Great staff and amazing teachers! All knowledgeable about instruments. Very patient!
My daughter plays the Clarinet – my son plays the Tenor Saxophone. In converting their rental to a purchase, Cindy was more than helpful.
In joining the school band, my kids initially rented to insure we wouldn’t be stuck with instruments should they change their mind or otherwise decide chorus might be a better fit. Later in the school year, I sought to convert the rental to a purchase. Looks like they were sticking with band.
I had some “numbers” in mind on what I was willing to pay on the rental to purchase conversion. When I called into the store, Cindy was polite and helpful. After talking with management, their final price was actually lower that the “number” I had in mind. I quickly paid by credit card and sealed the deal.
They are good at what they do. They give you honest quotes for what might be needed.
Good variety of instruments and accessories. Helpful friendly staff. Good prices
Great store for instrument rental.
I used to come here to have my instrument cleaned for years and will no longer be doing so. Repair shop is unwilling to accommodate professional musicians that are time sensitive. And no, I won’t be leaving my instrument that I make a living with with you for 7-10 days. That’s completely unacceptable. I even offer to pay extra for the rush. Insane. This would never happen in New York, Boston, LA, San Francisco, Dallas, or any city with pro music shops.
DO NOT GO HERE FOR STRING REPAIRS. Or, frankly, repairs in general. I have never in my life experienced such poor customer service. I originally brought my viola to the store in Port Saint Lucie to be repaired and was told that it had to be shipped to the West Palm Beach store where the actual repair shop was. Seemed reasonable enough at the time. But this store then held my viola for well over a month, and started constantly making excuses as to why I couldn’t have my viola. Not only that, but it was impossible to get ahold of anyone at the store by telephone. I called time and time again and left numerous messages, but I was rarely able to get in touch with anyone until I actually spoke with the repair person. First it was that I didn’t tell them how I wanted it repaired (I did. Twice.) Then it was that the repair person only works weekends (she herself told me that she would come in and fix it on a weekday if needed, but they didn’t seem to care about that), and then it was that they couldn’t ship it back to the Port Saint Lucie store. Then, finally, when I finally got them to ship it back, they did it LATE. It is well over a month later and I STILL do not have my viola because of the terrible customer service. I’ve missed over 10 lessons now because of this. DO NOT go here for string repairs; they are simply understaffed.
Trash. Not in a good way.

Address: 6215 Georgia Ave ste b, West Palm Beach, FL 33405 , West Palm Beach , Florida , United States
We just purchased a piano from Roger & got a great deal. The piano is in great shape and we searched many places for a Yamaha or Kawai and found the pianos that Roger had were the best deal. He gave us a free tuning with the piano and recommended some teachers for us. Overall I would recommend taking a look at his selection if you are looking for a piano.
Had a wonderful experience purchasing a piano from Roger. He was great! Gave us a warranty and really took great care of us! This is our first piano we have ever bought and we searched many different places but got a great piano from a great guy! Would totally recommend!
We had an excellent experience in the purchase process of our piano. Mr. White and delivery crew were very pleasant to deal with. Thank you so much! Ed & Marlene.
I’m a young musician, exitingly getting my new piano, but instead ended up selling us a piano with termites. Didn’t give us anything back. Ridiculous
Terrible service. Termites in my piano. It didn’t let me put 0 stars. I’m disappointed. termites.
5. Black Label Music Group, LLC
Address: 224 Datura St #1013-1014, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 , West Palm Beach , Florida , United States
The studio is very professional. It offers affordable packages for upcoming and established music artists and more. The location is one block parallel to Clematis street. The views from the studio overlooks the downtown metropolitan area.
6. Stars International Studios
Address: 100 S Dixie Hwy Suite #307, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 , West Palm Beach , Florida , United States
I came to stars international with a vision and the crew there came together and helped bring my creativity to fruition. They were patient and professional. The atmosphere itself was vibrant and homely with a dash of spatial vibrance. 10/10 would recommend.
DJ Amit was professional and fun. Very responsive, showed up on time, and made my daughters birthday party an amazing time with a custom playlist/mix. Would recommend! Thank you again for such a fun day.
Mona was the perfect producer for my song cause his communication was on point and he worked his magic, from my feedback at different points! We’re gonna record it soon and I’m excited for the finished product. The room studio itself was easy to find and had a professional setup. Highly recommend them!
Mr. Rincon is an incredible musician as well as an amazing instructor. He is patient, passionate about the violin and about the quality of instruction, enthusiastic, professional, and a qenuinely kind and caring person. He took me on as an adult student and was supportive, encouraging, and very patient. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent violin instructor. p.s. I tried another instructor before I found him and…yikes. There is no comparison.
Upon walking into Vivace Music Academy, our family immediately felt welcomed. After our visit, I knew this was where our son was meant to grow his love of music. Mainly, because he did not want to leave. He started with a half hour lesson, but quickly switched to an hour because he couldn’t get enough. The instructors are passionate, professional, patient and kind. We feel part of something beautiful. We are not just a number or a customer. Vivace is the definition of an “Academy”.
Our daughter is a student at Vivace Music Academy and has had an amazing experience in terms of her growth as a musician but her commitment as well! Mr. Rincon and his staff are very talented and professional!
My experience with Vivace music academy was less than what I expected. The instructor spent more time focused on showing how to hold the bow and violin then actually playing and this continued lesson after lesson. It’s pricey already so if you’re spending $200 plus/month and you aren’t playing music just holding the instrument and doing arm movements like your in a yoga class…you’re better off going elsewhere to learn (new instructor, youtube, app etc). Not to mention the unprofessionalism Antonio displayed over the phone with bashing another potential music instructor based on price due to the suggestion of going elsewhere was already a bad sign. Time management was another issue..leaving a student in the room and letting other people walk in without announcing the lesson was over is a lack of poor communication. I wouldn’t recommend this school for learning the violin..

Address: 515 S Olive Ave, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 , West Palm Beach , Florida , United States
Very helpful staff and the item I needed was in stock.
Super staff, great guitars, deals and more! I’m ALWAYS happy I came here! Their website is awesome too! USED is great!
Great
over priced but on rare occasions will find a deal
Even though my order was screwed up the management went the extra mile to improve the customer experience
Great selection, pricey.
Great place, great staff, and a lot of instruments to play
After hanging out for 15 minutes in the percussion section without anyone being there to help me, I walked out to the front and asked the three people sitting down if anyone could help me in percussion. They all looked confused and there was an awkward silence. Then, one of them said to the other two, do you think Jeff could help him? Again, another awkward silence. Then one of them muttered, “where is Jeff? We can never find him.” They then said “we will find someone to help you.” I walked back into the percussion section for another five minutes and still no one to assist. I finally had enough waiting around and walked out. On my way out, the three people I had asked to help me where yet again sitting at the front door. Is this what business has become? No attempt to assist me or ask me if there was something they could do. I had a very simple question. Will definitely be taking my business elsewhere!
No thanks. Too much with the know-it-all stuff.
11. Soulmates’ Music
Address: 939 28th St, West Palm Beach, FL 33407 , West Palm Beach , Florida , United States
I would definitely check this space out. Good people and even better music. A subtle space with a unique retro vibe. If you’re into Vinyl and Previous gen music, THIS is the spot. Best part right outside the door is a bar and a DJ spinning.
This place is incredible. Killer selection of very conditionally decent vinyl. And the prices are good too. I’ve spoken to the owner several times. Cool guy. I LOVE this place!!!
Such an incredible selection! I’ve knocked something off of my wishlist every time I’ve shopped here. Prices fairly reflect the condition of the record and I have yet to be disappointed. I’m so glad this place has popped up, a must stop for vinyl lovers!
12. TR Music & Voice Lessons
Address: 1610 Presidential Way #133, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 , West Palm Beach , Florida , United States
Aaron’s teaching method is very effective and had me reading music amazingly quickly. It’s always a pleasure going to my weekly lesson, even when I haven’t had time to practice as much as I had planned to (as a person with a toddler and a full-time job, among other responsibilities, my schedule is often daunting). Aaron has been very patient with me, and I appreciate his commitment to teaching me piano and helping me carve out some time for artistic expression and self-improvement in my hectic life. We also laugh a lot together, which is always a plus!
Brian did an awesome job adjusting the action on my lefty resonator guitar. I definitely recommend him if you need any work or adjustment on a guitar.
This has been a great program for our son. Very good music lessons, shows, and summer camps. It is great for teens who love music to be surrounded by 70 fellow teens that share their love.
Nick is an exceptional teacher in that he explains, motivates, demonstrates and advises in equal measure. He knows so much about music, technique and theory. He is kind and patient with my slow-witted fumblings.
13. AMP Shop & Music Parlor
Address: 776 S Congress Ave, West Palm Beach, FL 33406 , West Palm Beach , Florida , United States
+++++++++1 about what previous reviewer “lenporter” says: Bari and Shaun are awesome, knowledgeable and personable. They not only instill confidence that they’re going to do it right, but when you pick up your amp or guitar or pedal, etc., the repair, mod, set-up or whatever is in better shape than was even promised. These folks will guide you with advice if you need it, talk you out of spending big bucks if you don’t need to, and generally just treat and service you like it’s supposed to be done.
Super friendly, low key shop for musicians and their gear. Repairs, service, parts, consignments.
Extremely helpful
Thank you!
Good store for used equipment and service on your equipment. Friendly!
Good
Were good nice guys and womens
Sold me an amp for $130 that they didn’t even check at half volume (cuts out) and called that “fully serviced” and couldn’t do anything for me when I complained bc I live out of state.
Closing early on a Friday during season? Bad business practice. Sitting outside your shop at 4:45pm. Call ahead or schedule an appointment with these guys

14. Tambovsky Strings
Address: 1500 Clare Ave, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 , West Palm Beach , Florida , United States
Mr. Tambovsky was excellent. He took the time to explain everything, answer all of our questions, & then helped us make the choice that was best for us. He’s very knowledgeable and extremely kind. We had a great experience and would highly recommend his store and his expertise.
Such a lovely shop. Beautiful instruments to choose from, and nice friendly service.
We had our son’s violin repaired here. They did a great job, very quickly.
Tambovsky Strings provides great quality instruments and accessories, and Mr. Tambovsky is a very knowledgable and helpful especially for me as a local string teacher.
He didn’t answer the door. He smelled of alcohol. He told us and the guys behind that he didn’t want our business. He had started to leave when he realized that he had made appointments with us and the other fellow so he got out of his car to dismiss us. A very bad experience.
15. AMP Music Lab
Address: 120 S Dixie Hwy #207, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 , West Palm Beach , Florida , United States
My son has been with Amp for several years now and has loved it from the start! He is 17 years old now and both Travis and Nick have been such an inspiration and exceptional role model for him. He does play the piano but wanted to learn how to mix that with producing and has now even been inspired to take singing lessons. We are very fortunate to have found them when we did and hope to continue to excel with them. I can’t thank them enough for everything they have taught him!
Awesome place to learn music production!
Travis is amazing! We couldn’t be happier. He has helped our son so much. Travis is a wealth of information, and kind and patient. He was even able to integrate the system we currently were using at home into the lessons. He provides a well rounded approach to teaching DJ methods and covers music theory etc. We def recommend this class and can’t thank Travis enough. Our son DJ’d for our Halloween party and is already being asked to do gigs and he’s only 9! We can never thank Travis enough for this opportunity and his hard work and dedication to his students.
Excellent tuning of my 1917 Steinway L. A very demanding job.
Mr. Rickson performed it perfectly.
Great communication and quick delivery- I also felt the price was fair- ty!
First, let me say that I’m not a musical person – I confess to be tone deaf. But I am a woodworker and appreciate the workmanship of pianos. I took my sister-in-law to this place and the owner, Tobias, took a huge chunk of time out of his day to give us a tour and show us what they do. I was floored. If I were piano shopping, I would certainly start here.
free tuning with purchase, but not if you’re from out of town. Edit* My apologies as it was best offer on Ebay in which you saved money by avoiding Ebay fees by selling outside of Ebay and jeopardizing whoever’s account that was. I didn’t know best offer means “discount”. if that’s the case I’m listing it for 500,000 with a 95% discount!!!! Amazing!!!! and since you took this as a “bad” review, and decided to make this public, I’ll add my side of the story as well thanks for the hospitality and “free” help loading after I had asked your employee (the one communicating back and forth) if there was going to be help after we drove across the state to load it and he said yes or we would have brought all the right equipment plus extra men to move it. You were sure happy that “someone” made an offer and were finally getting it out of there…. so ya…. thx soooooo much for the customer service
Hamilton Piano is who I always have tune my Baby Grand Piano. Chris is a very good tuner, very polite and takes great pride in his work. He also asks you if you have any concerns before he starts which is very nice. The only thing I have to say is that my appointment was at 9:30 AM and he didn’t arrive until 10:00 AM. Thank you Chris and Hamilton Piano.
all went well. on time, at bid, works great!

Was looking for a studio to mix and master a track of mine, and Dream Machine came highly recommended by friends. I decided to try them out and was incredibly impressed. The entire team is super helpful, and really understanding. Was a great time sitting in the studio watching my track get mixed down, and the end product sounds incredible. Nothing but great things to say about these guys.
Total highway robbery save your time and money
The The studio looks just like its owner old broke and rundown needs a new upgrade…..
