There’s people playing guitar in the hallways together, singing in three part harmony, and drinking beer. People dancing in the side rooms, etc. It’s like a big ol’ outdoor music festival there, all the time, except it’s inside. The building is old and awesome-looking, and although some of the rooms are too small or too hot or too cold, I think it gives it atmosphere.
My first goal was to learn how to use my voice correctly because I enjoy singing but struggled with understanding how to use my voice in particular. Then we put my new skills to work by recording a cover song together that I gave to my boyfriend as an anniversary gift. It was so rewarding!
I just wanted to let you know that we have been very pleased and impressed with our son’s progress in piano, which I’m sure has much to do with you. Thank you so much for all your efforts!
Taylor Robinson is NOT “… an instructor who performs live, writes songs, and records and releases albums for a living.” He is NOT the person to call “…if you’re ready to stop WONDERING what it would be like to sing or play music.”
He is the same scammer who eventually gets blocked by Craigslist and then he changes the name of his company, waits it out and comes back again.
He is basically a salesman/con man who makes blatantly false claims because he targets beginners who don’t know any better. Here it is again, Christmas shoppers getting screwed by online scams.If his claims were true, he would have thousands of raving reviews instead of the few that he wrote himself because he advertises all over the country.
By the time you catch on that he’s just a middle-man who sets you up with a beginner, inexperienced, self-proclaimed instructor (so that he can keep more of your money) you can end up spending hundreds of dollars and acquire so many bad habits that you are worse off than if you had not take the lessons.
I paid $35 for a trial piano lesson for my daughter. The teacher never called me to coordinate the class. He called the offices and sent 2 emails to get an answer and no one answers. I need my money back
To the owner of Taylor Music listed at the 309 Cinnamon Bark Lane address WILL you PLEASE update your address list and remove 309 CINNAMON BARK LANE from your list so Google will update their maps. I have lived here nearly 10 years and have never been associated with Taylor Music.

great variety of musical instruments with excellent prices, differentiated service with great sellers, highlight for the amplifiers mesa boogie and for the Brazilian seller Fernando Urso
I love it
One of the best purchasing experiences I have had. I have been religiously buying stuff online and on amazon but when I decided to pull my 15 year old guitar out of my closet I knew I needed to go into a brick and mortar store to choose new strings and an amp to bring out the best of my Les Paul.
The gentleman behind the counter, Fernando answered all of my questions about choosing the best set of string and when I asked about my options for a new amp, he allowed me to try all three so I can see the differences between them all. He was never pushy and did not know that I would purchase that same day but he shared his love for what he does with me and made me feel very comfortable with my selection. I ended up buying 3 sets of strings and a new Mesa Boogie Mark V. I honestly did not know I would walk out of the store the same day with an amplifier but I loved the product and the service they provided and I had to have it!
High prices
The person who helped us out was very knowledgeable but his continual talk about church and religion put a damper on the conversations. I’m not sure we got a great deal either but we didn’t want to wait for shipping so I guess it worked out.
Plenty of guitar, keyboards and DJ equipment but not much beyond that from what I could see.
Suelo comprar mis instrumentos musicales alli,como buen electricista que soy,tengo mis hobbies, y allí precios competitivos
They just care about the money not the costumers to be happy with the instruments, the guitar doesn’t tune and he did not want it to exchange, replace or refund . Bad costumer service while I was there another costumer was fighting with them with similar problems .
Called to ask a question, line rang then. Clicked called again was told we are closed and then abruptly hanged up on me. Never been but surely won’t ever go or recommend now.
Atendimento PÉSSIMO! Funcionário super mau educado! Não merece nenhuma estrela.
Indico a George’s Music de Orlando, excelência em atendimento, preço e som!

Extremely awesome customer service very knowledgeable I find it to be the best that I come in contact in Orlando so far.
The people here are awesome… great atmosphere and helpful staff.
Emily was awesome. The whole team was awesome, they greeted me upon entry and helped me find the cord that I was looking for without making me feel judged for not knowing what I wanted. It also has a great selection of band instruments. Loved my experience!!!
Very small selection of guitars and amps
Would give them 5 but their shipping sucks
Tienen confianza en el cliente y lo dejan que busquen lo que desean,buena atencion y tienen variedad.Deben buscar un lugar mas amplio.
Anthony Hunt provided a mediocre service by not answering questions, offering upgrade for an instrument without any benefits, accessories, he didn’t give a copy of my contract. He was trying to help everyone, but doesn’t even provide a good service and help one first.
Son malísimos en atención y servicio, no lo recomiendo, pues compré un violín 4/4 hace más de un mes y aún no llega a mis manos, no me devuelven mi dinero y no me dan una respuesta oportuna .
awful. awful I paid cash for rental of instrument at the store, employee pocket the money, even with a receipt. They keep trying to charge me. As well teacher for lesson cancels last minute every other week. I get told when I show they say oh she just call sorry. I will drive my kids to the Band room instead.
10. Sam Ash Music Stores
Address: 912 Lee Rd, Orlando, FL 32810 , Orlovista , Florida , United States
These guys are the best. Been going there for years and never any questions on returns and easy lay away if you find a guitar you don’t want sold while you’re saving your money up to get it.
God price!
Great customer service
Although I’ve made good purchases with Sam Ash in the past, this latest purchase experience had alot to be desired. Bought a set of Jamstand studio monitor stands. I live 27 miles (one way) from the store so it’s somewhat of a trek. Once home, I opened the box only to find that this was clearly a returned item. Parts scratched with all plastic packing coverings removed and bunched in the box. Back to the store I went the next day (another 54 miles round trip w/tolls) and was able to exchange for a new one. The store agent was apologetic and courteous. Oh well, my bad. I definitely should’ve opened the box and checked the contents.
had to wait to check out no staff available
Samuel
The worst Sam Ash ever. I tried trading Two top notch workstation for another keyboard and they wanted to give me pennies. What a joke. After giving me the run around all morning they weren’t able to help me. DO NOT GO TO THIS STORE YOU’LL BE WAISTING YOUR TIME!!!!
I had the most terrible experience as I was looking at a guitar that I would like to buy I had an employee come up to me and say you’re in my way and you’re doing something you’re not supposed to be doing which all I was doing was testing the guitar playing the guitar to see if I like to buy it so I stuck the guitar in his face and told him here if I’m in your way please let me leave and I would take my business elsewhere
Absolutely sickened by the slow response in getting a refund on a guitar I planned to purchase for my son. I’ve been buying equipment from this store for 15 + years and sadly will be very hesitant in making any large purchases from Sam Ash. A refund should be cheerfully returned in a timely manner.
Sam Ash always has giving me a Great Service, I appreciate the attention they give me always, a special Thanks to Jerami, from the Brass Repair Department, Great job on my Trumpet, So if anyone needs a repair on their Brass instruments, I highly recommend, Jerami, at SamAsh Music, at 4644 E. Colonial Dr. in Orlando Florida,
Sam Ash, Thank you again for a great service.
God Bless

Very helpful and smart sales people. Best place to shop for your musical equipment.
I recently got a cheap mandolin from amazon and knew it needed better strings on it. I took it to Sam Ash, and for a very reasonable price, had Ron back in the guitar section restring it, while explaining to me how to properly clean and care for it. Overall this was an extremely good visit and I get like the staff who assisted me exceeded my expectations in customer service. Thanks guys.
*EDIT* The man was the manager, and while the rest of the staff and we were wearing masks, he was not wearing one.
While the rest of the staff are wonderfully informed and helpful (especially Ricky), we had an older white man with white hair come and stop us while we were trying out an amp. Yes, it was probably too loud, our bad, but he didn’t have to be nasty about it.
He rushed over saying “No, no, no! We can’t have that! It’s too loud, we can’t hear the phones, and it’s just disrespectful!” Not even giving us a chance to ask what was wrong, and correct our actions ourselves. Then he rushed off into some unknown corner of the store.
Now, I work in customer service, and I see some pretty mean clients. BUT, you should always politely approach the situation with a civil tone and try to actually TALK TO, not TALK AT your customers. We’re all grown adults. If only that employee could have acted as such. Very disappointed in his customer service skills, they are severely lacking.
Very friendly staff. And very knowledgeable.
Bought my 1st professorial drum machine (Roland mc 303) here in 2001.
The worst Music Store in the world
$80 to change bass strings! Wow!!! Highway robbery!
I have been a customer at the location before it was even Sam Ash and I would like to know who that guy was honestly I expect that it was probably the manager

Edgar is just phenomenal, so helpful and informative. I’d definitely come back
Great Customer service!!! The Manager Charityn was very helpful and kind, the store is nice a clean. Definitely recommend stopping by for all pawn inquiries 🙂
Great customer service
Great place, Nice Employees and good service for getting video games and such!
Customer service was garbage
Worst experience EVER! I only came in due to someone else’s advice. Credit machine blew up. Literally. 1st red The girl in the store was way too chipper about continuing to service me even after I expressed concern about not being able to accept payments. 2nd red flag. I bought something which (I’m now stuck with) they refused to refund my money after telling me my payment didn’t go thru. Which I figured would happen. The chipper sales agent reassured I could come back and return the item next day if it wasn’t a fit. Only to find out late after calling my card the amount had been taken. I called them same night. No answer. I went in the next day to return the item, I even called my bank on speaker and the manager hearing the transactions still wouldn’t refund me. Had my receipt and all even asked for a trade on something else. They still wouldn’t resolve the matter. I never bought anything in a pawn shop until this time and I never will. Filed a police report and a complaint with the BBB. Juan is a crook who won’t fix anything as a management
After receiving a missed call..
I call back the same person that left a voicemail has no idea who called I’m out on hold for another person to answer and seems just as lost I provided my name and phone number and they act like they can’t find the account unbelievable. When just the day before I was in the store talking to them regarding my payment that would be a day or two late. They said ok a note is in the accounts the very next day the phone call begins with the employees not knowing what they’re doing in there. And then they have the audacity to be rude ! I will never do business with this pawn shop after my current merchandise

I placed an order on Amazon on 9/18/22 for 2 CD’s Eric Roberson (Lessons). I was told the CD’s would be delivered on 9/20/22. I needed the cd’s for a birthday gift, the party was 9/22/22 that was perfect. Amazon, delivered the package on 9/20/22 to the wrong address . Wednesday morning I googled where can I buy Eric Roberson cd Lessons and POWERED BY FLORIDA EMPIRE MUSIC popped up. I called, the young man told me, we don’t open until 10:00. I told him what I needed. H e said I can get it for me but he was closing early today and I was working until 2:00. He told me to text him the information and he would deliver the CD to me. He delivered the CD, everything was perfect. That’s excellent customer service, which is really hard to find. I’m a customer forever.

My overall experience was flawless. From placing the online order, to customer service and on time delivery. Everything was beyond my expectations. Thank you Band room. Keep up the great work!!!
Great friendly service.
Good
Okay.
They stop charging my card for unknown reason and reported it to the credit bureau. Veritas is very shady I fully regret getting an instrument from this place .
Band Room did not send me the instrument we signed up for. They did not contact me to tell me that the instrument was being changed without my consent or knowledge.
BAND ROOM is the company that my kids school suggests their students rent their instruments through. It appears that most people are pleased with their service. I am NOT one of them! The “MEET YOUR TEACHER” evening I signed a contract for my kids instrument rentals. I paid cash that evening and submitted my account information for a recurring bill for a duration of six months. The instruments were to be delivered that following Monday. We have yet to receive anything and I’m getting charged monthly for a service we have yet to receive.I have tried multiple times to reach someone in this company. I will never use them again and will inform anyone I know of my experience. MUSIC & ARTS is ABSOLUTELY % the company to go through. At least they actually provide the service they advertise for.
