Craig’s a great guy. Cool guitars, each with a unique story. Worth the stop if you’re around.
Great owner and beautiful place! His selection is ridiculously unique and he knows and loves each and every one of them. Fun time checking it out!
Very unique, one of a kind, vintage and rare Guitar experience. Expert knowledge and Greatn atmosphere. A must go when in Ft Lauderdale Florida.
I Ordered a $2000 Bass Guitar From This Place.
It Arrived, I Plugged It Up, and NOTHING. No Signal. I Checked The Batteries, They We’re so Old, They We’re Swollen Out of Shape. I Replaced The Batteries, Got a Signal.
I Tried to Adjust The Sound, and Each Control Was Scratchy and Full of Static. I Sent It Back, at My Own Expense, and They Refused to Refund My Initial Shipping Cost.
Very Unprofessional, Rude and Inconsiderate.
I Will Never Spend Another Dime There.
– Go Shop Somewhere Else.

Very rude, I called to ask a question and for whatever reason they don’t want to be helpful whatsoever. Don’t support this business

All you need!
Stacey at Penny Lane was the most helpful as hard working person we’ve ever met in the music industry. She returned our emails and requests within minutes and did everything she could to make sure our experience was perfect. Thank you Penny Lane for hiring such amazing people!! We will be life long customers!
I love to visit the Penny Lane Emporium! The ambience of the store when I walk in gives me just that warm fuzzy feeling of a cozy down home “pickin’ parlor”! The wide selection of quality musical instruments and accessories, combined with a dedicated and knowledgeable teaching staff makes it a great “one stop music shop” for pro and beginner alike. I especially enjoy the monthly (first Thursday) bluegrass jam sessions where fellow musicians can gather to play and exchange musical ideas in a fun and relaxed setting. Regardless of your musical skill level, you can have a wonderful time pickin’ and singin’ at The Penny Lane Emporium!
Owner seems like an honest guy but do NOT use for repairs of Digital Pianos. I was charged 95 dollars for a repair and as you can see in the photos the the key of A is clearly not aligned so it still does not play properly. They sent the piano out to be fixed and the repair guy wanted an ADDITIONAL 30 dollars for a part to fix it. Total cost would be 125.00 to make the repair. Charging 95 dollars and giving me back a piano that still does not work is unacceptable. This is NOT the place to take your digital piano for repairs. I can not speak for any other aspect of the store other than the Owner does seem like genuine guy.
*****Addition*** To respond to the owners reply I now have to take back my assessment of him as honest because I was certainly never told you would fix it at no charge other than the part or I would have agreed, You should have just let the review stand and not thrown in a lie to try and make yourself look better. If you’re willing to lie once you will certainly do it again. I recommend EVERYONE take their business elsewhere.
This store appeared to have a nice variety & I was greeted w/a smile. I’m a 68 old professional, drove from Lake Okeechobee to visit this HARD-TO-FIND STORE. My FICO is quite high, Platinum AMEX & 3K cash in my pocket for an above average tenor though they can cost 10K+. I went to examine a Uke & the owner freaked out! “NO, NEVER TOUCH, I’ll tune it & give it to you”; nice sales approach! Never again, will I ever walk into Penny Lane. I found his attitude & demeanor insulting, offensive & condescending; however, this is just 1 man’s opinion.
Not a fan, I found them very unprofessional and unreliable when it comes to a music store.

Learning keyboard from Anna was a great experience. She was patient and encouraging throughout the process and provided me with the guidance I needed to develop my skills. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn keyboard.
Thanks to TR Music’s drumming classes, Mason’s rhythm has improved significantly! He adores his talented instructor, Mr. Brooks – they make an awesome team!
I’ve been taking guitar lessons, and it’s been an enriching experience. The instructor’s teaching method is comprehensive, covering technique, theory, and practical application. They create a positive and motivating learning environment. I highly recommend these lessons

I cut my teeth in music at Insane Sounds Studios. Marc Karmatz has been my engineer for more than a decade. I have had services provided that span across engineering, pre and post production, mixing and mastering, rework, remixes, live instrumental recordings, graphics and design, CD duplication, music registration, mentoring and more!
Marc is a multifaceted engineer and musician who goes over and beyond to meet his divers clientele’ s needs. He is professional, fast and believes in the artist. He will always be my foundation when it comes to creating music. I have worked with him for so long I can’t fathom my music without his unique touch. He helped me discover myself, my passion and my sound. He is, priceless.
Best Place To Find The Sound You Are Looking For ! Marc is A Musical Genius.
It’s geart to do music with Mark He’s. The best I know so far
Where can I start! When I met Mark, I was going through a lot and not just with the recording ,but he was more like a friend. He helped me through some difficult times. I love his work ,the music was awesome and people loved it . I’m just grateful that I met him when I did. Thank God for all you do .Keep up the awesome work and God-bless .

Mitch has been wonderful with my son. My son is very much into sports and has never taken music lessons before. I thought it would be very difficult for him to stay engaged during piano lessons. However Mitch has been able to keep him interested and eager to learn.
I would definitely recommend him.
Mitchell is very talented and patient with my 14 year old son.
Mitch is a great teacher… really knows how to engage his students, especially the younger ones, and get them interested in music. He’s very easy going and obviously takes his craft seriously.

Best music studio in Ft Lauderdale. Sound quality is great clean and friendly environment. It’s highly recommended if you need a studio to record or for rehearsing
I love recording here. The engineer knows how to use equipment and programs well so recording is fast as long as you are ready. The fact that I get to rehearse in the same spot with live instruments for live shows is icing on the cake. Affordable, professional and quality. Stars go here to record so I know I’m on a good spot. Really a one stop shop for music

The Customer Service at Queen of Pawns was a great they were Very Nice and Friendly , And Very Accommodating
Best prices in town
These people are like family
I always come here to do business. Staff are great, respectful to me.
Cassandra was very helpful and she give me a great deal on my items I will definitely be coming back
Never answer the phone very bad customer service rude employees and that’s not the right time they’re open.
BEWARE ❗️❗️These people are scammers & the manager is the worse above them all. I went in looking for a loan & pawned my tools/laptop, only to find out the manager(who completed the pawn) did the deal as a sell. Instead of picking up my things, it’s sitting on their shelves “for sale”. PLEASE save yourself the headache & stay away!!!!
First time I went I was helped out by a tall guy who was very nice and reasonable with pricing for the items I was trying to sell but wasn’t exactly what I was looking for (the offer was 1700 though). Came back a few days later with the same items and a few more to get a deal done and a different employee helped me out and offered me 1000 for everything which doesn’t really make sense considering the first person offered 1700 for half of the items I brought the first time. Considering this it just seemed like the second guy assumed he could take advantage of me and I would take a low offer unknowingly so I wouldn’t recommend selling unless you’re working with certain employees
