This store is great. They have a constantly shifting inventory of great new and used instruments.
Great options for musical instruments
Great selection and helpful staff
John is always a pleasure.
Down to earth and professional.
They had what I needed when I needed it, and -1 stars because they take longer to do repairs and refurbishments as apposed to hoggetown do to the fact that they ship your instrument out
I brought my guitar in for minor pickup wiring. 7 days later they hadn’t touched it. I came back to get it and I wasn’t given a reason or an apology.
Dont say you buy old musical equipments, if a 63 year ventage trumpet is not worth any thing more than a head shake and disrespectfull knowladge.
I would really love to give this place five stars, but… The thing is, even though they have a fabulous selection of guitars, (and I DO mean FABULOUS! After, all, I bought my Yamaha that’s in the pawnshop right now here, and I’m fabulous af ) they don’t have a fabulous way of treating people that look like me. Every time I walk in this place, the long-haired dude is so weird. You can just tell he’s waiting for me to pocket something so he can rush to the front and lock me in! Like, dude, I paid cash for one of your overpriced, mass- produced workhorse-guitars. I’m not gonna swipe some maracas while your back’s turned. I don’t even want to shop here anymore, which sucks because Guitar Center is hella far, but at least they don’t make me feel like I’m not welcome.

They are professional and knowledgeable! They have great equipment to rent. AND are economical!!
Skip the big box store- this is THE BEST place to buy gear by far!! My band mates and I love coming here to get everything music related (mics,effects,guitar(s), drumheads,cables etc.). The staff is always ready to help and guides you to find the right product. Not only do they carry great stuff- they also do a great job setting up, repairing or upgrading your new or used instruments.
Great place super friendly and I heard that that have a country artist that works there that’s cool

always helpful!
Like a candy store for guitar players
Rating is based on one bad experience in this establishment. I arrived and was looking at starter bass yet they offered. I did not like the Amp that came with the set. I asked the gentleman that was helping if I could upgrade to a bigger bass and pay the difference, he explained he had to ask his manager. Another gentlemen came out who was nicely dressed and said he was the manager and he would allow me to exchange the bass for a upcharge. When I was ready to checkout another guy comes over rude and says he isn’t gonna allow it. When I explained the manager said he would do it. This gentleman very rudely said he doesn’t sign the paychecks I do. Now I have always lived by a couple major rules on being your only as good as your word. This establishment did not live by there word.
Owner is not a man of his word.. and tries to rip you off ..I prefer Guitar Center.
Drove two hours to buy a uke to find out they are closed all-day on Sunday. You may want to change the hours on Google maps and your website.

Got ta love Walmart….. Knew what I wanted, and I went straight to the watch I liked. Bam…just like that I’m out the door with my new watch.. Still not open for 24 hours a day. I miss that I can’t go there after I get out of work late at night.
Love Walmart For All Kinds Of Reasons !!! They Usually Always

Out too … Self Ck out … Or go through the line … Great Customer service also
My store love it
Always have what we need! Stopped for milk and wife bought some sweaters
Very clean
Crowded as usual. Manager(?) walking around with some sort of a hand-held device looking like he’s taking notes as the checkout lines were getting longer. Typical visit to Wal-Mart.
There was a shooting a couple hours after we were there
Received email at 2:07pm saying my order was ready for pickup, arrived at 2:15pm… It’s now 3:30pm and I’m still waiting!!! This is beyond ridiculous!!!
Oh my god!!! Socks and flops everywhere
5. Marion Music Inc
Address: 2421 NE 18th Pl #4, Ocala, FL 34470 , Silver Springs , Florida , United States
I’ve always had great experiences with Marion Music. I’ve used them for audio/video rental and they’ve always been responsive, high-quality, and a good value. I’ve rented wireless microphones, speakers, sound boards / mixing boards, and everything else needed for an event with audio. They show up on time, the equipment works great, and they have always been responsive to all my needs. Highly recommended!
Great service!
I would not recommend this place to anyone for any reason. Tried to rip me off. Rental equipment is old and dirty. Go somewhere else.
6. Broke ‘n Records Music & More
Address: 2750 E Silver Springs Blvd Unit 205, Ocala, FL 34470 , Silver Springs , Florida , United States
Awesome little new spot. Great selection of used. Very much looking forward to seeing this business grow. Ocala definitely needed another record store!
They have a little of everything to look at went in and found what we wanted right away with great customer service
7. Vinyl Explosion
Address: 3711 E Silver Springs Blvd, Ocala, FL 34470 , Silver Springs , Florida , United States
Great Guys Quality Work at a Fair Price they Fixed my Yamaha DX7 mother Board , will surely have more work done there …
They fix guitar amps and keyboards.
Doesn’t repair stereo equipment.
Went in today and ask if it’s possible to replace a broken key on my roland keyboard before Sunday, he then said no,so I asked him if he could sale me the key replacement and he would not sale it to me,maybe because I was going to fix it myself. He nothing like Bobby the last owner, I don’t recommend him to anyone because he knows that he’s the only electronic repair guy in Ocala and he takes advantage of that,he has poor customer service skills, I have a lot of musician friends and I’m going to to them to avoid PRO ELECTRONIC.
I feel sorry for Butch,because he works for this guy.
showed up 5 minutes before they opened, he showed up 23 minutes after opening time. sat in my truck for a few minutes then i went in and greeted him, ask if they were opened.he needed
a few more minutes so i waited out side for ten more minutes. now its way past 10:30 so i opened the door and ask if he was ready for me. he didn’t say a word just stared at his monitor and totally ignored me. seemed to be agitated to have a customer. if i can’t find someone to fix my speaker i will buy another one before i go there. i support small businesses but this guy needs to show some initiative. very bad customer service…
I have an evh frankie clone I finished and assembled from a chinese kit. I upgraded everything but the neck and body….. It looks and sounds great but no matter what I did, I just couldn’t get the thing to play right for me. I ran into all the little issues you can expect from a budget kit guitar with a floyd rose! I brought my good looking, great sounding pile of frustration to Sam and in one day, I got back a guitar that plays as well as my prs mccarty. I was floored.
Sam is a miracle worker!! Friendly, fast and an absolute master of his craft.
Excellent work and Communication, thanks!
Thank you, Sam, for the great guitar work!
Sam knows what he’s doing! He does it all. Great guy. Communicates well and gives you options. Great prices. Support small business!
It’s a wonderful non for profit family that’s passion is to keep the music to alive. There is sooo much undiscovered talent out there that should be recognized. If this is the place that supports and encourages artist to make their dreams a reality, I give Feverhead Production’s my full support. I love that they support local businesses, artist, and musicians of all styles. It’s a positive outlet for most and a positive outcome for all. It’s paying it forward. Bringing the community together one podcast at a time. Absolutely love and respect Feaverhead Productions mission and look forward to seeing new interviews, showcasing new talent. ❤️

Address: 2200 NE 36th Ave STE 102, Ocala, FL 34470 , Silver Springs , Florida , United States
Joe and his son completely restored our 90 yr old Mathusek grand piano, including refinishing the cabinet and replacing all the moving parts. It was a lengthy and tedious process but the result was better than we could have hoped. We appreciate his attention to detail and his diligence resulting in a professional restoration of our family treasure.
Joe is highly intelligent and intuitive.
This is a great service company and Joe really knows his stuff. He is a great guy and as a true music lover I highly recommend his services.

The people that work there we’re very friendly and nice I got what I needed and I got out everybody’s
It was okay just a little disorganized but found what I was looking for that’s all that matters to me.
Great for quick shopping trip, has good selection, not everything but still good.
I had my heart set on a can opener, 3 visits in 3 days, they need a lot of help stocking, cant even get thru the isles, but the employees are very nice
Horrible service, very dirty and definitely not properly stocked..!!
No longer selling virgin mobile
It was okay but the store is really really junky stuff is all over the floor if you have a walk behind the walk over it other than that the people are nice what store does not clean
17. Forte Piano Gallery & Restoration Center
Address: 4001 SE 45th Ct, Ocala, FL 34480 , Silver Springs , Florida , United States
Loved our experience here. We were not expecting to buy a piano so soon, but there was a great sale going on and they offer trade-in values if you buy from them and keep the piano tuned and kept up with them. They are the most knowledgeable people I’m aware of for pianos, build pianos, and do amazing repairs as well. We learned so much on our visit and will be repeat customers for as long as they are around.
