We are on vacation in Largo x was surprised to find this Nice little shop with friendly service to sell me picks an my much needed bluegrass Elixir strings!!!
Local musician here, I bought a pair of sticks here in a pinch before a gig. They broke before my first set was over. 10/10 will not be back here for any gear. 2 stars because the guy behind the counter knew they were cheap sticks.
Keep up the good work!

4. Fire it up records
Address: 10591 94th Pl, Seminole, FL 33772 , Seminole , Florida , United States
Always ahead of schedule and on point. Seems no matter the style fire it up is experienced and it shows. Prices are fair if you compare experience/price to other studios nearby
5. Universal Rock School – Music Lessons
Address: 8998A Seminole Blvd, Seminole, FL 33772 , Seminole , Florida , United States
My 14 and 6 year old have been playing here for a year. The teachers are awesome and friendly and super helpful! My kids love it there!!
I highly recommend Universal Rock School!
My kids have been taking private weekly lessons (guitar and violin) starting at ages 6 and 8, and I am truly impressed with how much they have learned so far. And best of all, they enjoy their lessons and look forward to going each week!
Their teacher is patient and thoughtful, and explains musical concepts in a way that the kids easily absorb and understand. Parent-teacher communication has been excellent, too.
Universal Rock Schools offers an impressive number of instruments to choose from (including voice lessons) for kids and adults. And older kids can even learn to play together in a rock band. There are opportunities for students to participate in recitals, concerts, specialized summer camps, and fun events like local “battle of the bands” competitions – which all of the students and their families are invited to attend, adding a fun sense of community, and inspiration for the younger kids who are still beginners!
The school is conveniently located, quick and easy to get to from US 19 or Belcher Rd. The facility is clean and comfortable and there is a large lobby with a TV, coloring table, books, and lots of comfy chairs for parents or siblings to wait during lessons.
I couldn’t imagine a better place for my kids to learn music!
One of the best up and coming music collectives in the Florida area. A very accepting crowd who all has one goal in mind; making music to make the world a better place.
8. Gulfcaster Custom Guitars
Address: 637 182nd Ave E, Redington Shores, FL 33708 , Seminole , Florida , United States
I was shopping around for a beginners ukulele. I came here first and was greeted by the owner Chris. He was super helpful, listened to my needs and even offered tips for where I was as a beginner. I never got a sales pitch or got pushed towards a more expensive instrument (even while a customer in the store was trying to convince me of spending more). That right there went a long way with me because I knew I was in the hands of a professional I could trust. I went to a couple other stores afterwards to do my due diligence and it was night and day. Chris knows his stuff, he’s an insanely talented musician himself. After trying other ukes and talking to other shops, I knew Chris’ shop was the place for me. I came back today and he had it all ready for me. He gave me some more useful tips and I will be reaching out next week to sign up for lessons. It should also be noted that his prices, I felt, were really fair and competitive. Last but not least, I’m happy to have supported a small brick and mortar with a genuine passion for what they do.
Amazing music store. You should definitely visit if looking for a music instrument.
This is BY FAR my favorite music shop in Pinellas County! Owner is a encyclopedia of musical knowledge and experience is unmatched by others in area.
I don’t under stand the owner’s business hours. He claims that they are Thursday through Saturday from 12-6pm but he can decide when he want to open due to “business ventures”. I was looking forward to visiting the place today but it was closed. Shame.
While the hours of opening can be iffy (call first) this is one of the most beginner friendly shops I’ve ever been in for musicians. Compass Music is a sponsor of TBUS, and has helped lots of ukulele players. He won’t rush you through a sale, he takes his time with each customer. He’s done amazing favors for us too, and didn’t even charge us. Chris is really one of Tampa Bay’s best authorities on all things ukulele. Go see him, the inventory of ukes is very interesting.
This store never seems to be open. I tried leaving a phone message and no one got back to me. Check before you make the trip.
Went to the address its not there double checked Compass Music had another address in Maderia beach its not there either. So we went to Sam Ash Clearwater what a variety
Small music store,exceptional selection of ukuleles.
