Mike has been my teacher for a year now. He is the most patient, awesome and cool instructor you can find. If you want to learn how to play metal and solos the right way or to improvise and make stuff up or to get faster and shred that guitar CALL him now! do it !!
I’m grateful for the positive impact this instructor has had on my singing. Their commitment to their students is evident, and their teaching style is both effective and enjoyable.
The front staff works their butt off to make sure that scheduling works out in the best interest of both the student and instructors. There are a wide range of time slots and instructors to choose from, all of which come from university training, and most if not all are professional musicians who practice their craft when they aren’t joyfully teaching.
Guitar instructor Brandon gave a good lesson.
Jake, my guitar instructor at TR Music, has been a musical mentor. His knowledge and enthusiasm for music are contagious, making every lesson a memorable and enlightening experience.

Highly recommend this store great prices and always clean! The manager is always willing to help me out!
Easily the best Capital Pawn in Naples!! Best deals and super friendly staff
Great customer service willing to help, clean store and lots of merchandise to choose from.
Please people READ THIS.
went in this pawn shop to sell my gold oz round.
All I wanted was spot value or a little below(because they have to make something as well)
Gold ($1968oz right now)
They offered me $1300 dollars for my oz I legit laughed and walked out but before I did I said what there matrix is
They buy for 70 percent of spot and sell for 10 percent over thats what the guy told me.
never NEVER SELL YOUR METALS HERE EVER
They will rip you off there are 30 other places in naples that will give you 50 to 100 dollars off spot price
And silver oz too I said what would you buy an oz of silver from me for he said 15 dollars hahgaha silver is currently like 24oz
I’ve been to many pawn shops, this is by far the worst. I called and the woman, maybe a manager, sounded annoyed. I asked her how much I could get for a certain item that was never used and that I was on my way over, she told me a price and said okay. I show up after a 30 min drive and she asks for a receipt. I tell her I’ve never needed a receipt at any pawn shops I’ve been to and I’m confused. She smurks and says “Well if it’s new or almost new you need one”. I asked why she didn’t tell me over the phone before I left if she knew I was coming with something never used. She says “Well thats on you, you should have asked”. I said I told you it was never used and you said nothing about a receipt… Again with a smirk she said “Should have asked”. I don’t know her name but she was a larger set woman with dark hair. I never write these but she was so rude I had to. She low-balled me too as I went to another store and got more.

UPDATE
I had a problem with my ukulele (I’m a novice so not really a problem, just me being inexperienced), so I returned to the shop this morning and the gentleman behind the counter fixed my “problem” without making me feel like an idiot. So thank you Mr Gator Music. When it’s time for new strings, or my next ukulele, I’ll be back.
ORIGINAL POST OCTOBER 2020
I usually shop online but because of covid-19 I felt it more important to spend my money locally and help out a small business. I was greeted by a very friendly sales associate who spent all the time I needed to help me out and answer all my questions. The store is small and very nicely kept. I did indeed find what I was looking for and when it’s time for my third ukulele, I won’t hesitate to give my business to Gator Music.
Great food and fantastic service!!!
Excellent service. Dave is extremely knowledgeable and helpful to newbies and experts alike. He’s the only man I trust with my equipment.
Muy buen lugar para elegir la viola, por la calidad, variedad y atencion.
Big selection and in the ballpark prices!
Amazing Customer Service! Very Generous Owner Dave Is, He Fixed My Guitar Issue Within 2 Minutes For Free, Very Knowledgeable Of How Instruments Function. The Only Thing Is That It’s Not The Largest Selection If You’re Into Metal, But Great Place For Accoustic, Ukelele, Rock/Blues Ect.
Just called to ask about acoustic guitar rentals. Very rude and inconsiderate. Their website is not up yet, and there is no information on their Reverb site, so I asked for information. After less than helpful advice about rentals, I simply asked once more for the weekly price and he said “I can’t explain this to you again, there’s a lot of people waiting here.” and hung up on me right away. Sorry Gator Music Supply, that was terrible.
Owner has an attitude of a 10 year old
I was trying to purchase a new gituar for my boyfriend and online it says you are open until 4 but when i arrived i was greeted with a paper sign that says they have summer hours and they close at 2.

Christman music is incredible. Craig Christman, the owner, is so knowledgeable about the saxophone and can virtually help with anything, even other instruments! The store, although quaint, has a variety of sheet music, books, scores, reeds, mouthpieces, etc., for all sorts of instruments. Whatever you need, Christman will have it!
Excellent service!
It was a good experience they had what we needed
They had kind staff, but weren’t helpful at all.
I have no quarrel with the repair of my old guitar. My issue is that the price for repairs when I picked up my guitar was nearly 3 times the original estimate and I had no forewarning. I would have expected some notice that it was going to be more expensive than I had been led to believe. If it wasn’t for the sentimental value I would not have paid. So buyer beware. Get estimates in writing.
RESPONSE TO YOUR RESPONSE.
Your response to my complaint is not accurate. In fact, it doesn’t even sound like my interaction with you at all. I personally brought the guitar in and your front desk person went to get you. I told you I needed to replace the tuning pegs and would need a set of nylon strings. You said that would be around $40-50 dollars. You also indicated you may have do do some other repair and I told you that as long as it wasn’t more than $100 I was ok with it. The guitar is around 50 years old and I paid $25 used. It has sentimental value which is why I was trying to get it fixed. Your response really distorted our whole transaction. Had you informed me of your new estimate when I called your shop a couple of times to see if it was ready yet, I might have agreed. What I didn’t like was that I was put into the situation of paying significantly more than I expected, without notice. That’s not the way most businesses do business.
Friendly, helpful staff. A little tresure-trove of a music shop
No rating. Christman music stole my money. I knew nothing about microphones and speakers. My husband loves to sing so as a birthday gift from me to him I googled and found Christman music. Rated 5 star. I purchased… what I was told to be blue tooth and could play any music through this speaker. All lies! So sad. I was truly trying to help out the mom and pop business. I should’ve went to Walmart or Best Buy.
I absolutely hated the wait, and the quality of the shop. I most definitely do NOT recommend this to Naples.
I drove a hour to this store to buy a fender speaker that was clearly sitting right next to the counter but for some reason was told i couldn’t purchase instead they took my number and said they would which they never did…it’s sitting out on the floor price tag and all so i know i was turned away because the color of my skin because i sent my brother in law a hour later and the was ready to rang it up for him

Chief you did an amazing job you went above and beyond I gave you problems and you fix them for $200 I put new speakers in the cab they sound great you put a new board preamp and had to solder a 14 pin ribbon cable together by hand and you did an outstanding job the amplifier sounds better than ever with no cracks or buzzing graphic equalizer sounds better than ever with no crackling when you move the knobs up and down like before the amp I have had since I was a kid in the 90s and now it’s 2022 and sounds brand new great job thank you so much you deserve a raise if I had a million bucks I’d give it to you
Kind of hidden away.
Denny is awesome, the store has what I’ve wanted every time I walk in the door and the prices are great.
I Show up to drop off my axe off for a repair and dude walks out of the store. leaves me with another useless employee that clamed he worked there. The kid knew nothing about repairs, he did not answer the phone, all he did was strum the same old chords on a cheap guitar. Take your guitar and hard earned dollars elsewhere. Or to someone that cares.
Customer Service here does not exist. I walked out.
Terribly signage, couldn’t find it.
I went to guitar center to get a quote on how much it would cost me to get a pick up swapped out of my guitar and replace it with a seymor duncan jb humbucker. bc i dont have a soldering iron to solder to pick ups in myself. Guitar center quoted me 79$ for the pick up installation and the 70$ to carve out the wood to make room for the pick up. Now this isnt a difficult task if youve done it a few times so i looked online to see opinions on this and people were saying what a rip off the guy i go to charges 40$ for the pick up installation. So i decided to call Naples park music to get a quote hoping it would be less expensive and i could give a locally owned business some money. Plus naples park music is where i took guitar lessons when i first began playing in 2005. Well right when i asked about the project the man on the phone sounded annoyed like it was something he really didnt want to do, then when i asked how much it would cost roughly he said a couple hundred dollars.. idk im just upset and dissapointed, i really hope my mom wasnt getting ripped off when i took guitar lessons their when i was a kid. So it looks like im just going to buy a soldering iron and see if i can borrow a router from a friend. If not ill go back to guitar center even though im a big advocate on supporting our local businesses. I Was really hoping naples park music would charge around 100$ for the job though.

Mike and Heaven are the best! They perform on a regular basis for our residents. Music selection is awesome and perfect volume. An employee was getting married and they accommodated a special request on the fly. Mike and Heaven also created a musical workshop with a final interactive performance for the entire facility. It was fantastic! Lots of smiles and fun! Great people!!! The residents love them!
Super relaxing and friendly place to learn!
Love the owner! Very talented and relates well with others
Laura has a beautiful voice and is a superb performer. She is kind, gentle, and very professional. She is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend her services.
Absolutely delightful and extremely talented. We love having Laura sing and play w my mother. ❤️
We are so happy we found Laura after looking extensively for a guitar and singing teacher for our 6th grade son! She is very talented and works wonderful with kids!!

Store had great friendly service, the guitar tech Bobby P, was awesome, he helped me with an issue, explained everything that was gonna get done and answered questions. When I picked up my guitar and brought it home, it felt and played great, thank you!
Had 2nd guitar worked on by Bobby P., had an electronics issues, he fixed it and now it works perfect again! Cheers
Super inventory especially electrics. Competitive prices. Helpful staff.
I have to say the staff was much more wanting to help then any other time we have been in the store. I hope they can keep it up.
Came here for the first time. We were greeted at the door when we first walked in. The place is very organized and clean, mainly because it’s brand new. Inventory was well displayed.
Very helpful staff. They were able to guide my purchase with expert advice.
I purchase an electric guitar set for my daughter along with the class package, was told to call to schedule the classes, I called 4 times and was able to schedule two classes, I called these week to schedule the third class and was told that the scheduler will call me back and she did, just to tell me that there was a scheduled made for her and she missed the class. Nothing they can do about it because it is their policy and she is sure I was told about when the purchase was made. Very disappointed.
What a nightmare of an experience. Went to the grand opening event and signed up for lessons in order to get the free guitar. What they didn’t tell me was that the charges would be recurring. After being charged for the 2nd month without my consent I went in to discuss the matter. I was advised that I did sign off on that although they could produce no documentation. After being advised that my money wouldn’t be refunded, I cancelled the “membership”. But since I had already paid for March, I went ahead and scheduled lessons for my son. Well lo and behold he went in today for his 1st March lesson and they advised him that his lessons were cancelled at the end of February. This place is very poorly run. I’ll be headed down there tomorrow and will update.
Well I just retired and I thought as a gift to myself, with a push from the wife, I’d get myself a nice sounding electric guitar. I’ve been playing my j-45 for awhile now and thought something different for creativity sakes I’d look at what they have. I went in Monday for your president’s sale and tried a few, not many, hollow bodies. But I feel in love with the sound I heard coming from a young man playing a fender. I never owned a fender, candy apple red, with what appeared to be a maple neck?.. and I couldn’t tell if they were all single coil pick ups or was there a humbuckler in the mix? Couldn’t get no answers and no service, so I hung it back up and went home with nothing. So sad!
15. Super Anime Store – Naples
Address: 8793 Tamiami Trail E #104, Naples, FL 34113 , Naples Manor , Florida , United States
Cool spot with unique and rare collectables. Will be back!
Excited to have a new anime store locally!
My daughter is super into anime and this store had all the characters she was looking for! Katie was extremely helpful.
Cool store, just really far into east naples if your coming from lee county
Beware. Owner has an unleashed aggressive dog running around the store that almost attacked my 5 year old Daughter. Cashier cared less as well as the Owner sitting in the back.
don’t order online, it’ll never get to you, at least they gave me a full refund after 3 months of waiting and no emails letting me know the status. i
the fact is im warning people not to order because they won’t get it for months, the fact that you used my whole name shows what kind of person you are sir, I didn’t leave out that you gave me a full refund either. you’re crazy. you stated that “you think it’s here’ but you didn’t make sure only let me know if it was then it would be moved to the front of the queue. you had me waiting for quite a while only to come back and say “you think” for 3 months of waiting and being patient no contact to your first time customer says a lot and then to not make it right by adequately checking is just wrong.
The owner’s mini Schnauzer growled at my child not once, but TWICE. The dog was not leashed, and the experience left my child shaking and crying. When I brought the matter up to the owner, he just laughed in my face. Thanks for NOT caring about the well-being and safety of CHILDREN. Now I am a dog owner, and I love dogs, but I would never let my dog run up to a person unleashed and make a threatening noise, let alone toward an innocent child.
16. Dancing Fingers Studio
Address: 7095 Marconi Ct, Naples, FL 34114 , Naples Manor , Florida , United States
I am Canadian and I have been playing piano for 13 years. I have been taking lessons with Yelena for some time and I really appreciate her. She is very dedicated, always ready to teach me new songs. She adjusts to my needs and makes our meeting very pleasant and dynamic.
Je suis Canadien et je joue du piano depuis 13 ans. Je prends des cours avec Yelena depuis quelque temps et je l’adore. Elle est très dédiée, toujours prête à m’apprendre des nouveaux morceaux. Elle s’ajuste à mes besoins et rend notre rencontre très agréable et dynamique.
Yelena is an absolutely fantastic piano teacher. Our daughter took lessons from her (at Dancing Fingers Studio) from 2011 until 2021. Yelena consistently exhibited the excellent combination of technical skill, intuitive teaching ability, and the ability to build rapport with her students. The result for us is a daughter who not only plays very well, but will have a lifelong love of and appreciation for music. We were truly sad when Yelena moved out of state, but are glad to know she can share her knowledge and talent with those in her new hometown in Florida. I cannot overstate it when I write that we highly recommend her and Dancing Fingers Studio!
Our daughter took piano lessons from Mrs. Yelena for several years until we moved, and we were so delighted to see her progress! Yelena brings fun to music learning while still fostering the importance of dedication. By providing a wealth of opportunities (e.g. festivals and recitals) and emphasizing all musical skills (not just piano playing, but also music theory/ear training), Yelena has helped our daughter uncover a wonderful pursuit that she’ll always stick with. We can’t thank Mrs. Yelena enough for helping our daughter find her passion. We recommend her to anyone 100%!
17. Steinway Piano Gallery
Address: 10353 Tamiami Trail N #1, Naples, FL 34108 , Naples Manor , Florida , United States
Steinway was excellent in every detail arranging for my 100 yr old grand piano to be moved. They sent a great lead man and 3 more very strong guys who safely carried it down 22 porch steps, into the truck, then ramped it up to the next location. Thank you Leslie for your help! Thank you Steinway of Naples!
Grant is a blessing !
David Cusick did an outstanding job tuning my piano which I bought from Steinway Piano Gallery. David was prompt, efficient, professional and pleasant. I highly recommend Steinway Piano for Sales and Service.
Pricey, but to be expected at a sales showroom. They add delivery as an extra expense as well. Bob is helpful and professional without being too overly pushy. He would be a good “go to” if you are looking for something specific!
Do not do business with Grant Billings. He is extremely unprofessional and has screamed at me on more than one occasion. I recommend going ANYWHERE else outside of this company.
Saw this place driving by, stopped in because I’m looking for a new instrument for my home. Walked through the door and greeted by a cranky man who said they weren’t open yet only a soft opening by appointment only even though the doors were unlocked nobody else was in the store and no sign saying appointment only. The lighted sign said open on the door. Wouldn’t even let us walk around because it was a “liability issue” He said there’s not even a sign up because of permitting issues (there’s several piano store signs up) but those aren’t our signs. I was ready to drop CASH on a Steinway. I don’t know if you were in a bad mood or what but if someone comes into your totally customerless store looking to drop over 30k on a piano I wouldn’t turn them away.
18. St. Matthew’s House Boutique Thrift Store
Address: 2601 Airport-Pulling Rd, Naples, FL 34112 , Naples Manor , Florida , United States
St Matt’s is a wonderful thrift store and proceeds go to a great cause!
Always nice to go and look for new treasures.
Awesome.. Great cause to support..
They do a good job.
Great selection of items and furniture.
A nice selection of furniture, accessories, fair pricing.
The manager, Nicole is a rude& very unpleasant woman. An extra star for guys who load trucks. Bought a $500 couch & they’re wonderful. Overall stuff isn’t particularly friendly. Better people at Golden gate store, so I’ll go shop there from now on
Nice store but too expensive
I am looking for “second hand” furnitures for a family. I walk in every store in Naples looking for good deals. By far, this store is the most expensive place in Naples area for everything. The same table I founded for $160 (used), at their store it is $599, how can this store be help to others in need? They are charging furniture more then City Furniture and Ashley furniture! This is absolutely insane. Other people donate all they have in the store, why they charge so much money for second hand stuffs???? I don’t donate or buy anything from this store ever again. I’m very disappointed
19. Carole’s Place Café
Address: 8793 Tamiami Trail E Suit 105-1, Naples, FL 34113 , Naples Manor , Florida , United States
The food here is better than anything I’ve tried in Naples & I’ve been living here for over 10 years now. Everyone needs to try the smoked moz with chicken sandwich. Amazing prices. The pastries are the best. If I could give this place 10 stars I would.
New cafe bakery we tried during our trip
All fresh and authentic
Service was spot on and great ingredient
The frittata was awesome, moist and full of flavor
Excellent food and staff!!
We finally got a French cafe in east Naples! Unfortunately, our visit today was not a happy experience. I ordered a croissant with smoked salmon and avocado. The croissant was soft and seemed to be yesterday’s bake! When I asked the gentleman if that was the case he said it was baked 45 minutes to an hour ago!!! A croissant that is baked the same day is flaky and NOT soft!!! My husband had the Brie and fig preserve baguette. You could barely taste the fig preserve…. It’s sad but we will not be back to this place. Very disappointing!
Friendly staff but I ordered nicoise salad, I was thinking it was made with real tuna but no, also on the menu it said that it contained potatoes and eggs and the salad that I ate did not have potatoes or eggs. I realized when I got home
Sad to say but this place is not as good as it used to be. I’ve been twice in the last week. The first time was on a weekday around 3 pm. I was leaving to visit family and wanted to take them some goodies. Almost no baked goods remained! I didn’t purchase anything. I went again today. Most baked goods on display were very dark and over baked, I was told a muffin was blueberry but when cut open it was chocolate chip. This almost always seems to happen when a good local place expands. Well, it was good while it lasted.
Friendly staff, the sandwich was burnt and not very tasty. The iced coffee was okay but you can’t really mess that up.
Food was ok but I hate the fact that they forced me to pay with a Credit Card. They must be part of the Government’s plan to force Americans to move to a 100% Digital Monetary System. Won’t be going back.
Got the Avocado toast with a salad , bacon side and chicken salad on a croissant
Avocado toast has cheese… it didn’t have cheese the previous time so I wasn’t happy with that. The salad dressing changed and I wasn’t informed so I couldn’t eat that either . The chicken salad croissant was not fresh and had an awful flavor , must been sitting in their fridge or cooler for a day or two . The bacon was covered in grease, couldn’t eat any of the lunch items I got. First time I was there I had a very pleasant experience but now that I went there a second time , I was very disappointed with the quality of the food and won’t be back.
