Great service with personal care. Very knowledgeable and passionate about their instruments. Highly recommended.
We Met Mr. and Mrs. Winters after my daughter Phaedra went online to explored about getting an Cello. I really enjoyed the quality, the service, the selection and definitely the atmosphere. My Daughter is so happy to finally found the best Cello ever. They were great with the price. If not, I wouldn’t be able to afford it. They work along with us when it comes to appointment. We are so pleased on our purchased and their warranty is exceptional. Thank you so much to you both. Katrina works along with her husband that makes it %100 all the way.
Amazing repairs and the Luthier is really direct with what he’s doing. Beautiful shop and atmosphere!
In my personal opinion owner is a narcissist. Extremely unprofessional and unethical in their interactions would strongly not recommend. The most unprofessional business owner I have ever interacted with.
When consigning my violin and selling my bow I ran into some minor issues with cashing a check.
1.) When calling the business and trying to find an alternative resolution the owner tried to extract money from me falsely stating that a check costs 150$ to cancel, acted in a condescending and haughty manner as if his time was the most valuable thing in the world. Tried to and attempted to extract money from me and weirdly accused me of trying to cash a check twice. During my actual interactions with him in person- several times berated employees for taking too long to inspect the violin, consistently displayed a contemptuous, haughty attitude.
2.) They failed to advertise the violin online for the actual consignment. Owner was very aggressive in his pursuit of me consigning the violin probably because he has no intention of actually trying to sell it. When expressing concerns about the contract they failed to make any alterations, and after retaining an attorney it is abundantly clear that they took advantage of me.
These are extremely dishonest and unethical people and I would steer clear from doing any form of business with them.
Enthusiastic staff, great selection, however people need to know about the billing department. My advice to anyone dealing with the billing staff is DO NOT give them any other credit or debit card numbers to cover your monthly bills. They will use whatever card they can with or without your permission.
Had an issue with my “real” credit card that I provided for billing purposes when I signed my contract and used my debit card to cover my monthly payment in the past. Fast forward to today, where I emailed their billing department stating that I had some financial issues and would be able to forward the whole payment to them within a week (my next payday). 45 minutes after sending the email, I look at my online banking and find out that they had already debited the funds from the debit card today presumably because they payment wouldn’t be fast enough.
I understand that they are running a business, and that we are contracted for the monthly payment. However, most of the people renting instruments are parents renting them for their children, and parents occasionally fall on hard times. A business that thrives on parents business shouldn’t make them have to choose between a monthly payment to them and their light bill… oh wait, I didn’t have any choice. Just taking the funds from any account that they might have held onto the debit card number from is devastating to families in some circumstances. Currently I will be left with next to no money until my next payday.
I am considering returning the instrument immediately because of this, if only to get them out of my life.
2. Enhanced Healing Music
Address: 1078 NE 94th St, Miami, FL 33138 , Miami Shores , Florida , United States
My daughter has been taking piano lessons from Miss Jane since she was five years old and she is now 17! Jane expects excellence from her students, but she is also very patient and understanding! I credit Miss Jane with the fact that my daughter has continued with piano for so long!
I’m not sure who loves Miss Jane’s music classes more, my toddler or me. At home, she regularly starts singing, dancing, playing instruments, doing hand gestures or talking about friends from class. We’ve met lots of neighborhood kids her age, and the classes help teach social skills using the activities. If it works for your schedule, the unlimited package is a great deal. Highly recommended.
We love Miss Jane! We’re so lucky to have her so close in our neighborhood. I’ve taken my son to her toddler and preschooler classes, and now my daughter to the baby class. It’s a sweet, fun, low-key group class (and a nice way to meet other parents). Planning to keep taking my kids for many years to come.
8. C.A.M Baz Normal Music Store
Address: NW 119th St, Miami, FL 33167 , Miami Shores , Florida , United States
Beautiful people with all I could want for really anything musical.
The best music store in Dade County!
Great customer service and affordable prices. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Good customer service
I bought my Bass here, and also my case, strap, and quarter inch cords. They can even fix up your instruments if your in need.
Not so sure about this one, stuck in the past…
La recomiendo tiene buen precios
Was about to spend over $1000 on speakers but there was a discriminatory “wear a mask” sign on the front door so I left without stepping inside as I don’t support businesses that are run by dolts. Masks create more problems than they solve.
10. The Guitar Nook
Address: 13744 Biscayne Blvd, North Miami Beach, FL 33181 , Miami Shores , Florida , United States
Jonny is the heart of this beautiful quaint retail store in the North Miami area. Conveniently located, they offer lessons, guitar tech/repair, and lessons. I recently taken the guitar up again after a hiatus, and this place is just perfect for me! I recommend anyone who has a passion for music, and for guitar to visit this gem of a place. Jonny was able to setup my Fretlight, and my Steinberger guitars (two instruments that are not the easiest to work with) perfectly. 5+ stars.
I really like this store. The reps are knowledgeable and they do a great job on my guitar. You guys are great.
Best guitar setup I’ve ever had! I brought in one of my guitars which had a severe case of “Floyd Rose-itis,” the bridge was off and it just wouldn’t stay in tune no matter what I did. Johnny got it perfectly back in tune and intonated. The Floyd Rose bridge is now positioned perfectly to the body and I’ve been playing it for a day, dive bombs and all, and it’s just rock solid and tuned to perfection. He did a superb job; a total pro at what he does. If you need a setup done, this is THE place to go. Thanks Johnny for all your help!
3 stars because it’s mostly a Fender shop, small, cozy, nice, but Fender
Much better than Guitar Center. But unfortunately they don’t repair amplifiers.
One sales rep was extremely dismissive.
I gave them a second chance with a repair. The second rep was nicer, but misquoted me on the repair at a very low price. After doing the work, he told me it was more.
He compromised.
Unfortunately, the work (saddle/intonation set) was done without glueing the saddle at all, so it was never actually set, the work was never actually done. I basically got a glorified string change.
Use to fix all my guitars there, and buy guitar accessories plus many guitar lessons for my son. I referred many people there and my son did too. Until one day I trusted their judgment on an electric guitar case by Fender. It broke in less than a week and now it’s still falling apart. I went for an exchange; the answer: “Sales are final” -showing me the sign. “Contact Fender, that’s not our problem now” I tried to contact Fender, no answer so far. I tried to help their small local businesses; now I buy online!
Absoluterly terrible guitar tech… Hired him to re-work the sottering on my guitar. I showed him the back open so that he could have a solid idea of how difficult it would be and that no surprises would show up. First we agreed on $40 cash (which is not only more expensive than guitarcenter but I would assume he wanted cash so that he could avoid the owners cut). He said that he would call me in two days max… I called the third day and said that it was $50. Also said that the guitar was done yesterday and so I went to pick it up. He shows that the potentiometer (volume knob) wasn’t working and that he didn’t really check it…. after suttering the electronics… Anyway he says that he’ll work on it and the day after I pick up the guitar (without the old potentiometer) and once I start recording with it, the know feels super loose… low and behold the picture provided…
Listen I love competition and its the main reason why I went here. But do yourself a favor and avoid the guitar tech….
Was visiting from Tampa loved the selection and vibe and staff was super cool!!
Excellent store
Probably the best record store in Miami. HUGE selection and great prices.
I had the best cassette pull I’ve ever had here. But my only issue was that it was a bit of a hassle to pay. My dad and I had to walk around and ask someone to help us ring out. I feel like the staff can be a bit more attentive when customers are in the store
Fomos muito bem atendido.
A great record store in Miami, I could spend a whole day in here flicking through the vinyl.
Update – Response to owner
Michelle the owner is mad they are bad at their job and called me to say my review is unfair and wack, I told him his service was wack. I still think they’re thieves since I haven’t received anything but lies from Michelle one and Michelle two.
Excuses
They were closed Monday. They had more days to fill the order.
The postal services is really bad at their job. Way to spit on essential workers.
It’s not his fault the other Michelle gave me wrong information. Can’t take responsibility for his workers.
Original post
THEIR EXCUSE WAS THEY WERE CLOSED ON MONDAY. ITS BEEN 4 DAYS, THERES NO EXCUSE. HORRIBLE SERVICE.
I’ve been trying to get a response for an order for 4 days and when I got someone they said ” I’ll get it whenever I decide to send it” that was 2 days ago after I paid priority shipping. I don’t care for any excuse I want my money back from you thieves. DONT BUY HERE!
FOUND SOUND is far greater only a couple miles away and they were able to complete my order within the time technique garbage hadn’t/hasn’t.
1st Update
Spoke to Michelle and he blames their negligence on the US POST and claims I should receive the package any day now eventhough priority shipping was already paid for next day shipping.
2nd Update and response on top.
Michelle the owner is mad they are bad at their job.
La atención al cliente es muy pobre, sobretodo el cashier,mala actitud para ayuda
No make sence, thy said in this app. “OPEN AND CLOSE AT 8PM” I’m here and is close in top of that you call this guys and the answer machine do not allow tou to leave a messages…. Very Umprofessional… but I know I have the solution on my hands… Don’t even try to come Again
I went on the service call at this place. I wasn’t to fix their a/c. I noticed that they have tons of old records from way back, dj. gears that fit your dj. set equipment, ECT. Cool place, y’all check ✔️ it out.
Seems to be closed down and the number is out of order too.
Having worked with him before, Mr. Vazquez did a great job of teaching and being patient with me, despite my limited skills at the time. I prefer a one-on-one teaching approach, so this was exactly what I needed. That said, I personally learned a lot and did better than I anticipated. Thank you for a job well done.
My daughter started taking lesson with Mr. Gottlieb-Vasquez at the tail-end of June and over a period of 2 months, she made great progress . Mr. Vasquez is a professional in this field and has a lot of patience to teach, which is a plus. I highly recommend Mr. Vasquez to anyone who is looking to learn the piano and most importantly, the right way.
He is the best!!!
I’ve know Eric for some time, and have learned more about music composition, appreciation, composer histories, teaching methodologies, etc. than I can remember! Nonetheless, I appreciate the source of knowledge he is. His love of the art is wide and deep. He is demanding in his expectations and standards, and this can be intense – but this is also the standard of anyone I’ve met with a love for classical music.
Demanding, but an excellent source of learning. I marked “Good Quality” above because of the love he has for music.
18. House Of Hits Recording Studio
Address: 300 NE 75th St Unit 112, Miami, FL 33138 , Miami Shores , Florida , United States
Best in the game hands down!!! Vinny completely changed my whole perspective on music. Number 1 very respectful and humble dude. He took his time to not only to coach but bring out the best in you as an artist. With House of Hits you don’t just get what you pay for it’s a complete experience! Mix and mastering is on a different level as well, tears literally came rolling down as he played back our track . If you’re ever in Miami and you’re looking for a studio, don’t hesitate hit up Vinny!!!!!!!!
It’s a bop definitely worth it
House of hits is da dope studio. The vibe is dope and the engineers are all on point.
Cool studio wish more was included for the high rates.
Customer Service was fine. If you’re a more conservative person certain things may not be your preference. But over all they’re ok
I’m not gonna act like it’s not a good studio. It is. Prices are okay. You’re paying for the appearance of the studio & the vibe. Gear is meh for the price you pay. Staff is cool. Studio supports abusive labor having the interns work crazy hour shifts. I was hoping to see the Owner to ask him what the intern program was like but I got my answers through someone else. Ok place but the morals of the people who run it should seriously be in question. Especially those young men working the front desk for hours and managing your studio for free.
Maybe the response will be “I didn’t see you in our schedule list” or whatever else to disregard my review.
Point is, okay studio. Abusive labor though.
Pls don’t go crazy on an intern when he’s not even getting paid..
Recording experience was good
Requires to pay for,A recording and publishing.
Customer service is terrible , lack of commutation. Unprofessional. vibes were way off. Felt uncomfortable didn’t even do the session I just let them keep the deposit. Not worth my time and maybe not yours

I loved my experience at world famous sound studios. Kenny boulders was my engineer the way he made my voice sound silky using the Neve1073 and the U87. The customer service was immaculate. Definitely recording all of my songs at WFSS!
Great enviroment,quiet,soft…profesional….highly recommended….you have questions,you have answers
Clean studio and professional crew great vibes all around
