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.

The customer service is through the roof! I recently got a new computer and tried using my waves plug-in bundle. It must not have backed up properly but I reached out to Baywood and they got it fixed with in 30 minutes. Absolutely love these vocal presets and the customer service is exceptional!
Amazing presets! Makes recording vocals a walk in the park. Just select a preset you like and tweak it to taste then boom you done. Respect to Baywood ✊
Great passion & support, made a mistake at purchase and it was resolved in minutes! Thx Baywood 🙂

I couldnt even get in an aisle there was so much stuff blocking every way possible..I understand they have alot to put away but wow! Too many people hanging in front of store I couldnt even get a basket myself i had to ask the person blocking them if i could have one. All they were doing was hanging out smoking .I used to luke shopping here but if its going to stay like this inside and outside it will become very run down and I do not feel safe

7. Villano Music and Music Lessons
Address: 205 9011 Park Blvd, Seminole, FL 33777 , Kenneth City , Florida , United States
Gave great advice on the repair of my guitar strings. The owner (Mr.Villano), made helpful and insightful suggestions. Very knowledgeable!
Great music store, excellent customer service, great music instructors.
Excelente
It would be nice if they open when they say they will be open…
Nice staff. Small inventory
I called to ask what thier business hours were on a Thursday at 1:30pm. The old man answered the phone “Villano Music”. He hung up on me I thought by accident so I called back. The second time he answered with, “didn’t you notice I hung up the phone?” I don’t think he wants his business to last. Go to Sam Ash if you want a courteous person. Wow what a disappointment.
Called the store to see if they could repair an isntrument for me and as I was calling I also visited their website. The website said closed so I hung up and was going to call back tomorrow. I then received a call from them which I didn’t ask for and I tried to explain why I was calling but the guy told me I was wasting my time. He never listened to what I had to say. I would have not given any stars but that is not an option to post. Rude.
Brought my brand new telecaster in for a setup and the owner did a good job, however when I brought it in a few weeks later to have fret sprout addressed, the owner mangled the high E side of the fretboard. It appears he used improper tools, sloppy technique, and did no protective taping. It is rough, uneven, and he also proceeded to over bevel the frets to almost 3 times the proper length so the string constantly pops off the side. When I brought it to his attention and asked him to pay to have the neck that he ruined replaced, he refused.

Husonics is a great music store. The owner is a good guy who will go to great lengths to help his customers. The great instruments and services offered by Bill are exactly what you would want in a music store.
9. The Beat Music Academy
Address: 5956 54th Ave N, Kenneth City, FL 33709 , Kenneth City , Florida , United States
Best DJ school in St Pete’s! Before taking the DJ 101 class at The Beat Music Academy I had no clue what to do with DJ equipment besides spin the wheel (which I learned is called a jog wheel). After taking the course and practicing what I learned I could spin the wheel but this time I had the skills to finally make songs sound good together in a mix.
The instructors are super helpful and make things super simple and are always willing to help if you’re stuck.
If you’re deciding to take a course here I’d 10/10 recommend it and if you’re thinking about DJing you can even try the first class and see if it’s for you. I really recommend it.
Alen is a top notch instructor. He breaks everything down for a beginner so that they can easily understand and retain everything from day 1. He is patient, and gives honest feedback on what you need to do to make yourself a better dj. By the end of the course you will not only understand the basics of being a dj but feel comfortable enough to perform! 5 stars isn’t enough. If you have any desire to become, or just learn to dj, The Beat Music Academy in St Pete’s instructor Alen is your one stop shop. The course is worth every penny and time spent. You aren’t going to get the hands on, one on one instruction anywhere else. He wants you to be a top tier dj just like him. His passion for music and dj’ing is clear and you won’t find the level of instruction you get from him anywhere else I promise you! Cheers to Alen!
I recently completed a course at The Beat Music Academy and I must say, it was an experience that surpassed all my expectations. This academy is not just a place for learning music, but an institution that nurtures creativity, passion, and a deep appreciation for the art.
From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re treated to a lively, welcoming environment. The walls are adorned with music memorabilia and posters, creating an atmosphere that’s both inspiring and homely. The facilities are top-notch, housing a range of modern equipment and instruments that cater to every possible musical exploration.
The faculty is undoubtedly the academy’s greatest asset. Every tutor is not only highly skilled in their respective field, but also incredibly passionate and dedicated to teaching. The personal attention I received was unparalleled, with each lesson tailor-made to fit my pace and learning style. The instructors’ commitment to the students’ progress and their ability to make complex concepts easily understandable is commendable.
What sets The Beat Music Academy apart, however, is its focus on practical, hands-on learning. There is a strong emphasis on live performances, collaborative projects, and real-world exposure. The academy also hosts regular workshops and masterclasses with established musicians, offering invaluable insights into the professional music world.
The community at the academy is incredibly supportive, fostering an environment where students are encouraged to experiment, take risks, and most importantly, enjoy the process of making music. The range of genres and styles explored is wide and diverse, reflecting the academy’s inclusive ethos.
In conclusion, The Beat Music Academy is an exceptional place for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of music or cultivate their talent. The comprehensive curriculum, experienced faculty, and dynamic learning environment make it an unbeatable choice for music education. It’s more than a music school – it’s a community, a platform for expression, and a hub of inspiration.
10. TR Music & Voice Lessons
Address: 4740 47th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33714 , Kenneth City , Florida , United States
The system of instruction seems to be well-thought out. I like the main set of piano books that they use, and they also add other types of pieces–jazz, some pop tunes–so that he is learning more than just the classical style.
Ms. Harris at TR Music and Voice Lessons is an amazing piano teacher who tailors lessons to our son Mason’s interests, keeping him passionate about playing.

This is the spot they have what you want and if not they can get it for you dope spot
Love this place it’s so cool and Tom the worker was so nice to me!
Dope vibe good people and prices:)
great smoke shop . attentive staff . cool little lounge area and coffee bar . great selections of flavors . vapes, cigars, cbd pree rolls, incense & cold drinks .
Nice little spot.
So, I actually really like this place. Been going there since they opened not too long ago. Great vibes, friendly people. Been super cool. The reason for 3 stars (which, for any other shop would have been zero or one star), is because they have a ZERO returns policy. Even if the device is defective. Which is unfortunate. I spent $25 more than normal on the device (they’re $35 online, and $45 at another shop locally, I bought it for $60 at The Spot because I wanted to support my local shop), And now I’m just kinda stuck with it. Guess I’ll just order online like I was going to originally. lol!
Warranty department said I could send it in 15 days after purchase (because the seller is supposed to warranty it for 15 days). They also said, because it’s discontinued (which would’ve been nice to know. Means I won’t be able to get replacement pods and stuff for it), it will take at least 4 weeks to fix, and I would have to cover shipping. So, even though I really dug this shop, I’m just kinda screwed, and feel obligate not to shop here anymore. Maybe just don’t buy devices from them? Or do so knowing that it’s a risk.
I was a weekly customer until I bought two different elf bars that exploded on me and the owner refused to do anything about it and accused me of lying to get free product. If I’m spending over $240 a month there why would I need to lie. Save your money and don’t go here they sell faulty products that are a hazard to their customers and don’t care about good returning customers.
I bought a large(24 oz) red kartom for $14 and change. It was watered down. Pretty disappointing. On the positive the place looks cool on the inside and the guy behind the bar was chill.
These people sold me 2 delta elf bars at $64 each and both of them all the fluid ran out and they lied and said they would give me a replacement and then the owner said he was going to call the company and did nothing… these people are crooks do not support this place

You could not ask for a more professional and enthusiastic studio engineer. Dan goes out of his way to make the artist comfortable, is extremely knowledgeable, and will undoubtedly make you laugh at some point during the session.
Old school quality service and sales.
Immediatly you sense the presence ofl artisan diligently crafting at there wares.
Very nice place
Best place in Tampa Bay area for any fret work. They have worked on two of my guitars and did an awesome job.
Nice place, a bit pricey. $50 for new strings. Pretty good selection.
I’m in guitar heaven
Very vibey store and unwelcoming. No one really ever spoke to us. We came to spend money but decided to take our business elsewhere. They had a lot of nice stuff but no one ever asked if we wanted to play something. By the way, I think this may be my first review.
Went over the weekend to check this place out with my son. Who is an avid guitar player and has a pretty impressive collection. Went in to get some help/ tips on a guitar he just purchased and one of the gentlemen (the one with the skully in the pic) that work their is just snobby and was such a downer no help at all. Thank god my son didn’t really listen to anything he said or was discouraged cause that guy didn’t really know what he was talking about because we actually ended up finding what we needed somewhere else who was a more educated guitar player. Definitely don’t recommend this place for anything else other than nice location. I was truly disappointed. Do better guy.
If anyone needs great service and you can actually feel welcome and play guitars go to ST PETE GUITARS
Took my Taylor NS32ce here about a year ago at other location, I was having some buzzing and tuning issues and thought it needed an adjustment, Owner agreed and took a look at the guitar and decided it needed a new neck joint shim, he asked to complete the job in store right then, I thought this was weird, but had read reviews that it was a good shop and I believe that they were affiliated with Taylor working there in the past or something so I trusted his judgment. This was a poor decision on my part, I watched him do the entire job in front of me in about a hour, I tried to tune up and play the guitar in store seemed OK at the time, but couldn’t really get a good listen inside a busy shop. When I got home the guitar was trashed, would not stay in tune for anything and felt like the neck was completely out of place from the new shim. Deflated, I took it to Sam Ash in Clearwater and had the tech take a look he agreed with the faulty work and kept it for a couple weeks and when I got it back it played like a dream again. I wasted a $100 at this place. I see the good reviews and wish the shop the best of luck, but wanted to tell my experience.
Ember Strings was apart of our beautiful wedding ceremony in Mexico Beach, FL, in OCT 2022. The string trio played for 30 mins prior to the ceremony, and then played the processional songs for the family and us brides to walk down the aisle. They were amazing, and I highly recommend them for any intimate event! They traveled all the way from Tampa and were very easy to work with and coordinate efforts. Thank you, Ember Strings!
Ember Strings performed at our Grand Opening celebration and we were so happy with their performance! They added class and elegance to the event and entertained both adults and kids! We wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again for a future event.
Charlie Walton is a treasure. He has done restoration and re-covering work for me. His prices are reasonable, and he loves what he does. My only problem is that he’s moving out of my area and I will have to ship my stuff to him to work on.
Charlie is the consummate drum maker & repir man. You will never walk away disappointed!
Charlie is the biggest hidden tresure this side of the Pecos River! Guitar players have luthier, drummers have Charlie Walton! Tucked away in a non-conspictuous charming garden atmosphere along with his lovely wife Monique, he is the most highly regarded drum builder with at least a half-century of experience… What has taken me at least 10 years to begin working on 5-6 snare drums and wrapping kits, took him all of a month. All work reasonably priced and showroom ready once he signs off on his work. He IS a Master Drum Maker. You will be amazed at his reconditioning skills and Monique’s organic garden!
BEST WEDDING BAND EVER. I have been to several weddings all over the country and I have yet to find one that comes close to the professionalism, sound quality, and just plan fun this band brings to the table.
I feel so fortunate that this band was able to perform at our wedding. We have been married for a month and we are still reliving the amazing performance From Me to You Brought.
Any time we run into anyone and they bring up the wedding they talk about HOW FUN our band was. I really can’t run out of good things to say. If you are looking for a great wedding band, look no further than From Me to You!
I was blown away by the complete and utter talent that was the From Me to You Band! They exceeded any expectation I had and were so unbelievably spectacular! I want to share a review simply because there wasn’t very many and I’m glad I didn’t take that as a red flag or anything. My husband and I knew before we were even together that we would have a band at our wedding. We were discouraged by a lot of people in the industry on so many occasions…people saying bands only play one type of music, or they don’t know how to MC, or they never sound as good as the original tracks…etc. We obviously didn’t listen, and had a hard time finding a band and we were never able to go see one live. My husband would play different options without telling me who was who and that’s honestly how we picked From Me to You. From then on they were nothing but a pleasure to work with! They learned our special dance songs which were not easy songs (not gonna lie, I was nervous, as our first dance song was from Phantom of the opera). I could not have been more pleased! I cannot say enough about them and neither could my guest! Still my family is talking about how great they were. Truly beautiful people and it shined through the whole night. Jonathan was an amazing host and MC and kept the crowd dancing all night long! They were professional and did I mention how talented each and every member was. Do yourself a favor and book them for your next event! You will be so delighted. I will never forget my special day!
