Extremely knowledgeable staff. Polite and helpful. Great place.
The employees are always eager to help with what ever questions I have! Very organized!
Quick repairs, great staff.
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
Nice place to get musical needs
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.
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…
Their sales associates have the worst customer service I’ve ever seen.
I love the solder less jacks! Great quality and a good price. Much better to buy direct from Blackbird.
The Cadillac of pedal boards.
The board I received was a little beat up. Was having a email exchange with the sales manager Casey. He just completely stopped responding and did not follow through on what he said he was going to do and replace the board.
Super friendly and helpful people, we thought my sons Sax needed to be shipped out to be fix, it turns out just need some small pieces replaced, they had it in stock which was great news for us!
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.
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.
Happy with service. Inquired about my banjo being repaired
Great
Not to crowed
It’s a Guitar Center if your shop around there are always some good deals
Tienen variedades de productos lástima que Sierra temprano es un lugar para todos y puedes Serra más tarde
Not staffed to do the job.
The Guitar Center is Lakeland is getting pretty bad. I’m a long-time customer; purchased thousands of dollars worth of gear. Once upon a time, before the pandemic, it was fun and easy to shop ‘n swap there. However, they have not gotten over the pandemic slump, and seem to have a chronic shortage of staff.
It is actually pretty difficult to buy something. Sometimes, if you are lucky, there is one person on the entire floor… and I mean one person looking covering (or not) every section of the floor.
If there are multiple customers, the individual is literally floating between customers, and if there are transactions, there a multiple customers standing around (for a long time… like half-hour to an hour or so) waiting to engage the single employee.
In a music store, sales interactions are not quick, transactions are not quick, there are often things required of management and staff to fetch ‘n find things in the storage areas… all time consuming.
This store is not staffed to do the job, and I’ll bet the store is losing sales.
The last time I recall a good experience is when Chloe was there as the manager. But then there were at least three people working the guitar sales area, and I think there were people in audio, and drum. So, it is not strictly management. But I heard a few interactions that sounded like the merchandise was disorganized and hard to find ‘n sort.
This is based on 4-5 visits since the pandemic restrictions were lifted. I’m usually in the store between 2-3 hours so I get a good snapshot. I was there today for 2.5 hours, wanted to buy something… no sale… too hard.
Was never there !!
This was the Tampa store on Hillsborough. I called ahead to see if they had a keyboard in stock, a Yamaha p125, and Logan said yes we do. So I drove from an hour away and when I got there he said I am sorry, we are out of stock and I am not allowed to sell the floor model. I had a bad experience last week and I thought I would give them another chance.
Very professional and passionate about His craft! I found Luis Marte Music on google. I had a song that I had written for my mother who passed a way from cancer. Luis took my “heart”, my thoughts and helped me create a beautiful love ballad honoring her precious memory. I would recommend him again and again!
Very professional great arranger of lyrics need a good production in a timely manner luis is your man
I was referred to Luis and approached him with just a few tracks. He was very welcoming, professional, and EDUCATIONAL. After working with him for under a year, I have been able to increase the amount of content I am preparing to release. Luis is not only a fantastic mixer, but a highly skilled musician. He is always candid with his advice and you’d be a fool not to keep an open mind when he offers it. Very lucky to be working with him.
11. Lakeland School Of Music
Address: 115 W Oak Dr, Lakeland, FL 33803 , Highland City , Florida , United States
Great Staff!! Great Atmosphere!! Highly Recommended!!
GREAT Teachers
Great lesson today like always. My Autistic non-verbal daughter loves to play piano with Ms. Jessie. She’s the best!
My daughter loved her teacher even if she wasn’t learning as fast as she wanted but that was on her, not the teacher. That’s why we decided to go even having 3 classes left, and your right 3 ⭐️is not enough considering your low prices and your amazing teacher.
Thanks for the clarification of the no refund policy.
Wish your business all the success.
This is a great place to be. Three of my children have been attending this school for nearly a year, and has progressed immensely. Ms. Emily teaches my daughter the viola, she is beyond patient. I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive teacher. Ms. Grace Bell teaches my son the piano, they made such a great connection in such a short time, she is what her name says… And my other son plays the saxophone and to this very day he misses Ms. Libby, his new teacher is awesome as well. The only thing I’d recommend is siblings discount, besides that I wouldn’t change a thing.
12. JC’s Family Music
Address: 3250 Kathleen Rd, Lakeland, FL 33810 , Highland City , Florida , United States
My son had the bridge on his violin fixed here. Great service. Very accommodating. I rent a violin and it’s half way paid off but I would have purchased one here at a fraction of the cost had I realized how much I’d save.
JC’s Family Music is amazing! They went above and beyond, driving 45 minutes out of their way, just to make sure my son had his violin for his lesson at school! They are so helpful, kind and truly care about children having access to music! I am truly impressed with their personable service! My sons happiness and preparedness was just as important to them, as it is to me. I can’t thank them enough! I would highlyrrecommend them for all of your music needs!
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.
Loved it….

If you are an artist or have audio production need, stop looking… TracBuilderz is the spot! Not only is it professional and full of talent, but the convenience factor is a huge plus! Nice studio, talented producer and friendly. I’m a very happy customer! CM
Awesome staff! Nothing but a positive experience for both of my daughters, highly recommended!
Bought a Dean Vendetta 7 String at an unbelievable price! The owner helped me every step of the way and answered every question! Great store, prices, people, and selection! I look forward to my next visit!
This store is amazing the staff is great and my guitar is incredible
It’s good what can I say there’s always somthing in there to do or see
Friendly and helpful staff… take music lessons, the store has music and equipment
Wasn’t at all like the pictures online. Only a handful of guitars, some cables, strings, and picks. They did say they were going through a remodel but it looked like it was more geared to other art and not so much music. The staff on hand were very friendly though.
First off someone has been deleting any negative reviews here. Second I was very dissatisfied with their knowledge and the instruments I purchased to put it in a simple statement I basically got ripped off by them. I would not recommend them under any circumstances. I have been a musician for over 40 years this is the only music store that I have ever put a negative review on that should be telling you something there. They do not have the knowledge needed to do any repairs a good chunk of their instruments or substandard they are also selling instruments new that are actually shop seconds in other words stuff that could be sold normally as new because of manufacturer problems. And if you happen to get one of these you’re tough out of luck and that was exactly what happened with me I have been majorly screwed over by this store and I’m speaking this from a very experienced musician
currently in dispute with them over music lessons, and billing. My wife had to threaten with criminal fraud charges to get a call back from the manager. They picked up and moved in the middle of the night from one side of town to the other no notice not sign in window just gone. I did not find out till several weeks later what the new address was when they TEXT me about changing the lesson time.
The manager in talking with my wife said we show her signed in 6 times in January, she only went on Tuesdays and last i check there was only 4 in the month, so he is confused or some one is bad at book keeping.
I drove two and half hours to support a small business only to realize they had the wrong listing on their site. I called before I left to make sure they had it. The owner was very rude and tried to sell me a used floor model for over what the listing was. Amazon is not the problem its small business owners not caring to connect with customers.
16. TR Music & Voice Lessons
Address: 626 Glendale St, Lakeland, FL 33803 , Highland City , Florida , United States
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!!
If you want a current well-rounded education about the industry and some Amazing mentors and opportunities, this is definitely the place to come to.
I have my two boys (6 and 8) enrolled currently in the Rock 101 tract at School of Rock. I can’t say enough about what a great time they are having. Their teachers Mario and Will are so great with motivating them and keeping them interested in the instrument.
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
