.
Amazing experience! I thought that my guitar needed a whole new input Jack. So I have been looking for places to get the guitar fixed, so I contacted Peter and he said it would only be about 20 bucks or u so to get the new piece and for him to put it in for me. So I go to his shop and he opened up the guitar And told me that the input Jack was in there and that it just needed a new washer. So he only charged me 5 bucks! He was honest and professional about it too! Great guy . He so could have taken that opportunity to charge me more, but he was honest! He was also very thorough. He tested the guitar to show me that it works before I left. Great guy, I definitely recommend!
A great great luthier. Always bring my guitars to him
After coming across Chellee Guitars about 4.5 years ago, Peter has been the only guy I go to for guitar repairs. His patience, attention to detail and quality of work is simply exceptional, and I have never been discontented with his work. His skills and abilities as a luthier is reflected in his repair work. Peter has performed a variety of work such basic repair work like setups, nut/ saddle replacements on my guitars, and even built a custom neck replacement for my Godin.
I highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a luthier/ repairman that is approachable and exceptional in his work.
Jessica Bella and I are super impressed with the owner’s ambition and professionalism. We are excited to develop this relationship. 5-star first impression for sure.
We’ve requested several guitars from Brand O’ Guitar Company over the past few years. They’ve always been fantastic to work with. They provide excellent service and are very good communicators. Plus, their products are so fun! They’ve even gone above and beyond to help ship guitars across the country for our tradeshows, making sure they get there on time. Keep on ROCKIN’, Brand O’!
Great family company that supports non profit organizations! Professional and quick turn around.
Got some guitar strings

If you’re a Hammond B3 fan, this shop is heaven! Owner Jim Huss gave me a fascinating tour of the facility and took the time to explain the inner workings of the iconic instruments. Jim played a few licks on a B3 with an awesome sound. Jim is obviously passionate about restoring great, old Hammond organs. They are at the pinnacle of all keyboard instruments and nothing digital comes close. If you have any interest in classic Hammond organs, make sure to visit Keyboard Exchange!
Informative, professional.
Really know their organs. Loads of videos on line.
This is an Amazing Store and Staff if you are looking to Purchase a Hammond Organ or Leslie Speaker . Also had my Husband’s Birthday Party there .
First time at this location. Really Huge selection. Need deep pockets. Nice salesperson and staff
This is a really really great store for keyboards. I just feel that the demo music is a waste. I want to hear music that is recognized. Not everyone is all about crawling all over the keyboards.
Do your self a favor and GO ELSEWHERE had a rental this week that was terrible for about 1000 dollars the only positive was meeting Randolph carter . They gave us raggedy hammond b3 with a 122rv and a leslie 22h with a conversion kit the first problem during the week was b natural and bflat pedals needed to be re soddered to the generator then the drawbars were loosenin the great manual and next the leslie 22h too horn rotor squeaked on fast and then wouldnt even spin on slow the next issue eas the b flats on the lower and upper manual werent working and the reason i got was “oh it needed a busbar shift” then i called and jim told me yeah things shift there was no im sorry nothing i mean we derserve some type of compensation we came from another state and everything 1000 dollars for a organ that wasnt put together spread the word ame baptist petacostal stay AWAY !!! I have video evidence of this all !!

Super nice staff, helped me pick out a new amp. Even gave me some band suggestions to look up. Will come back again.
Nothing but positive experiences with Benny and his staff! They are always friendly and professional.
Took my son in because he needed new strings. I know nothing about guitars, so I called and I spoke with Aaron who was very knowledgeable and decided we’d go. Niko was super sweet and very helpful. Everyone that came in and out while we were there looked happy and Niko spent a good amount of time with my son going over everything and was truly helpful. This will be our music store from here on out. Thanks again!!
They would not return some unopened items we purchased while trying out an instrument. I had to return for a manager and push to get some of the items returned. All I wanted was credit toward a different instrument and even that was a challenge. Make sure you want to keep what your buying.
It was our first time going there. The guy working there was very helpful. The store has a good variety of gutars and other instruments. They also give lessons at the store.
I’ve purchased two guitars from here so far. They don’t have a huge selection, but the prices are reasonable.
The 2nd one I got from this store was on clearance and they even knocked some off that, giving me a better deal than I could have gotten online for the same guitar,
After calling and ensuring Music and Arts had clarinets for rent, when I arrived at the store, I was told that they haven’t had any for several days. Worse, when mentioning the fact that I called ahead, the employee disputed me on what I had actually asked on the phone: “you asked me if we EVER rent clarinets, not if we had any to rent right now!” Then went back to playing with a guitar for sale.
In conclusion, I was able to find the instrument and service I needed from another Central Florida music store; I doubt music and arts will get a second chance from me.
The guys here are great, the issue is the company itself. I rented a guitar years ago for my daughter, no issues, the bill came out automatically and i returned when classes were over.
Then my next daughter rented the flute for school. I find out a year later that not a single payment has been withdrawn, I own the flute, and I owe $1200 for it. I have a bunch of kids and bills when I set up automatic payments, I expect that the payments are going through unless I get some sort of notification or call telling me otherwise, even just one call.. The card on file is fine, nobody can provide me a reason why I’ve never been charged. The only call i receive is harassing debt collectors two days ago.
Please rent elsewhere by all means!!! Dropped off my sons instrument At the school in March after he decided to drop band. Called the store and they told me that they would pick it up bc that is a service I pay for. Covid happened, and I didn’t notice til school started back that i was still having the payment coming out of my bank account for an instrument I had turned in months prior. Called the store and they told Me it would be picked up and the store would contact the Corp office to take care of everything. Next month goes by and still charged again. Call again and told That they would call Corp office again but then called me back and told me the that they couldn’t pick up The instrument due to covid rep being quarantined for two weeks but they would contact corporate about me still being charged and it would be picked up within the next few weeks.They explained to me that corporate could be a pain so I should call them too. By that point , it was October I believe. I asked if I should pick the instrument Up from my sons old school and bring to his new school since he started a new school this year and was told that was fine so I did so. Got it on Friday and had it at new school by Monday… the store advised me to personally reach out to cooperate as well along with them this time…so I called corp office and explained and they told me that I would have the direct withdraw stopped but that I would still be charged til the instrument was able to be picked up. Once it was picked up, I would get a credit to my account. December comes around and I get a letter that I’m in collections and my credit score may soon be dinged . I am livid. Call the store again. They remember me Bc of this whole ordeal that started back in March and the store manager himself even calls me back to tell me I would be getting a refund from March til the withdrawals stopped and they had the instrument finally! Then a week Goes by and nothing so I contact corporate again and am told that the account is zeroed but I won’t be getting the refund bc I didn’t personally contact corporate til October. I contacted the store I got the instrument from but never corporate so no refund from the charges from my back account months after I turned the instrument in!!!!! I rented from the store so I contacted the store I rented from! The manager assisted me as did employees and gave me false information telling me it would be picked up and it was taken Care of . Why Would I contact cooperate office if I didn’t know I had an issue. I contacted them when i clearly Was advised to contact them! This company and the customer service is awful! The store clerks and store managers try but clearly their hands are tied when it comes to doing HONEST business!!! Please save yourself the headache and save your wallet by taking your business elsewhere! I have requested a manager call me back so if they do the honorable thing and issue my refund then I will take this review down but if it is still up…do business at a business with better morals!!!!
