This is a great little music store, and every time I walk in, they have more and more gear! Make sure to shop here before going to the chain stores or shopping online. You’ll be glad you did!
Most friendly people! Definitely going to buy here over bigger stores once I’m in the market again. Highly recommend this place
The best LOCAL music shop around. Couldn’t have been more helpful! Janice, the owner, is PHENOMENAL! Not to mention her helper/greeter Ozzy! Walked in with a smile, and left with a even bigger one. Thank you Janice!
Not open during advertised hours. 2:30, Friday Mar 24th. Driving around here is bad enough, let alone doing it for no reason.
I bought something and they never sent my item. They insisted I pay by money gram, and once I sent the money they disappeared. Dishonest company
Rode my bike about 4 miles to play guitar for a little bit, am on vacation. I was honest with my intentions with Janice, told her I wasn’t looking to purchase just to play for a little bit. She responded with “no soliciting get out”. I was very surprised. Janice may love music, but she does not love the passion of music. I would have maximum been in the store for 30 minutes and gone my ways. It’s sad to see someone so profit driven who claims on her website “music is not to hear, it’s to feel”. She also claims “Im here to help everyone enjoy the love of music”. This couldn’t be further from the truth. She is profit driven and does not care for you as a person. I suggest to not support someone so rude as an owner, and someone who lies about her true intentions with music. She just wants your money, she does not care for your love of music. Had she allowed me to play for just 10 minutes even, she would’ve made my day. Shame on you Janice, I hope you realize your rude ignorance is unneeded in a world full of it.
Great quality, timely, always professional, easy to work with. Highly recommend!
Working at Suncoast Voiceovers always feels like a blessing: Andrew Shapiro is a real professional and runs a top notch recording studio just a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico – Look no further, this is a needle in a haystack for voiceover services in the area. Highly recommended!

They always treat you right and make things right best place to buy to your stuff.
I just had a question as to do you guys buy guns
Bought a couple guns there and am pleased with them. Father is very good with what he does. So is the son,
I am very happy to find great deals at a great price. I enjoy going in and see all the good things they have to offer. From tools to guns and everything in between. I always get great deals. Thanks Mad Dog Pawn.
I was there with a pocket watch that is 130 years old. They told me it was worthless.
We left there and sold it for 300$.
You guys need to update your “experience”
Low-ball offers, even for loans. Very limited selections. You shouldn’t be in the business if you’re too broke to pay fair prices. You’d make much more money if you did business properly.
You should change you hours of operation to match your actual hour if you are not going to stay open the hours marked. It 540 and you just lost $1000 on a new rifle sale because I have to go to buccaneer because your son wanted to go home early.
I will say that the father is a good guy and if you walk in a see a young guy then to try another day.

Address: 5108 15th St E Unit 204, Bradenton, FL 34203 , West Bradenton , Florida , United States
Helpful staff. Pretty decent selection. Since the instruments are used, I am sure the selection is kind of dependent on what is being traded in, so the variety probably moves around a bit.
Excellent love it.
Nice price’s
While I haven’t been @ this store, I’ve bought from a (closed) one in Lakeland and found good deals on parts for my drum stands. Bass pedal prices are good also I noticed. I’m still looking for the” holy grail” of drums. A SONOR HLD 590.
Experience wasn’t so pleasant the 1 times I visited ugh especially October 1 2020 after I spent 465 bucks for the lady in the store to be rude to meUgh
Weird music store with weird employees
Liars and worst customer service ever at least they refounded quickly but lie on the cell and then lie like they never meet you the worst business ever!
I bought a second hand trumpet there but when it arrives at my place (Spain) the mechanic, the central core of the instrument witch is the pistons were faulty, the third pistons casing has very heavy mark of screwdriver inside, all he way from bottom to upper part. I really wonder what happened and why such a thing hasn’t been seen and clearly mentioned on the announcement. They assure me to have properly tested it and that it was working perfectly in their store. They also argue that travelling all the way to Spain may have damaged the instrument witch is a cheap excuse and impossible because it came personally with a friend of mine plus it was well stored in its case.
I REALLY DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYBODY TO BUY IN THEIR STORE, they are not competent at all at testing wind instrument. In my case i suppose they just move the pistons up and down, remove and reassemble all parts and assume it was fine, unfortunately this is not the way you try a pistons instrument.
They don’t wanna be responsable for that and told me they can’t do anything to resolve it.
Very unhappy with this franchise store. Very poor service

If you like a variety of antiques, this is the place to go.
The place was very nice. Bigger than you would expect.
Some neat things to see if you’re in to antiques. Some things are pricey and you may find something that’s reasonable priced.
Cute, but not antiques. More of dish ware.
Nice little place with interesting antiques.
Disrespectful & antisemitic staff
Very rude employees,stood waiting to check out while she sat behind the desk on her phone,then tried to pay with our debit card and wouldn’t take it because it wasn’t over ten dollars
I have gone here for years…Yes, this place has never changed. Stuck in the past. It is not the cool vintage stuff you see on Instagram that everyone wants. Modern vintage collectors don’t waste your time here.

My daughter comes from Utah twice a year and loves this store. She said to tell u “see u next time.”
Amazing store! Great prices & prices and owned by super people!
Found a great wooden chest there!
Love to browse through this store. Items are in great shape, some actually new. Staff friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
Very good
Clean and well organized. Staff was friendly and items were staged nicely. Some items were a little pricey.
Meh inventory. It’s definitely a Bradenton store. Coming from Sarasota it’s like night and day the quality.
Edit: I guess the owner is upset. It’s funny they say yard sales are trash meanwhile look at the inventory. How dare I go check out a place and it not meet quality standards. I’d visit again but given the age of the owner might knell over at a moments notice.
Definitely not a “thrift” store. Clothing and other items are ridiculously priced and it’s slim pickings. Just head straight across the street to the Goodwill for better prices and selection.
Felt like I was looking at peoples trash. Worker was sitting there scrolling on Craigslist. Pair of used, filthy running shoes for $45.
Very nice place to go shopping. They are very nice kind and courteous and all their products are absolutely awesome you can get really really nice stuff there from clothes to Furniture to just about anything you’re looking for highly recommend it I go every weekend
This store is back to selling everything! Yay! It has been nicely updated as well. The store is clean, well organized and the employees are friendly and nice. Love this store.
Clean and friendly staff.
Nice clean store. Very organized. Got some good finds here! This is a smaller goodwill. My only complaint is the air was not working very well when I went!
Great selection of books. Art is modern and varied.
It’s supper small. Clean. But not a lot choices
Update:: was in the Cortez store today (the tag color was Yellow) and I saw 3 employees pulling the color of the week items off the shelves, I think this is SO SLEAZY!!! .. I didn’t get anything I was so annoyed.
( original review as follows)
Some of the staff here are great people and other staff members are just awful, as rude as can be and couldn’t care less ( blue shirt, blonde hair, has an accent & I think is management)….. it’s a hit or miss and to be honest the prices for most stuff is way too high, this store used to be much better I’m disappointed that it’s going downhill. This review was supposed to be for the Cortez location, but then I realized the exact same situation happened at the Manatee store as well, so I’m leaving it here,why bother with a color of the week if you are going to pull that color off the shelves and racks?
Very expensive. Thrift store on Manatee Ave less expensive better merchandise
Share details of your own experience at this store
Staff are all very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Nice range of products at decent prices.
Good size Best Buy. Exactly what you would expect.
Great deals
Bueno
Standard Best Buy. Nothing special, it has what you need.
I went in to buy an iPhone was told to make an appointment, made one with Jesus to come back 1 hour later with set appointment and was told by him that there was no appointment and he wouldn’t help
Cedric the sales person was very helpful. But the Geek Squad that set up my new computer let me down. I was promised the set up would be done in 48 hours, it took 72. I could not get an appointment till the next day. I had another obligation so I could not check everything. They did not transfer any photos or documents. I have to decide if I want to make 2 more trips to Bradenton to get it right.
Worst experience ever…. was willing to spend $2300 on a laptop computer and no one wanted to assist me….
