They only sell organs. I’m sure they’re certainly nice and talented at that, but if you’re looking for a traditional musical instrument shop like I was, keep looking 🙂
Told me other places to pick up what I was looking for and what they had to offer. Very courteous and informative.
2. Central Music, Inc.
Address: 5175 Ulmerton Rd, Clearwater, FL 33760 , Feather Sound , Florida , United States
I have studied classical music for the past 55 years. Recently, I purchased a Rodgers Classic organ (series 558) for practice at home. The price was excellent, and service is outstanding! On the day of delivery, the truck arrived and the console, bench, and pedal unit were all blanket wrapped.
They spent about 1 1/2 hours setting the instrument up in the living room, testing and adjusting as necessary (pedals sitting on a carpeted floor), and a good 30 minutes or more showing ALL features and answering all questions.
Having been a music director in the South Florida Area for over 30 years, I have personally played on some of their installations – both electronic and hybrid electronic/pipe instruments. It becomes obvious when one walks into a church that great care was taken in designing the perfect instrument for the space – not only visually, but also acoustically. I have long been a fan of Rodgers instruments and they are the South Florida representatives.
Whether you have need of a practice instrument at home, or your church is looking to replace or upgrade the organ, I recommend without hesitation that you check with Central Music. I’m sure that you will agree that they stand out from their competitors in design, price, and support.
Our committee looked at several organ installations and when we saw and heard the Rodgers in the showroom in Clearwater, there was no doubt that we would purchase the Rodgers. Installation and voicing were actually ahead of schedule. I will be playing my 3rd service Sunday, August 31 and my congregation is very, very happy with their new Rodgers – and so am I.
Wonderful! Staff members are very helpful and determined to help you find your perfect instrument.
Bad customer service, very rude
Owner stood over me questioning about my income. Felt very unwelcoming. She claimed to do a lot of work with the church, but should probably read the Bible again. There are better piano shops where people welcome aspiring musicians…
3. Monument Music LLC
Address: 970 Lake Carillon Dr #300, St. Petersburg, FL 33716 , Feather Sound , Florida , United States
Huge selection plus excellent and knowledgeable customer service
Owner is an awesome person. Definitely recommend. ZAX
Dope ambience!
Petty seller, better off buying off Ebay for quality grade. Would never buy from again. Go over to Kingfish or Clearwater Record for quality records and service.
6. Steinway Piano Gallery Clearwater – Formerly The Music Gallery of Clearwater
Address: 5990 Ulmerton Rd, Clearwater, FL 33760 , Feather Sound , Florida , United States
Very professional. Took good care of both our pianos. Will use again
This place is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and stocked full of the most elegant, tone rich and fine crafted pianos in the world!! The staff is incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Tina showed me around yesterday and I’m blown away with the overall presentation and product at Steinway & Sons on Ulmerton.
Having reached retirement age, I decided it was time, maybe past time, that I invested in a Steinway piano. I’m not a professional musician, but I love music and know that there is a huge difference between the average piano, many of which I’ve owned, and the very best that money can buy. But this is not about the instrument, though I love my new piano; no, it is about The Music Gallery, Steinway’s authorized dealer in mid-Florida. From my very first contact with this company, I was impressed with their friendliness and efficiency. They have a terrific website and very personable staff. My contact there was Jonathan Hunt, the latest generation of the Hunt family, to help manage the business. When I visited the showroom I was impressed with the range of pianos available, both used and new. I felt no pressure to buy the most expensive instrument; they simply wanted me to feel comfortable that I was buying the instrument most suited for me, personally. I bought exactly what was right for me, and I’ve been delighted with my new piano ever since. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for a piano; they will help you find exactly what suits you, and you will not be disappointed.
They have wonderful piano from upright to baby and grand pianos.
Nice but very tiny parking for music recitals
Lots of nice pianos.
Place is very unprofessional. If your credit isn’t great they dump you to the side. Never call back and never work with you. Beware SCAMMERS
For CHARLEY (Says he’s an owner) I’m not one to write reviews but I’ll put this out there for anyone who enjoys BAD customer service. If you want to be treated rudely and get disrespected then this is the place to do business! Ask for Charley at the front.
I searched (googled) for the new location of Piano Distributors and the paid search result came back with this store’s address. Highly unethical and probably illegal. I wish I could select less than 1 star!
Sam Ash has improved 110% in the last 3 years. They have a lot in stock, have a good environment, and Anthony S. Is always really helpful and knowledgeable. You can tell he cares about the music.
Extremely helpful
The store is beautiful…the grntleman that helped us was friendly and knowledgeable…evrryone int store werefriendly including customers. Even if you don’t have a need for anything musical, you should still pay a visit to this store…it is AMAZING!!!
Helpful staff and if they don’t have what you’re looking for they can order it at a discount
I accompanied a friend looking to purchase a keyboard. Bought a Yamaha Keyboard PSR ew310. Great place if you are interested in music. Many types of instruments. I like music…..but I’m not a musician. Musicians must love this place….no matter their level of knowledge or musical skills. Two days later they purchased a keyboard. Interesting all of what they wanted were from opened boxes. The salesman ended up ordering a new one for my friend from their warehouse in Tampa.
I prefer the Tampa branch, but this one is good for simple fast stops.
Got given the wrong sizes tubes, tried to return it, told me no, understandable but also kind of a bad policy, at least test the tubes or have a tubes tester to make sure people aren’t scamming you instead of a flat out no or don’t deal tubes, place is almost as bad as guitar center these days.
Bought a mic right after work. As soon as I started to slide it out of the box noticed it only had a one ring seperator on the tip, instead of two, so I knew it wouldn’t work and slid it back in the box. This was a cheap #15 mic. Took it back the very next day and this $15 mic was scrutinized like it cost $1000. Does it smell to you? what is this speck? , etc. Now I get it, why they check it out. What I don’t get is insuating I abused this expensive mic to the point I never want to buy anything from this place again. Costly mistake on their part over a cheap bulk item. Makes me think that anything I bought there that might be defective will be deemed my fault. So much for that drum set I had my eye on for a while. Oh, btw, I did get the refund, but that wasn’t the point. It was the attitude from the girl behind the counter more than anything. I don’t like being blamed for things I didn’t do.
HORRIBLE COMPANY WHO ONLY SELLS USED EQUIPMENT AT RETAIL PRICE! THOS IS THE SECOND TIME! I WILL MAKE SURE THAT ALL OFMY MUSICIAN FRIENDS NEVER COME HERE EVER AGAIN!
9. Guitar Center
Address: 21335 US Hwy 19 N, Clearwater, FL 33765 , Feather Sound , Florida , United States
Hanna was amazing. At first I was waiting because they were busy but she took care of me and was so fast and helped me with sticks. She’s fast and amazing!!
Came in today looking for a capo and to look around the acoustic guitars. Man I assume to be the manqger was very friendly and offered his help looking around. Cashier was also very nice and helped answer my question about a possible trade in. The only gripe I have with this store is it’s selection of left handed guitars, as it is non-existent. As a large chain store, I would think they would have the resources for afleast a small selection of leftys. While I understand not having a large selection, not having any gives me no way to adequetly test out any style of guitar and leaves me feeling ostracized. This isn’t a complaint nesscarily toward this store in particular, but this franchise.
Good attention, excellent service
Is a great place to visit and get the instrument that you want.
The prices are a bite on the high end tho
Good store but has issues with stock items that are listed on the website but not in their system. But thanks to Jake! He helped us get what we needed anyway – was lots of work – and he found a way.
They have the music gear you need if they can find it. That is if someone is working that day. Had to get a guitar guy to get drum parts for me because the drum tech wasn’t schedule to work that day. I got what I needed as always and musicians can’t be too picky or they would do something else.
I called to have a simple repair done and they told me they could do it. I take it in and they tell me they can’t get to it until today. Well now I have to call tomorrow because NONE of their guitar techs are in. This is the most disorganized guitar center I’ve ever been to and I’m just going to take my business to Sam ash.
I am thoroughly upset and disappointed and the lack of intelligence in your Clearwater store. You need to educate your staff about medical exemption for masks. I was in the store yesterday and after several minutes of me looking for a patch cable a person came up to me and demanded I put on a mask. I told him I can’t for medical reasons and was exempt according to Pinellas County Ordinance 20-14. He then told me it didn’t matter that is was a Guitar Center “policy” and made me leave the store.. Let alone the unlawful nature of said policy you also open yourself to a lawsuit for violations of the Federal A.D.A and “public accommodation” laws. I will be sharing my experience far and wide on social media
Very little inventory. No one is available to get help with questions.

There are countless advantages to bring a member of a labour union and even more to being a member of the American federation of musicians. No one asks a plumber or electrician to work free or cheap for “exposure,” or for “fun”. You need representation when dealing with contractors

14. Harrison Jazz Ensemble – Wedding & Events Jazz Band
Harrison Jazz Quartet Ensemble was very professional in performing. They showed up on time, created an intimate ambient atmosphere and entertained our guests!!!
We absolutely LOVED the Harrison Jazz Ensemble. Roger was great to work with prior to the wedding and was very accommodating. On the day of the wedding, they were on time and professional. Everyone enjoyed the music and kept asking where we found them. I couldn’t have been happier. Music is our thing and they didn’t disappoint us. I’d hire them again any day!
Roger is AWESOME!! His music makes an event!!! Give him a call!!
Roger has been a constant entertainer even through the start of Covid. He would always show up to bring the joy of music to our residents who looked forward to seeing him. Music kept them happy when we could not socialize or have many entertainers visit our location. Thanks for the music Roger!!!!

15. Sound Coast Studio
Address: 4757 110th Terrace N, Clearwater, FL 33762 , Feather Sound , Florida , United States
Randy is easy to work with, keeps the place including the bathroom clean as can be. Decent gear, hard to find as its in the building behind the actual address listed for it on the web. Drive around back then to the right. Studio is on the left at the end of the building.
Top Notch Studio!
Place is the best around, it is a little pricy but had Superior sound compared to other jam spots.
Good place to jam.
Great people and very friendly!!!
Went for an event, had a great time
Set up session over a week ago, randy hung up on me this morning. No answer after four pm and no confirmation by text. Actually slightly worried about this situation. Would not recommend.
Maybe don’t be nasty to people who don’t love Trump.
This is a Republican Only recording studio. No “LIBS” (his words) need to give this guy their money.
One of the best up and coming music collectives in the Florida area. A very accepting crowd who all has one goal in mind; making music to make the world a better place.
17. Taylor Robinson Music & Voice Lessons
Address: 101 Old Coachman Rd., Clearwater, FL 33765 , Feather Sound , Florida , United States
Thanks for the great lesson and I look forward to many more!
Great teacher very patient and I really like his teaching style. And is very available for when you have questions after your lessons as well
My daughter Ava has blossomed as a musician since starting piano lessons at TR Music and Voice Lessons with Mr. Lewis. He truly understands how to connect with students on a personal level.
Paid $300 over two weeks ago with nothing to show for it. Can’t register with a teacher. My online message go unanswered . My text messages and voicemails do not get replied. At this point, I’m thinking it’s all a scam.
Great initial response, but I’m guessing the initial response is automated because initial contact from a provider, I got 0 follow-up.
Horrible customer service and I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. Definitely other providers our there that are more responsive and who actually care about customer service.
