Absolutely one of my favorite stores! I can always find unique items and really cute home decor items. It’s always something there waiting for me even if I didn’t plan to buy a it…lol! The staff is always nice and very helpful.
Wonderful young people who are helpful and knowledgeable.
Nice quiet atmosphere. Friendly staff. Good prices.
NICE
No truck parking
a small store but very clean and organized. friendly service…very personable…these days it’s nice to find nice helpful people
Yesterday was the first day I have ever left this Goodwill without buying something. The prices seem to have doubled! In Gadsden County of all places, where the median income for individuals is $25,421. Shame on you, Goodwill. 🙁
Goodwill prices has really gone up. I understand the purpose but why has the prices skyrocketed. When you look at the prices you would think that you were in a retail store. When I called to the main office in Tallahassee, fl the manager there was very rude and nasty. Goodwill alot of people feel the same way as I, alot even said they don’t’ even donate to GW anymore they would rather just take stuff to the Salvation Army.
This is supposed to be a goodwill. You guys sell used stuff like it’s new. I can go to another store and buy the same product NEW. This used to be a decent place for hand me downs. Now you guys don’t seem to wanna help people who are in need. Shame on whoever runs this mess. Took away the 50% off was the worst thing you could do for people who are poor. I hate giving you my donations. I’d rather give them to someone now.

The folks at the Tallahassee location were very low pressure and very informative. They grabbed every tenor sax they had, led us to a practice room, and let my son just sit and play the different instruments. They stopped by often to ask if we had questions and give honest feedback when we asked for their opinion. We were there for about 2-1/2 hours and were treated great!
Great service from friendly, accommodating employees. 10/10 absolutely recommend.
Our experience at Playground Music has been exceptional from the moment we walked in the door. A+++ service!!!!
DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE! These people seem great and nice when you first do business with them but they will take your money and then try to strong arm you into renting a much more expensive instrument and on top of paying for a more expensive instrument they will charge you interest at an insane rate! They will tell you that they do not charge interest when you first rent with them and then try to pull a bait and switch to force you into renting a $6,000 instrument with interest on top of that. I wish I had know n how awful this company was BEFORE I rented from them. Now I’m a year of wasted money on a saxophone. Their store looks nice and the staff seems friendly but whoever is running this place or owns it is a cheat. I moved my business to MusicMasters and the staff is much friendlier and their rental program is cheaper and they do not charge you interested or try to cheat you out of your money. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!
I rented an instrument for my daughter. She lost interest at the end of the school year. I followed their directions to end her rental and submit her instrument. Their worker forgot to pick it up. Since the school was closed for summer, Playground music has continued to charge me for their mistake! Their manager acknowledged their Mistake. It has been weeks and I still have not received a refund for their erroneous charges. They will not respond to my contacts. I would use a different service that is on top of their business more than this one.
I came to this place because it is advertised as being a place for kids to learn music and improve their skills and grow as musicians. Meeting Jared and Curt, they seemed like nice and knowledgeable people. But when it came down to doing business, they’ve shown that they’re not very good businessmen.
Jared double charged my card, and never showed any kind of apologetic attitude towards the situation. They said the double charge wasn’t showing up in their system, and it took a week for them to even FIND the charge. They never believed me when I said my card was overcharged, they had to wait for their accountant to tell them…almost 2 weeks I went without a refund which financially set me back. Curt handled the issue after Jared screwed up, and at the end of it, they really didn’t care about the situation. Before I paid them, they said a contract would need to be signed, which I never signed one, but after the issue, they went on to say that signing the contract was not necessary.
They really aren’t missing out on us canceling further lessons with them, and their attitude towards me and my daughter as we finish this months lessons shows that. If you care about where your money goes, and about people actually caring about your child as a musician and their future, I would not work with these people.

They are very knowledgeable and have good deals most of the time. They also have a couple of left handed guitars, which if your left handed they are harder to find a a good price.But they tend to try to help how ever they can.
Always well stocked with new and used inventory; friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff (in store or online); great location… great store…!
Great store for instruments and music related items.
Large selection of new guitars
Doesn’t carry anything but things you need for a guitar
Rude staff. Bad attitudes. Ignored multiple customers. Manager on duty when he came out of the back walked around like he had no clue. General manager is out of town and it is obvious when the boss is gone his store goes to hell! Only 1 employee in the store acted like she cared and she was running her butt off. Will definitely be talking with the general manager when he returns.
A really great selection of guitars.
I used to review this at 5-Stars
However, I recently lost a small battery clip for my Washburn Accoustic Electric.
I purchased this guitar from the Guitar Center, and they are listed as a Washburn service center(along with many other brands).
After calling and being assured on the phone, they had the part,
I drove an hour to Tallahassee.
Upon arriving, I was told no, they didn’t have it. After telling the clerk I had called, she went to the rear to get a service person. He came out and said they did not have it and could not help.
So.. I’ve had to modify my review. The guitar I bought is cheaper via AMAZON. If Guitar Center does not offer service, why pay more?
Go in, find your guitar, order online, and save a couple of hundred dollars or more!
I am sitting here waiting for lessons that I paid for a month in advance for my daughter. An instructor named Mordecai has been a no show twice.

Great store, great product, great prices and great people. I sent back some online stuff ( PA & guitar) I had bought. I dealt with Cameren and Bobby. Forget Musician’s I’m-not-ur-friend. This is where you need to go. Buy Local!!
Excellent staff and great deals. I came in wanting to buy a harmonica holder a couple of weeks before writing this review. I fell in love with a Taylor Mahogany Top 320. Beautiful guitar and I knew that as a college student, I couldn’t pay anything close to what the retail was. They allowed me to trade in my old guitar and gave me close to full value of what I bought it for! Then they beat Guitar Center’s trade in offer when I asked them for a quote! The owner really cares about his business and was willing to work with me. I now know why it is so important to keep local shops alive and in business. I am the proud owner of the most beautiful guitar I’ve ever seen and thanks to some great businessmen, I can continue my dreams of becoming a Music Therapist! They even have a well trained service staff and will fix all the big name brands of guitars, keyboards, and amps! I know where I’m going to get my future music supplies from now on! You rock Music Masters!
Recently bought a used acoustic guitar at music masters and love it. Had AMAZING service, guidance and help from Dylan Allen. Best music, guitar stores in Tallahassee with simply the best and most knowledgeable staff in the area. If you are a budding musician or seasoned pro I highly recommend Music Masters 🙂
Local alternative to one of the remaining Guitar Centers. Better selection and friendly staff.
They normally have what I need for my kids musical requirements.
Although I was unable to get an instrument for my daughter, the options available were great and would try again in the future.
Cool selection and nice staff, but I asked them to replace my nut on my guitar because of a slight rattling. I paid 50 dollars for them to make the rattling much worse and for them to tell me to contact my guitar manufacturer. Don’t use their tech support
Went to the store in person to rent equipment for school. The salesperson told me to do it on line instead, this was on a Friday. I tried 30 minutes after leaving the store and the website for rentals was down . It stayed down all weekend and into Monday. On Monday I called and asked to reserve what we needed and they could not do that over the phone. We just drove back up there to find out they are now out of the kits we needed.
Left my trumpet with them for a basic cleaning. Waited over 3 weeks to get a call back on the status of the service only to find out that they’d done nothing with my horn yet. Another 3 weeks pass, a second phone call; still no progress. The week before the end of the semester and juries, I get a call that it’s done. Mind you, I had called at least twice a week every week from the time I dropped off my horn until then to see if it was done yet, and they only called me twice.
If there were literally any other place in town to do repairs, I’d recommend going there over Music Masters

Address: 1940 Pat Thomas Pkwy, Quincy, FL 32351 , Gadsden County , Florida , United States
It’s clean, friendly, but a very small store. Good for quick trips, or picking up something most stores have.
great!
Crawfordville Walmart is usually well stocked. They have a very large selection of Christmas gifts this year I noticed. Grocery side is clean, well kept and stocked.
I Specifically went to purchase some bird treats which I found quickly in pet department.
No employee was at the Fabric Section the day I went in and no one was cutting fabric.. Ummm!?? Maybe they pulled her to another section of the store.
I still am very unhappy about Walmart’s self check out situation. I don’t like to check out my own stuff but they only open 3 or 4 lines spread up and down the isle and with so many. Christmas shoppers, It’s almost impossible not to have to use the self checkout! That isn’t my job! I feel angry everytime I’m forced to use these.
Will I have to start stocking the bathroom next?
Pretty good supplies and variations if items. Helpful employees.
I always find what I need. Everyone is very helpful
Walmart is walmart.
Ugh just hate visiting stores now
Helpful on buying a phone but not activating it
The cashier at the murphy usa gas station associated with the walmart next to it couldnt get my debit card to work and then when i got to my car at the pump it said prepaid $10 so i proceeded to pump gas and figured the card went through. She then came to my pump and said that she had put 10$ on the pump on accident and it wasnt payed for and asked if i had 10$ in cash( if i had cash i would have used that when my card didnt work duhhh..) so she proceeded back to her register cursing along the way. I got in my car because there was nothing left for me to do and i had a shcedual to proxeed with and above all this was her fault. As i drive away from the pump she cones running out saying im stealing gas and that she has my tag number and is calling the cops!!.i stopped long enough to tell her it wasnt my fault she cant do her job and ill be glad to let the officer know the same story if contacted (i havnt been) ..bye falicia
