Always a joy to buy my musical equiment from this particular music retailer. Legends, who have seen multiple eras of music and are well versed in each of the technological needs of each respectively.
I have been doing business with them for a long time and can vouch for their knowledge, expertise, and creativity when it comes to creating a professional set, studio, set up, etc. while not being able to generate professional level money.
Great prices and attention
Man the staff is so nice and helpful. My family has been going to them for years.
Great customer service and affordable prices. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Very professional
Good customer service
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.

Address: 15050 NE 20th Ave, North Miami, FL 33181 , North Miami Beach , Florida , United States
Can’t say enough about Guitar Nook and the amazing customer service. Johnny is the epitome of professionalism and courtesy. He was patient and so attentive. This is the place for your guitar needs. They also have lessons which are super affordable and well taught. Bravo!!
they have a lot of great guitars, and the guy who was working there was very nice and helpful!
Bernardo was especially helpful and quick to respond to all my emails. Got my product on time and in perfect shape, even though i was organising for a friend to pick up for me, as I do not live in the states.
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.
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….
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.
5. Palosanto Music
Address: 1962 NE 147th Terrace, North Miami, FL 33181 , North Miami Beach , Florida , United States
Very clean and professional rehearsal studio. Great customer service and ok prices.
Excelent place.
Nice cool and comfortable place to rehearse. Also provides recording studio.
New owners did a well needed remodeling . Super cool
Well equipped, friendly environment and nice place to play. Many rooms available for a fair price. Thumbs up for Julio!!!!
Clean, well organized, descent gear, but both times we rented our experience has been bad/terrible. Very unfortunate as we were looking for a home and it seemed like a great location.
First visit, they wouldn’t let us in until 3 minutes before our time started with the room being empty and had us stack our gear outside of the room explicitly telling us not to cross the door’s threshold until they said OK.
Second time, we had to cancel last minute (COVID) and we were OK paying the 2 hour cancelation fee and had already arrived. Problem was, the place wasn’t even open. We had to wait around for an employee to show up 15 minutes late to open so I could pay a late fee. Of course he charged us the full late fee, and there was no consideration for OUR time. Never understood a business that can’t open on time….especially on a Sunday @ 2pm.
Hardcore if customers are late/go-over, but staff can’t open the studio on time. When they decide to show up you pay full price. That is just crazy and bad business. Spoke with owner to try and get some relief & work a deal on another rental and he either 1) Didn’t understand, or 2) Didn’t care….couldn’t quite tell.
Last thing: You can’t schedule more than a week in advance. Not sure how “regulars” do it but apparently you have to be one to get any attention or a call back.
I hope your experience is better than ours, most people seem to like it but definitely not for us.
The Elvis statue is cool.
This studio uses bait and switch tactics on their customers, they quote you a Price on the phone then when you get there they switch it up on you, will not recommend this place ever again, they made me look really bad with one of my clients, and they did not want to fix the issue either, their attitude is pretty much take it or leave it, I see also they’re not even registered with the BBB, be careful with the studio.
9. Bay Eight Recording Studios Miami
Address: 15421 W Dixie Hwy Bay 8, North Miami Beach, FL 33162 , North Miami Beach , Florida , United States
The team at Bay Eight are professional, reliable, competent and above all respectful!!!
Had a great experience! Thank you Bay Eight!
I had a great experience at Bay Eight Recording Studios. Great staff, helpful, organized and just a positive vibes.
Bay Eight is awesome; friendly and professional; it’s a top notch studio and the atmosphere is an oasis in a city full of inauthenticity and corruption. The music done there for Neuro came out perfectly. Sound Engineer Jake is a superstar. Bay Eight is a FIVE star studio, no doubt. It’s the only reason I stayed in Miami for a lot longer than expected. And like everything in Miami? It’s competitive and over-priced, but not by much. This is really a 4.5 star review and Miami has the 5th most studios than any other city in the U.S.? I prefer NYC. I’m a biased New Yorker.
Great Mixing please give me the same engineer just need help to find the best preset for my voice.
Attempted to record ADR. Staff was unprofessional and had no understanding of how an ADR session works despite the information provided on their website. Would steer clear of this studio if looking for any post production services.
Great vocal from this studio, however they do 4 hours minimum, so if you want to change your chorus or just record your chorus over get ready to pay a lot of cash for 4 hours minimum. No matter what it has to be four hours minimum. Even if you want to do ab libs which takes like 5-30min, you still have to pay for the four hour minimum. Many other issues but I’ll leave it at that…. I recommend mix and master.
El peor servicio al cliente que me he encontrado en un estudio. Cuando se trata de enviar los precios y todo lo que hay que pagar, ahí son super amables. Una vez empiezas a preguntar qué incluye cada servicio, o cosas tan básicas como conocer los profesionales con los que vas a trabajar (productores) y trabajos previos que han realizado, comienzan a hablar de mala gana y sin ningún tipo de interés.
Es la primera vez que me dicen que no puedo contactar con el productor antes de empezar un trabajo y hay que rogar para que al menos te digan quién es o los trabajos en los que ha participado. Pero eso sí, las tarifas se deben pagar antes de empezar. Como les supone una molestia, no deberían decir que ofrecen producción.
Además, se molestan si les sugieres que traten con respeto a la gente que con toda educación está pidiendo info excusándose en que muchas veces pierden tiempo informando y la gente no reserva. Alguien les debería enseñar que cuando se trabaja ofreciendo un servicio, sea el que sea, los clientes tienen el derecho a conocer toda la información previa a contratarlo/comprarlo y ellos deben estar dispuestos a facilitarlo, incluso si al final no se adquiere. Sino, es mejor que busquen otro trabajo.
Finalmente, te dicen de forma desganada y despectiva que: “no cuentan con secretaria que pueda atender las llamadas cuando usted quiera”; algo que deberían tener en cuenta antes de poner en su página web e información de contacto que es un estudio “abierto 24 horas entre semana, fines de semana y festivos”.
Tenía todo el interés y la intención de trabajar mis proyectos aquí, pero gracias a eso decidí hacerlo en otro lugar. Puede ser todo lo moderno que quieran y contar con los mejores equipos, pero el servicio es malísimo. Definitivamente no se lo recomiendo a nadie.

11. Harpist in Miami – Kiki Bello
Address: 17032 W Dixie Hwy Unit A, North Miami Beach, FL 33160 , North Miami Beach , Florida , United States
Absolutely amazing. Her performance and her personality as so contagious. Our group just loved her talent and her charisma.If you are looking for an amazing show.. call KiKi. She will not disappoint. 100% recommend.
Another performane for us. Again Kiki was so amazing. I love her energy. She truley brought Elegance and Style to my event. My guests were very impressed with her. She is quite an experience. You gotta hire this harpist to see for yourself! She truly is AMAZING and very humble guys! I dont think any other harpist will gives you the diversity and different genres of music that she does. We will never hire any other harpist. If she us unavailable, I think we will have to hire another instrumentalist. There truly is NO comparison!
Thank you Kiki, You Rock!
Highly recommend! Kiki was a pleasure to work with, a consummate professional, and an excellent performer. If you have the opportunity to book Kiki, I’d do it. You won’t be sorry.
12. Nenne’s Music School – North Miami Beach
Address: 18345 NE 19th Ave, North Miami Beach, FL 33179 , North Miami Beach , Florida , United States
The instructor was very patient and kind with my young child.
Mi hija entro a esta escuela sin saber tocar un instrumento y después de 1 año, me levantan con Mozart o Bach. Hoy mi hija en la escuela, sin que nadie se diera cuenta agarro el piano y toco, y la profesora me mando esto. Gracias Allan por ser tan especial y gentil con mi niña. te dije que cuando ella me tocara yo pondría un review para tu escuela. deberían poner mas estrelleras para tu escuela cinco no son suficientes.
The teacher personality and skills, and the method are just wonderful!
Tanto el profesor como el metodo de enseñanza son ideales para los niños!!
The most rude and uninterested “professional” if you can call it that way. He makes an appointment, yet doesn’t show up and doesn’t bother picking up the phone. He’s probably fully booked and making millions, and he doesn’t care about getting new children, but so little does he realize that some children just really want to learn. Their little hearts get broken when they go to a place they will supposedly get to learn how to play music, and NOBODY is there. His answers are ecstatic like “follow the signs” when he’s told that nobody answers the phone, e-mails or anything. Yes, we are for sure FOLLOWING your advise and the signs by NOT even trying this place anymore. I cannot thank you enough to show us your true colors from the beginning.

Very good customer service helpful it was fast and easy. They were great Caridad and Erick and I’ll be sure to come back here in the future with my friends.
Es mi primera ves en king cash muy buena atención muy amables personalidad gracias ala muy buena atención a caridad
Avy and Caridad really great customer service and really helpful and really fast workers and very understanding , joyful
I have visited alot of pawnshops trying to search deals on electronics and automotive tools and I have to say that this pawnshops is a complete rip off, they tried to sell me flashlight that retails at home Depot for $19.99 for $129.00 and when I made them aware of the price difference they tried to say the flashlight came with other accessories but they could not find them. I then said I would give them $10.00 for the flashlight I was told no they would sell the light by itself for $85.00 I said he’ll no and left. Whomever owns the shop is a complete con artist or the beautiful faces he or she have running the business for them are trying to line their pockets. I will never set foot in this establishment ever again
I requested a price for my PS4 and The offered me only $55.00 for a pawn. The lady was very nice to me and helpful but that part of the service was irrelevant to the fact she is attempting to undervalue my pawn. Lost a new customer and had to travel to 79th street but got what I needed. My suggestion Is, shop around!
They literally can’t tell what’s gold. I brought a 18k gold broken watch clasp to sell for scrap… after the young unsure girl called over another lady and sawed into the damn thing she told me it was PLATED. Which is not true because I had just sold a clasp identical a few days beforehand for $135 . The rude lady told me take it somewhere else… which I did… right across the street to their competitor who actually knows what they are dealing with, and I sold it to them with zero issue. I’ll never go to your shop again. Waste of time.

Great Studio! Hal proves that going beyond the call of duty IS the duty!
Super talented producer, and extremely high quality recording. Best in Miami for sure.
AFTERHOURS is by far the most superior recording studio that I’ve had the pleasure of working in. Hal Batt is a very professional and friendly person to work beside, i would highly recommend this studio for all your recording necessities.
