Exclusive selection: The top 20 music shops of Deerfield Beach

These folks treated me the best I have ever been treated at any pawnshop. they are super friendly and professional. A+1 in my book.

Great services

Great service from Lisa and Mike picked up my pawn and bought acouple of things nice people!!!!!!!

Great place, Really liked the people here. I dealt mostly with Lisa who I found very professional and thoroughly knowledgeable about my item. She even looked up and hand wrote other local businesses about a different subject of sales. Because she / they went out of their way I’ll tell my friends and family that they’re worth a visit.

Dishonest and deceptive – be aware

Guy was mad rude on the phone

From the initial point of contact and throughout, I was welcomed and guided through, not only the space, but the logistics of production-from composition to mastering. The space and recording equipment is insane- top notch. Speaking to the level of passion and commitment these professionals are willing to give the artists. They are genuinely invested in making music and have created an elevated-FUN space to do so. Super chill, down to earth, and approachable! Love this newfound music gem! Can’t wait to come back!

This is by far the best Studio to work at! The Staff is wonderful. The “feel” is very comfortable even “homey”. Plenty of room for my band. As a Pro Drummer I must say, The “Sound” is incredible. I rate my many experiences with them FIVE STARS!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The perfect environment for comfort, convenience, and inspiration. Grailtones rolls out the red carpet and leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the equipment and passion going into the production. You can achieve any sound. Can’t wait to go back!

Found y’alls link on Instagram surprised to see y’all are close to home can’t wait to try out the Strymon Flint.

Great service. Friendly and insightful staff. Awesomely huge selection of just about any pedal you want to get your hands on.

A great idea and useful service until you try to cancel your subscription. Make sure you check your bank account after you “cancel” your subscription. I canceled in May of 2022, and have been being charged until now, September 2022. I emailed, and called, but received wishy-washy assurances that something would be done. After three weeks of this, now they are just not answering my calls.
I’ve submitted a dispute to my bank, and will also file a report with the BBB. Unacceptable customer service.

The same thing happened to me as another review that I just read. They charged me $47 per month for 8 months after I canceled my subscription. Someone in customer service emailed me a few times and said they were going to refund me and then they stopped responding and haven’t responded in over 2 months. Nobody answers their posted phone number and they have never returned a voice message. They owe me $376.

Beware. Bad.

Top notch! Pros all the way around and the place os an oasis!

I’m extremely happy with my classical guitar from Pinol. It’s a beautiful instrument that sounds as good as it looks. Amazing work!

Very well made and aesthetically pleasing guitar to play and to look at. The fretboard is rounded and makes it very easy to play. The tone of the guitar is also very pleasant and clear.

Everybody has a weakness, I buy ukuleles. I’ve bought over 30 ukes and have had some great ukes and some that make good gag gifts. Bought one of their Cocobolo wood Baritone Ukuleles. Had some worries, since their luthiers were overseas. Turned out I didn’t need to worry at all. The ukulele was beyond expectations.

My wife states it is simply the most beautiful ukulele she has ever seen. And she grew up just down the road from the Kamaka factory and has a bit of that Hawaiian uke snobbery. This is not one of those ukuleles that was made to be wall art, but it is a player with a deep rich sound. It is has that fullness of tone you get in those Martin and Kamaka high end ukes.

Soundwise I would compare it most to a Favilla Baritone – but the beauty of the wood and expertise in fit and finish goes well beyond my old Favilla. If you want a beautiful ukulele that sounds like it looks, by all means give John Paul and the guys at Pinol Guitars a call. They are good people who take justified pride in their instruments. They communicate well and take the kinda care with your purchase you would, if you were shipping it to yourself.

If I ever make that jump to guitars they are on top of my list, I expect nothing but good stuff from Pinol Guitars.

Terrible experience with owner. Will update when resolved.

This place doesn’t exist anymore. Went to address and it was a tax place

Bob Lyons is so awesome to work with and we were so blessed to have him as one of our vendors for our special day. From day one he was communicative, thorough and professional. We hired him for our ceremony and cocktail hour. He was flexible and has an impressive list of songs, most available for a listen on his website/youtube. We received so many compliments from our guests who loved the music, and we did too! So glad we included him as part of our day. He really added the fun, beachy tropical vibe we were looking to share. Hire him, you will not regret it!

The owner has been in the business a long time and is an honest person. This is one of the few pawn shops open on Sunday in fact open 7 days a week.

Got a TV for my mom for a great deal! The owner is a very caring person! Luv this place!

I’ve. been a customer of the hock exchange for 13yr . Mickey gives you the best customer service.He truly cares about me I’m a single mom and sometimes my car breaks down and its good to know that Mickey is always there for his customer Thank you Mickey. For all you do. PS .He Has Great jewelry an great stuff stop by an say HI

I never rate anything or anyone 5 stars. If I did Mickey would certainly get it.
Really helped me out not once but twice. Thanks

Thieves.
Gave the guy 5 items to weigh.
Meanwhile my bag of jewellery on the counter with The Who I sssume to be wife which was extremely Loud and couldn’t tell between hysteria or what.
She physically takes my wallet or jewellery bag to her husband whom is around a corner where you cannot see what he’s doing.
2 of my items got swiped in the shuffle of the wife hysteria and poor acting skills of kindness while she swiped my most valuables.

I ended up losing 2 of my most meaningful pieces of Jewlry NOT for sale.

Never received a receipt of an itemized list.

It’s hard to believe people can do this to other people.

They will N E V E R know how much those two pieces meant to me.

All in all it was like a game of three cups and a queen card under one of them.
They kept grabbing things when I specifically DID NOT WANT TO SELL them. But the wife took them fro me. And to the amount she will never ever know has broken my faith in people, the world altogether.

I feel so violated and robbed I don’t know what to do.

They wouldn’t even care
They took my fully organized retail items and treated me like some dirt off the ground.
Moving fast and taking my jewlery without my convent.

I do NOT know how this woman and man can possibly live with themselves or look at their faces in the mirror.

These two have pushed me over the edge in believing that good things happens to good people.

They took my innocence
They took my trust
My self worth

They will never know the damage they have caused.

Unspeakable to me.

But they must do this often so watch their hands at A L L T I M E S.
I guarantee you the camera will SHOW the woman swiped my hair pin Victorian era old English cut diamond
And most of all my deceased grandmothers sapphire ring.

Anyone out there know how to bring justice to these people I beg you to reach out to me.
This is an out rage. And there are no words.

I just can’t imagine how they can do that to someone whom was recently hit by a drunk driver and lost an arm.

Evil is alive and well and it is at Hock’s Exchange

Rip off

Weighed my gold and told me $40… Went to another location and they gave me $100… They play games here… KNOW THE VALUE OF YOUR BELONGINGS!!! These type of places will try to take from you everytime…. SO SAD!!!

Mark Begelman has more than guitars. Mark Begelman offers music lessons and next door has a state of the art recording studio for professional artists.
I was blown away by Marks’ selection. My boy needed a trumpet and Mark helped us out. This is the best hidden gym in the area.

My 6 year old grandson enjoys his music classes, says “it is so much fun” as soon as he walks in. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff, could not ask for better instructors.

Backstage Music is a hidden treasure. After almost a year of searching for a John Mayer SE Silver Sky In all of the big guitar shops I casually found this store on Google. I popped in not knowing what to expect and I was immediately rewarded with the guitar I was looking for. I was able to see it in person. Not only did they have the PRS I was looking for but they had all the other models I was Interested in. The people at backstage are absolutely the best. Super friendly and knowledgeable. I was even given a courtesy message making me aware that the exact color I wanted the guitar in had arrived. I was able to finally purchase the guitar I’ve been waiting for. I would absolutely recommend this store to those who are tired of the big box stores and want to experience the boutique guitar store feeling. You might just find the one you’re looking for.

Backstage Music is such a special place! I have been a customer for over 15 years. My younger son took drum lessons at Backstage and my older son bought his guitar there – we were appreciative of their expert guidance. And now that my sons are grown up, it’s my time to play. I bought my guitar there and I’m taking guitar lessons. From the moment you walk in, Jackie and Melanie greet everyone with the most welcoming, friendly hello. They create a warm, professional environment. They are both happy to answer all of my questions with such patience. I am loving my guitar lessons with Mike. He makes learning guitar so fun! He understands where I struggle and helps me through the challenges. Backstage is just such a wonderful place to learn and celebrate music. I am so grateful for the kindness, professionalism, and guidance they all provide. I am a happy customer.

Small store with limited quantities of product. Although if they should run out of a product they are able to re-order any product you may need. The store was out of French Horn Standard Essential books but they were able to order one for us and have it available for pick up the very next day. Customer Service is great and prices are reasonable – received a text message from Backstage Music when the book arrived in store and was ready for pick up.

I’m seeing all of these fantastic reviews, yet my guitar I took in came out of the setup in about the same condition than before, except with new strings. There are still issues like fret buzz and a faulty bridge pickup. The action was set up inconsistently, with my high E string choking out when I bend it higher than a half step. I’d never try to talk down on a small business like this, but this was just the case. With my poor review being an anomaly however, I’m sure that my guitar was a fluke or a bad day for the tech. No disrespect or hard feelings towards him.

This is good place and they are kind. But if you are a professional musician who are using professional instrument and looking for a repair shop, I don’t recommend here.

I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn how to play the drums. Our son has learned so much I. The short time David has been giving him lessons.

Amazing drum school! My daughter loves to be learning from them. God bless you

Great teacher. He’s patient and very talented!!

Great studio, friendly staff, everyone is very knowledgeable. Love the environment! 5 Stars!

Had my very first experience recording at a studio at TalkBack, and it was amazing! From the staff to the ambiance I felt right at home.

Great studio!!! Great experience, truly a place where magic is made.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVIE

Very pleasant customer service from the store manager

Fast and Easy!!!!

Hard to find help but when I did they were very helpful.

Helpful pleasant staff

Sometimes hard to find what you were looking for even though they have most of the aisles well labeled.

I have never until this store had a store employee follow me out of the door when I didn’t purchase anything. They asked me why I didn’t purchase anything, like they were doing a survey. But it was ridiculous and embarrassing. I felt like I was being stalked. I’ve notice Office Depot does this a lot inside the store, where they try to be super attentive and ask everyone multiple times if you can be helped, but it’s way overboard and following a customer out the door asking why you didn’t buy anything is just flat out ridiculous! I’ll be going to Staples from now on.

I have been going to this location for the past few months as it is the closest one to me. I will not be coming back, however. Time and time again I have come in to this location and a ton of unprofessional and unsanitary things take place. This location DOES NOT require mask entry, which is already a huge red flag for public health – but they also do NOT regularly sanitize. The most they do to “protect” their customers is leaving out a bottle of hand sanitizer. They do NOT regularly disinfect throughout the day. The computers at Copy and Print will go HOURS of multiple customers using them without any wipedown of the keyboards or mouse. It is unbelievable how poorly handled this location is.

On top of this, the management of this store is atrocious. The store manager “Clifford” is one of the most unpleasant people I have ever dealt with in retail. He is rude, unhelpful, condescending, and will be glad to not help you with what you need. In the few times I have spoken to him (I started going out of my way to avoid his service) he was unbelievably rude and unhelpful. His tone is always aggressive and he shows no shame for his random outbursts. I have overheard him cussing out his employees while shopping. It is disgusting. I cannot believe that this corporation allows such blatant unprofessionalism to MANAGE one of their stores.

And to finish it all up, the store in general is poorly run. I have come in countless times to find my order is not ready, the store is severely understaffed, and most of the employees have no idea what is going on (in terms of said orders) This is all clearly a deep rooted problem with the store’s current managers and the overall lack of quality control by the corporation.

If you ever find yourself needing to go enter this store, DON’T. Staples is a much better substitute. Order things online if you have to. Going in to this location is retail hell. I will not be returning to this location or this chain of stores ever again. Such shameless and blatant unprofessionalism should not be tolerated by any well paying customer.

Absolute worst service I’ve never coming back been here many times and it’s declining with customer service dramatically. You go to the print and copy center but they can’t help you because they can’t move from their post. Keep in mind it was literally no one in the store the young girl was whispering I kept telling her I can’t hear her she did not raise her voice was whispering and she said she can’t help because you can’t come from behind the counter again literally no one at the store. Every time I come here it’s agony to try to get help to find somebody and then get somebody that can actually help you without an attitude. Shameful

I have never been there in person but there prices, knowledge and willingness to talk someone threw there first guitar purchase is the reason i bought my second guitar from them. Thank you for keeping things affordable and professional. Im a life long buyer….Seagull s6 get yourself 2 !

Best customer service! Cant go wrong getting gear from here, good prices and limited editions are awesome

Never been to the store but they have a great website! Shipping is always super fast and customer service is awesome. Could not recommend this shop enough if you’re in the market for new gear. They truly are gear heroes.

EDIT: Apparently they use Shopify and it was Shopify who flagged my purchase as fraud for no reason. Still, wish I was notified and did not have to find out by simply not getting anything. Remade the purchase through paypal and they sent it out immediately so that’s nice. So pay through PayPal when buying. ORIGINAL REVIEW: No email, no nothing, order just cancelled and only found out when I waited and got nothing. And now I have no time to order from another store before I leave the country. Don’t order online.

The most unfriendly and dis-interested staff I’ve encountered in all of the music stores I have visited in Boca Raton. I intend to purchase a new guitar while here in BR, but it won’t be from this place. Sorry! Also they have a rather small selection of guitars.

Great service and super helpful. I had an issue with my mod and Matt fixed it in minutes. He’s a good employee.

One stop shop for all the best vape products. Great selection of juice. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. I highly recommend this place!

I like coming here. Employees are always friendly and helpful despite my indecisive moods. Matt is always a laugh and ver knowledgeable 🙂

Knowledgeable and great prices.

They hv a huge selection

Good place nice staff

I don’t go here anymore there overpriced and the juice is nasty I’m a vapor shark girl now juice is sweet and prices are awesome.

No coiling kits yet sells rdas.

These guys put no effort into finding you anything that you ask for even a simple product. Do not return phone calls and have an attitude
