Great service, selection, prices and advice. Friendly and helpful staff.
Hello my mom was wondering if we could go and take my clarinet to get it cleaned it has these green stuff on the keys.
Great music shop with a good selection of instruments and highly skilled staff. They offer cleaning and repair services for most instruments and are very reasonably priced. They also have a large private instructor section, again with an exceptionally talented pool of musicians who can offer assistance from beginners to advanced players looking to hone their skills even further. I highly recommend the Horn Section if you are new to the area and are looking for a place to fill your musical needs.
It has almost everything you could need for your instrument but doesn’t have a very wide selection for mouthpieces
I had a freak accident with my trumpet and had to take it to the shop. A classmate of mine was kind enough to take it down to the horn section for repairs. It took a little bit over 4 weeks because I did not purchase the horn there. The staff was nice when I came and picked up my horn. They did an amazing job doing a basic repair on my horn. There is still some cosmetic damage, but overall, the horn plays well again. I recommend the Horn Section for their professionalism and high quality work. Thanks Horn Section!
Friendly, offer one on one lessons, kids love Tiki the dog.
You’d think when you’re paying $25 a month for a used plastic clarinet you’d at least get decent customer service. I was told that my clarinet, that had been damaged and sounded awful since the moment I opened it, was extremely damaged (obviously) and when she asked what I did to it I told her I had no idea as I’d barely played it and it was this way when I opened the case when I received it. She then told me “Think hard honey because all our instruments are shipped in perfect condition.” Clearly untrue. I will not be giving business to this company again. Very overpriced and rude.
Edit:
As I’m reading through others reviews I see many people have had this same issue with the same woman I had an issue with. I hope the owner notices this and takes proper action.
Ordered an instrument, charged for instrument, after 2 weeks and multiple calls and sitting on hold for 45 mins was informed they have no idea when I would receive my instrument. And my refund will take 3-4 weeks.
We now purchase our supplies and music books online because of the rude older sales lady. Sad to see other reviews posted about her and she still works there.
The Love Hut is a wonderful place… the owners are really fair… nice … teach you.. and have Drum Circles and other things available I love The Love Hut..
Like it
Very cute store found what i was looking for
The place was kind of of the beaten path but really cool. They have fair trade items. They have hand made jewelry and art work. I would recommend that you take the time to check them out.
Great prices, nice handmade fair trade items

Address: 3000 W New Haven Ave, West Melbourne, FL 32904 , Melbourne Beach , Florida , United States
Great selection and professional advice. Family owned and operated and they are always willing to discount your purchase.
Great selection and very friendly and helpful people.
Very friendly and helpful. Kids got great knowledge about everything they were interested in and made an informed decision on what they wanted. Great experience, Great small business, loved it.
Gene and…Kevin? are cool guys. I get a bit of a push-to-sell vibe from Gene, but that’s no surprise. Got to make money to eat and grow the business. Wish they had a proper luthier in-store and maybe a sound test room, but lot of good selection for merchandise.
Knowledgeable
Live music? Wow
Came looking for a case for an odd-sized guitar, found a live sit-in jam session, how delightful.
Owners were friendly and knowledgeable. My case was out of stock, he was happy to order more in. All in all, a great little shop.
Buyer beware! Southern charm is lathered on heavy, but is it appropriate to represent used instruments as new? Martin 000 out the door with taxes AND a case (the deal sweetener) for $1395? Seriously? I bought a used J 45 from them 3 years ago when I was young and foolish and ended paying $2000, out the door, taxes and a case (the sweetener) included. Fool me once, shame on me… Buyer beware!
My first few visits to this store were great. Gene is very knowledgeable and eager to make you a happy customer. On my last visit however it was a different story. I went in to buy a couple sets of guitar strings and was blown away. I’m guessing it was Gene’s son working that day which was November 4th the day after the elections. He charged me $10 per set and I wanted two sets. When I asked why such a big price increase his answer was because the minimum wage law was passed. I think the most I’ve ever paid was around $8. There’s nothing wholesale about this place with prices like that. I went online and bought three sets of the same strings for $13. I understand that small businesses are hurting and try to buy local when I can but that’s price gouging right there. They just lost me for a customer and I’ll tell my musician friends about this.
Mostly used gear. Everything is overly priced. The second you walk in the is trying to sell you a 3000 dollar guitar that he’s will to take half off of and and a story to go with it.
7. Melbourne Beach Market
Address: 302 Ocean Ave, Melbourne Beach, FL 32951 , Melbourne Beach , Florida , United States
Amazing beer and soda selection. All of the deli food is amazing! The employees treat you like family.
Great food, meats, deli, pizza, desserts, wine with great service. I don’t live in Melbourne but my Mom does and she shops here all the time and we stop here every time we come to town.
Great deli, especially Mediterranean options.
Looks new-ish.
Sometimes stop for lunch or snacks on my Home from fishing. They have good pizza
Boa comida para levar em porções ou comer no local mesmo.
They have some interesting finds but everything is really overpriced in this store.
We were so happy to find this place on our honeymoon. The only thing that is poor about the store is that they sold a pair of sunglasses that turned my husband’s nose and ears red, and they would not give me a refund. The food selection and wine and beer selection is really great for such a small place. My recommendation is to avoid buying any non-consumable because they apparently sell low quality products that they won’t stand by.
Spent $32 on pieces of cakes and pies, they were all horrible. Told the man who waited on us to put coconut cake in a separate container (one in our party is allergic), he moved the coconut cake to another container then put the other cakes and pies in the container with flakes of coconut in it. We ended up throwing away everything. Meats don’t look good either, probably just a good place to buy non perishable items and alcohol.

My son started with the children’s educational program and absolutely loved it. Learning the basics was so fun, even I looked forward to the classes. He then graduated to piano lessons and has taken them with Miss G for several years. She understands the children so well and works patiently with them to make them the best musicians they can be.
Georgia Germond is one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met. She puts passion and love into everything she does from teaching children to play piano to writing her own grammy nominated music. Georgia has been extremely influential in my life, encouraging me to write my own music and become a local artist. I’m forever grateful for Little House of Music for introducing me to music!
Amazing teacher! Miss G is so patient and encouraging! My daughter has only been playing for 3 months and I’m so impressed with her progress! My daughter is confident in her piano playing skills which makes me so happy. I would recommend Miss G as a piano teacher for a student of any age.
10. The Learning Station
Address: 640 E New Haven Ave, Melbourne, FL 32901 , Melbourne Beach , Florida , United States
My daughter absolutely loves their music. We moved to Florida this past Sunday and the whole way all she could think about was that she would be close by! Hopefully we can attend a concert!!
No longer here. Store has closed.
Agressive in response when questioning a post. Aggressive and argumentative when a correction was posted. Inappropriate post when responding to inquiries. I lost respect for this group. They are not as they portray themselves. Their music will not be played by me anymore.

Address: 4900 N Wickham Rd suite 106, Melbourne, FL 32940 , Melbourne Beach , Florida , United States
Jeff at the store was amazing. He looked into my sons broken guitar string and notified me that it did not require new strings, just tightening. He even went the extra mile to tune all the strings. He wasn’t in it for the money, just great quality of service care. You don’t see this level of customer service anymore. Jeff rocks!!
Great place. Locally owned. Go visit. Get a guitar. Rock on.
I love this music store. Vaughn was very knowledgeable. Thank you Vaughn..I hope I spelled your name correctly.
Nice place. A lil on the pricey side. They have good, knowledgable sales people. My complaint deals with their service. Maybe it was just my luck, but I brought in an item to get serviced and was told I would get a call when it was done cuz it had to be sent out. I did not get a call. Later..2 days after I was told it would be done.. I went to pick it up. It was finished, but due to me being in a hurry, i didnt fully check out the item before I left the store. I got home and found some problems with what was supposed to be fixed. I was able to fix most of the issues myself.. I’d consider going elsewhere if you need something like a guitar setup done..
Four stars because the owner rectified this issue and as far as i know, subsequent customers did not have this problem anymore. Props to you for actually caring!
One star because piano instructor Suzanne is knowledgeable and good instructor overall, so she gets the star. Issue is the owner seems to have an issue in his vocabulary or he is very dishonest. He recently started forcing students to pay a “deposit” equivalent to 2 classes. His excuse, “if you dont show up to class, we use the deposit to pay for the instructor’s time;” however, the classes are PRE-PAID which means, that the class is already paid for. When i argued this with him, he said, “well, we actually use that deposit for two extra classes when you choose to quit.” Well, i already chose to quit, so first of all, why would i want two more classes? an entire month is always PRE-PAID too, so no need for “deposit” since classes have been PAID IN ADVANCE. When i signed up, i told them, i was using 4 classes my mother gifted me. They made her leave a 2 class deposit; even though, again, she had PRE-PAID for the four classes. I told them i was only there for the 4 classes. So when i went to my last class, the owner said, “I dont give back deposits, worse case i could give you store credit.” Hmmm… DEPOSIT??? a deposit is something that is given back subject to terms. In apartment, if nothing is broken at end of lease, deposit is given back, in a car rental if the car is not damaged, etc. He is forcing people to prepay every month, AND prepay two classes that they have to take when they no longer want to take classes. Completely dishonest, misleading and rude.
Has some good stuff, but not a great selection. Very cheap or very expensive not much middle
Hours on their website and on their store front say they are open until 8pm. Drove over and arrived there at 6:15pm and they were closed. No explanation why they were closed early. Holiday closing dates listed on the store front sign did not include this date. Wasted time. Should have called first.
People were nice enough, but what kind of Music Store can’t replace tubes on an amp? Seems more geared toward lessons and selling stuff than repairs or service. Also not open till 12, which probably makes sense.
Had been looking at a particular guitar for some time and finally purchased the guitar. Once home, I changed the strings (Elixir) and then played the guitar. I noticed barre cording was particularly difficult as the neck was out of proportion to the width (of my other guitars). I took the guitar back the next day and was immediately informed they do not refund on returns, but do give a store credit. I was blown away (as it was the very next day I returned the instrument…with new strings on it). They pointed to the small sign near the register (No Returns, Store Credit) and the small print at the bottom of the invoice. So, I looked around for another guitar. On the rack they had a new Guild which was around the same price (a bit more) and I decided I’d take it and pay the dif. When I was checking out, my girlfriend noticed a crack in the side of the guitar near the guitar strap button. When I pointed out the crack, the entire staff looked like a ‘deer in the headlights’, that they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar; they all knew about the crack but were going to sell me the guitar without telling me (had I not pointed it out). Can’t trust these guys at all. I did use the store credit and took the original guitar, maybe one day replacing or repairing the neck. Again, BEWARE, NO REFUNDS!
12. Premier Music
Address: 1389 Cypress Ave, Melbourne, FL 32935 , Melbourne Beach , Florida , United States
Frank campione is great to work with when buying pianos! The piano teachers at premier are amazing. Mimi and David rock!
Great experience. I got my dream piano finally at a very reasonable price. I can talk about how friendly frank is and how he supports the customer. But let’s face it at the end of the day that’s the price that matters. I got an awesome deal and I was suspicious about it until now. It’s three months and I can tell the piano is just perfect.
Frank and crew moved a baby grand piano from one house to another with ease, professionalism, and speed. He knows what he is doing and took excellent care during the entire process. I really felt like I should have paid more for his services. Highly recommended!
I went here once and bought guitar strings and all was great I went back a few times to look at buying a guitar but they were never open and had a sign by appointment only but never had any luck making one
I purchased a piano here…kind of felt like I was getting the “bum’s rush” – that I needed to hurry up and buy right now. I didn’t trust/believe what the owner said..Be very careful if you shop here. Sadly, you must remember : let the BUYER BEWARE.
Horrible experience: Very pushy, very edgy and wanted to up-sell me in spite of my budget. Definitely felt “hustled”. Did not feel like a respected customer here. Will look for our piano elsewhere.
13. Town of Melbourne Beach
Address: 507 Ocean Ave, Melbourne Beach, FL 32951 , Melbourne Beach , Florida , United States
Words cannot express how I have witnessed my son come out of his shell during music therapy. It is amazing to see him so excited and happy after every music therapy session. He loves attending, this is the far best therapy I truly believe in. Thank you for offering this therapy, I am greatly appreciative in what you do. And Rob you are simply amazing with getting everyone working together in class. I will tell any parent, to come see for yourselves. I really never knew music could make such an impact.
My son is autistic and sometimes it’s difficult for him to express his feelings or needs. Music therapy with Rose has been a Godsend! J is happier and more expressive. He looks forward to every weeks session and then runs straight to his keyboard or guitar at home to play the music he’s learned or is working on. Rose looks up the music he’s interested in and teaches him to play it! Sometimes they just “free” play music and it’s amazing!
I am constantly recommending Florida Music Therapy to others and will continue!
Florida Music Therapy changed lives!!
Rob and Mackenzi at Florida Music Therapy have given my son a voice when he had no voice. They have given him an outlet to express himself and come into his own. I will forever rave about the work they do here. They are amazing and so loving. He looks forward to coming every single week
16. Atlantic Strings Violin Shop
Address: 1379 W New Haven Ave, Melbourne, FL 32904 , Melbourne Beach , Florida , United States
Low prices. Knowledgeable staff, great customer service. One of your staff members went above and beyond recommending me my first instrument and when I chose the electric acoustic on the shelf, I was ready to pay $300 for it, until the owner saw a cosmetic scratch on the instrument and offered to knock it down to $250. If this isn’t good customer service, I don’t know what is.
The violin plays great for the low price. Even my teacher liked it.
We purchased our first violin here for my 5 year old. They were very helpful explaining what we needed and what options are available.
The staff at Atlantic Strings are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They have helped me restore a few rescue violins and turn them into quality instruments.
Always a great place to visit. Staff are helpful and knowledge. Luthier’s are expert.
Good choices helpful
Have wide range of string instruments in various price ranges.
Was happy with work they did on my violin.
Friendly and helpful staff. Not intimidating at all, which was my concern in first going there.
Overpriced
I bought and rented quite a few instruments from Atlantic Strings over many years for my kids, even a piano way back when it also sold pianos. I happened to need something for myself today and was very disappointed. I asked if I could buy a bass bag, but return it the next day if it didnt work out. They said no and made me feel embarrassed and stupid for asking. Now I will buy the same case for 30 dollars cheaper on Amazon and never buy anything from Atlantic strings again. Way to lose a longtime customer!
I bought a viola from this company, ended up being too big for my daughter. Took it back they have a no refund policy and don’t let them fool you about the trade in policy. It was traded in for a viola that wasn’t even close to the original one I bought. The bridge on this viola broke within two months. They just traded it out again on another one and this
one doesn’t even have a quality sound to it. They are a horrible run
company. They could care less if their customers are happy with their
purchases. I would highly not recommend this to anyone.

Walked in as a new player and had the best experience! They have so much experience and knowledge too. Highly recommend!!!
This guy is freaking awesome, he’s the only one that I trust to work on my gear
Howe spent tons of time with us to ensure my son found the perfect guitar and amp. He put together a bundle of guitar, amp, and a Vamp…if you are looking to get an instrument, go to this place! Years of experience to help you is priceless.
t
Good time talkin’ shop with the owner(s)!
i called and asked about a guitar hook and the guy on the phone didnt even know what it was i had to explain to him what it was and i asked about a tuner for a special guitar and he said that it was the same tuning just an octave apart and that octave in the type of guitar has to be precise im not going to call or go there for my guitar needs.
did an ok job setting up my strat. Not a fabulous job but not a bad job.
I am not that pleased with their general attitude they always try to pass off the cheaper products to me. I would rather go to a music store that tries to educate me rather than one that tries to benefit from any stupidity I may have.
Tiny little place, not much to see unless you’re looking for overpriced foreign knockoffs
19. Savvy Vinyl Records
Address: 28 Laurie St, Melbourne, FL 32935 , Melbourne Beach , Florida , United States
I decided to take a drive north and check out a few of the record stores along the coast. This one is absolutely fantastic. The owner and her mother are really great, personable and fun. The shop is very well organized, and I found some really great albums. Definitely made the trip worth it! I will be back.
Great place! Went in there looking for a Asking Alexandria Record store day vinyl. I didn’t think they would have it since it only released 10 days prior to my visit but sure enough they had it in stock. Made my week! Great place, highly recommended!
Love this Record Shop, history of Vinyl and the musicians who record on this fantastic media!
Michelle a.k.a “Snap” is fabulous and I love her!!
Shop Savvy!
The owner was nice and she has a dog in the store who is adorable. She was friendly and asked if she can find anything for else or she’ll order and deliver it.
