For a musician this is a crack house great selection and knowledgeable staff if you can’t find it here you might not find it anywhere
Great selection and good quality vinyl.
I love this store. Such a wide selection of genres. Staff is always friendly.
I really enjoyed my visit to The Music Box. I live in the next county over to the east (Santa Rosa) and it’s quite a drive for me to travel to the store. I was looking for vinyl and they had exactly what I was looking for: older rock, especially from the 80’s. There is a large section of very good quality albums priced 3 for $10.00. they do sell CD’s and DVD’s but I did not search through those.
It has a lot to choose from and the staff were cool
Ok good
I just want to make everyone racism still exist. I do business with a lot of people and I decided to check this one place out called the “Music Box”. I called before even going in. And when I arrived I was questioned about who I spoke with as is it was a no colored sign on the door and one of the jerks behind the counter even told me not to even take my records out because they are not interested and begin to repeat himself while my boyfriend was talking to the other guy who was trying to help. I will never step foot in this store again or even recommend anyone.
I’m very impressed with the layout of this store. They have more than enough items to view and purchase. The BIGGEST negative this place has going for it are the main reason you would go here- the prices. Man, everything in here overpriced. You are better off getting your CDs on eBay. Their prices are so high that every item wanted to purchase could be found cheaper anywhere else and that’s including the shipping. This place is like 25 years behind the times on pricing. Used CDs should be cheap, not full retail price when they were sealed.
Went to the store during normal business hours and the door was locked. Looked on Facebook and called the store number, there was no indication that they would be closed. I took my lunch break to go browse the store so, I guess I wasted it. The store looks super cool so, I hope I can swing by one day in the future.

Great service and super fast shipping! Really a pleasure to do business with this shop!
Very attentive staff, great selection, and their beautiful Mccaw was a beautiful highlight! Definitely worth a visit!
Fantastic store. Very friendly atmosphere with helpful staff and lots of nice instruments. I’m probably gonna buy my next guitar here when that time comes.
Got a buzzing nut changed. They said it would be 2 weeks before they could get to it. They finished it 2 months later. Got it back with a new nut but, due to poor cutting, still buzzing. I took it to Tringa’s and they fixed it and more.
The people at this store are super friendly and it’s a very nice store, but I’m amazed that they considered this nut job to be up to anyone’s standards
I love the people at Blues Angel! Always professional and friendly with great service. I live in Fort Walton Beach but always enjoy the BA experience.
Those are great people with great service!!!
This store has been around for a long time, I have gone many times and have purchased quite a few pieces of gear. The last few years though I have received terrible and condescending service from the employees, especially Jacob, blonde hair with glasses. Jacob has actually tried to talk me out of purchasing items on several occasions. When I bought my PRS he asked repeatedly why do I need a full scale? Why would that matter, I’ve played guitar for years I know what I want, that is why I picked that guitar, “NOT” because I want to be questioned by some music store clerk. Thanks for your condescending opinions Jacob, because of you this business has lost a loyal customer…
Side burns guy is weird and mean, made fun of my friend because he was new.
My husband recently bought a guitar and rented music equipment for our wedding reception spending well over 500$. So earlier this week we went into the store to buy a drum set to support local business, but we wanted to try out the set before we bought it. when you walk into the store you can clearly see rooms set up for lessons and to try out music equipment before you buy it which we have done in the past.
We talked to a salesman who is bald with a beard who works in the rental section who was incredibly rude. When my husband asked if we could go into the drum room and test the drum kit before we buy one, he rudely informed my husband that we could try the drum set for kids in the corner. My husband asked the sales associate if we could check out the kit in the room with the drums and this time he walked us over to the room showed us the set and said these are not for anyone to play on and we could not try them out. Why are they in your lesson/ practice room if nobody plays them?
Dealing with this rude gentleman was very unfortunate because we give blue angel a lot of business. We have shopped at Blue Angel Music for a couple of years and buy music equipment from them on a regular basis. Now because of this rude sales associate and the way we were treated we will take our business to GUITAR CENTER in Pensacola

Have gotten two Alto saxophones, a guitar, a trumpet, and rented a tenor sax from here. Absolutely adore their inventory! If you’re looking for a high end instrument, or even instrument repairs, I highly recommend! The only downfall is the price that is occasionally charged, but it comes hand and hand in owning a high end instrument with specific needs, definitely need to remind myself to take a picture of the saxophone I purchased in 8th grade. Now an upcoming senior, my saxophone looks practically brand new! (I own a Selmer SAS280 La Voix II, with a black and gold key finish)
Staff is always helpful. They rent instruments for those taking band in area schools. Rental program is affordable too.
We are using them for my son’s band. They were helpful in the few things we had going on. Everyone there was super helpful could not have ask for more. They have instruments, books and parts.
100% satisfaction
Knows there stuff easy finance.
But expensive.
Very knowledgeable staff. Wecolming as soon as you go in. Smaller selection of instruments but great.
This is a great shop with friendly staff, but sometimes the wait is too long.
Too expensive
They said “oh we can’t fix your flute because it is a hunter we don’t work on those
Bought a clarinet from them for 1,111.94 was on sale originally 1900. A year later tried to trade it in. They offered 75$. They services this clarinet as well. Upgraded mouth piece. Long story short bad customer service owner wouldn’t even talk to us. Said he had lots of inventory but we saw none in store. Went to Schmitds and they offered a fair price for this and gained a customer. They were extremely nice. He said he gets a customer a week come in mad at these guys. 75$ smh.
I’m so glad they reopened. This is a great place for the music minded to shop.
Get music things. Staff are great.
Meh. Limited selection.
It’s alright. The selection is a little bland and basic but it’s Guitar Center! Don’t mind coming in and checking out what they have just hope in the future they get some better keyboards and drums mainly synthesizers workstations and high end drums like DW Drums and pearl Master series!!!
Staff were friendly sort of people. Selection is fantastic if you are not a southpaw….hardly any left-hand guitars or basses, what a shame some of the best musicians were lefties…..no offense right-handed folk. Other than that, it’s a good store, well except for all the racket some of customers are calling music these days (Hey, I can bring some knarley feedback with best of them but come on!)….
GPS stopped working
I ordered a guitar on march 30th that said “in stock and ready to ship” and here we are 13 days later still being told maybe in a few more days. This was after many phone calls, chats, and messages including a phone call on the 9th where I was told the guitar was literally on a truck to ups as we speak and I’d get a tracking number via email that night. Only to call today (2days later) to check on the tracking number to find that was a lie also. Finally cancelled and bought somewhere else. It will be here Wednesday. 🙂
Service was very, very slow. Selection was great.

The family that owns and operates this music studio are amazing and I couldn’t think of a better family to receive music lessons from. Josh Kaye teaches both of my daughter’s guitar, my oldest on the electric and my youngest on the acoustic. I have always believed that music in and of itself is therapeutic for the soul but having such positive and caring people being the teachers impacts people in an almost spiritual way. You are not going to find a music business anywhere that not only gives the gift of music but truly cares for each and every one of their students as this family does.
Ron Kaye’s Music Instruction has been a great place for my son to learn to play Ukulele. Everyone is super sweet and patient with my son. They have helped not only teach my son how to play music but has given him a whole new confidence! If you are looking for the best music lessons make sure to check out Ron Kaye’s Music Instruction.
My granddaughter has been a student at Ron Kaye for 8 1/2 years now! We are so very happy with the education she has received and the advancements she has made on the piano! She has competed in talent competitions and done very well. The instruction she receives is not only how to play the piano and the theory involved, but also, knowledge of the great composers of the classics. As my granddaughter has grown over the years, we have also watched the children of the Kaye family grow and mature into great teachers like their parents. The Kaye’s are a wonderful Christian family and we would recommend them to anyone interested in developing their talent, no matter what instrument you choose to play.
This place is the pits! They are more interested in making money than teaching the kids how to play an instrument. My son took piano there, but yet was never able to play on a piano – only on an electric keyboard because they don’t want to spend the money to have the piano tuned. Also, he was small and needed to use the bathroom and they refused. We had to take him to a store to use the bathroom. The place is dirty and in an unsafe area. Mr. Kaye is a total jerk and has no people skills. Their recital was a joke. Don’t waste your time – find another music teacher.
Owned by two of the most wonderful people on the planet. You owe it to yourself to stop by
Top notch instructors. Great people in general.
This is one helluva couple! Whose fun-loving, yet professional environment will make it hard for you to leave. The quality of sound and work rivals with the best of them, so prepare to LOVE your experience!

A really great place for all your musical needs. Keeps getting better every time I go back.
Nate is the best music shop owner I’ve ever known in my 20 years of being a musician. He took great care of my gear and the pricing is extremely fair. He can even compete with the internet pricing and big box stores. I am signing up my son for drum lessons and my daughter for violin soon. Great people and the selection is superb! 2 years later this place is even better!
Our son has been taking guitar lessons from Nate @ ARC for almost five years. On numerous occasions we have sought Nate’s guidance on guitar and gear purchases and set-ups. With the recent addition of recording capabilities, ARC is truly a full service music store. If Nate doesn’t have it in stock, he will do everything in his power to find it for you. Whether you are an aspiring or experienced musician, do yourself a favor and check out ARC Music & Sound in Gulf Breeze.
I’m honestly shocked at all of the good reviews this place has. This is a guitar shop, not so much a versatile music shop as I had originally anticipated; and they let that be known as soon as I started to inquire about flute accessories and information. The guy was unfriendly and short saying, “we really only work on guitars here” and seemed disingenuous and annoyed that I was even there asking about stuff for a flute. I’m appreciative that I was able to leave with a little something of a cleaning kit but, I have never felt so unwelcome in a shop like that before and will not be going to this “music store” again. They should probably change the sign to “guitar store” in the near future to avoid anymore awkward, uncomfortable encounters.
Charlie did an amazing job at our reception! Loved how we could choose songs and input the timeline into his system beforehand. He had a great feel of the room! My MOH talked about a song during her speech and he played the song immediately after without us even prompting him – brilliant! Highly recommend.
We hired DJ Charlie Barnes for our wedding reception. Best decision ever! I was very indecisive and had a hard time choosing any music for the reception. Charlie kept the music going and seamlessly matched the progression of our party. Even though my “schedule” was totally thrown off, he made sure to check with me throughout the event to make sure everything was done how I wanted. Thank you Charlie, for making our big night so memorable!
Charlie had spectacular reviews, which is why we went with him. And it was the best decision! He had a seamless process for song requests and payments! He was extremely professional and made things very easy through wedding planning! I was a procrastinator and didn’t get him my final music list until the last day, but he had everything and it all went so smooth! He was wonderful as an MC! And kept the crowd informed, engaged and all without going over the top! It was perfect! The music for the reception was like he tapped into my Spotify and played ALL of my favorite songs (most which were the grooms favorite too!) he read the room, played slow songs when appropriate and kept the energy up! He even played my parents song twice in a row after my dad missed the first one while he was in the bathroom! I cannot recommend him enough! He made our day the best! Wedding was on 4/28/23 at Emerald Grande.

Great service, Very helpful employees,
Good selection of instruments and gear.
Very intelligent people. They do 110percent.
Excellent experience
Love it here
It is a good small shop with everthing a person needs for music
Good for stringed instruments. They messed up my daughter’s flute, though.
My one time teacher could teach the basic but did not know how to play on my instrument. The owner charged me for a whole month of lessons for my one time lesson. Did he need the money that bad?
Dropped off a American Fender Strat Highway One HSS to get set up and get a fresh set of string. They lowered the action to low so now I have fret buzz on the low E just picking the string and fret buzz all the way down the neck on the low E and the A string. Pickups are way to low still. The bridge (closest to neck) pickup on the low E side is almost flush with pick guard still. Mid pickup is in the same place, and the pickup on the humbucker closest to the tremolo is still tilted at an angle. The tremolo is almost completely flush with the guitar. I can lift the whammy bar maybe a 1/4 inch at best before its flush with the guitar with no more room to work. And, as far as pushing it down maybe an inch before I start to feel to much tension. I’ve seen on line where people have a whole lot more give on the whammy bar almost being able to push it as far down where its nearly touching the guitar.

Worked with Fabio on a track the other day. He was suggestive and very proficient. The end result was actually better than I had originally expected. I look forward to working with him on future projects and would request him to anyone.
I can truly say my experience with Fresco Recording was more than just tracks at a studio. It was like a second home . Willing to work with you not the least bit pushy when it comes to in studio time (but don’t be late) . Try this experience just 1 time ……trust it won’t be your last .
