Awesome selection. Had some great punk albums. NOFX playing in the background. Owner was really friendly.
Great selection and reasonably priced. They actually had metal records!
Man oh man what an awesome treat this place was! I wanted to find a record store I have not been to so I Googled and found the salty dog. Stepping in the shop, it was quite small but had a very large selection of heavy metal albums all the way to smooth jazz and everything in between. The shopkeep was courteous and knowledgeable and was able to help us with anything we needed. I was able to pick up a dead Kennedy’s album and an offspring album to add to my collection. Check out process was easy and I’ll definitely be back in the future to check up on new albums coming in. Swing by and get an album or 2 and feel free to write your name on the wall as a little treat they do when you shop there! Awesome place and I can’t wait to come back.
Small store but had a decent selection.
A nice selection of new and vintage music!
Great local record shop
This guy is a con man don’t waste your time or hard earned money
A little small and not one thing I wanted or was looking to find. Wall to wall Beatles and Taylor Swift, not much in the vein of Prog Rock.
I love hearing Andres play in town! I also love his YouTube videos as they are very entertaining and personal. If you haven’t been to one of his gigs yet, you better plan to go to one soon!
Andres is one of the most unique talented live musicians we have seen! We would absolutely hire for a private event. We love to go to his gigs around Sarasota. He is a well rounded musician, engaging, funny, and an absolute delight.

TR Music and Voice Lessons has made an impact, on our son Noahs journey. He has been taking drum lessons with Mr. Wright. We have witnessed progress in his skills all thanks, to the expertise and guidance provided by the instructors at TR Music and Voice Lessons.
The studio is first class. Every teacher is well trained and approaches each student with individualized plans. I highly recommend group lessons.
Wonderful teachers and programs. My kids love it. Better than the program through their school. Truly foster their music growth.

Keegan in light and sound was a great help, and very patient with me!
This was the best music store experience I’ve ever had. Bryan and Corey were so helpful and courteous. It may sound corny but I felt more like family than a customer and I will continue to make my music purchases here from now on. I think that’s the difference with a family owned business. I am happy to support them and highly recommend sam Ash Sarasota to anyone interested in playing music.
I went in to the Sarasota store to sell 2 items- a bass and a SansAmp V2. I paid $250 for the pedal 5 months ago, and never used it. Brand new, in the box. They offered me $80. And they wouldn’t budge. I know they have to make money, but that was bad.
Very helpful people. I was going to buy ukulele the employee talked into a small guitar and I’m happy with that decision. Everything was perfect until check out. I had a $50 gift card and it took us 33 minutes to check out. That kind of ruined the experience since I had a person with me which made me feel embarrassed that he had to wait sooo long. I kept asking for a handwritten receipt which they finally did! Other than that this place is perfect
Excellent value for the money. The trombone slide is in terrific condition. Lacquer on the bell and slide is in top condition, showing the horn was well cared for by its previous owner.
Will require some minor repair shop work – the F trigger is noisy and the F attachment tuning slide does not move. It’s a pleasure to find a good quality F attachment trombone for well under $1,000.
Okay gracias
Staff was not very knowledgeable at all. Also not the most courteous. I asked for a price on maintenance on a floating trem the guy said he didn’t know I had to ask the guy who does the maintenance. I told the guy guy what bridge I had and he told me he didn’t know what it was so I explained it in layman terms and he somewhat understood. I then asked if they had a stand for my guitar. I told him I have a xiphos which has a distinct body. He was flabbergasted then proceeded to ask me if it was a v or an explorer shape. He had to look it up. Trash place. Only go there if you need strings or picks on the fly. Overpriced stuff being sold by under qualified people
Prepare to be hovered over.

Pete does incredible professional work and he is very passionate about the end result. Pete has worked on five of my guitars. A limited Edition higher end Taylor (a previous luthier instructed me to send back to the factory), a budget friendly Fender acoustic I use for student instruction, Sire Larry Carlton S7V Strat, a budget friendly 335 and a T-style three pickup guitar I built from Warmoth and Seymore Ducan parts. All guitars needed neck, bridge and nut work (he even purchased a plek tool for working on my Strat). Pricing is very reasonable and Pete can really dial it in; these guitars practically play themselves.I have a couple of more on deck.
Pete is very kind, courteous and a wealth of knowledge; I enjoy hearing about his days at PRS.
Pete is a friendly guy who does great work. It was clear from the start that he truly cares about the guitars that he works on. His prices are very fair as well.
Excellent service and a great guy to do business with. Deserves more than 5 stars

I had a great experience with Value pawn! Two days in a row, they have been very courteous and nice and super helpful! Love these people and Value Pawn!
Thanks again! I will be back very very soon!
Selling at retail & trying to convince me it’s cheap lol, not much more need be said.
Personally I wouldn’t take your items here. They don’t give value for what you have an a try to rip you off. Go to America’s Super Pawn down on 301. We were hoping to get $300 for our item, they offered us $80 here for a $929 brand new, still in the package laptop. America’s Super Pawn not only met our $300, they offered us $350.
This place is so rude an I suggest u do not go here under new management my ass rip offs any other pawn shop in Sarasota beats them place truly sucks won’t even take something new they want a receipt
Worst place on earth. They want to buy everything at near nothing, and selling close to retail.
Very talented and knowledge with the Sonos systems very knowledgeable with the indoor outdoor security systems highly recommend
Rick installed a Sonos system for my home and I love it! He installed it so it provides me with surround sound for my television which he also installed. Every single time I have had a question or issue, I call Rick and he answers, is kind, patient and every time handles whatever the problem is and fixes it. I would use his services again and highly recommend his company. Cindy
I have known and worked with Rick Marks for several years. I have used him personally for several large, flat-screen TV mounting jobs, and have also referred him out for security camera and home automation work. I know him to be both honest and capable, and I offer my recommendation without hesitation.
Called several times and left messages and texts. Never received any calls back or communication. I get they may be busy but at least have the courtesy to return a phone call.
Was talking with Rick about an outdoor TV install by our pool. We finally got a time for him to come by. He was supposed to be here at 10am. I took time off to be home. HE DOESNT SHOW UP.
I text him if he’s coming. No answer. I call. No answer. Next day I text again to try to understand how someone doesn’t at least let a client know why they didn’t show up. No answer or response.
It’s now a week later and I still haven’t gotten an apology or reason why he didn’t show up. Completely unprofessional.
We hired DJ Littlebit to do our daughter’s wedding. I live out of town and was a little skeptical about hiring a DJ over the phone. I was pleasantly surprised when I found all of my doubts extinguished when I called DJ Littlebit. She was responsive to all of my questions and helped me and my daughter plan every step of the ceremony and reception. When we finally got to the day, She was there early to setup and make sure all was good. I watched from a distance as she got together with the banquet captain and gave them a copy of an outline she put together and explained the plan for the reception. That really impressed me! The ceremony and reception music was great! She knew just what to play and everybody loved her! If you need a good DJ…hire DJ Littlebit…you definitely get a quality DJ that delivers way above your expectations!
Was not happy at all. She did my sisters wedding and played none of the songs that were requested during their meeting. And was very demanding.
