The only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 is because I don’t really deal with the store..
I’m there for the lessons, which two weeks in is absolutely 5 star! I am so comfortable with Joe, he has such an awesome attitude, he makes sure I understand and he tells really great dad jokes! oh F it, if Joe is there it’s got to be a 5 star store, Joe knows good stuff!
Btw, I’m 59 taking beginner guitar lessons.. you should start your musical journey with Joe at The Music Go Round in Bradenton
Ordered a Jared James Nichols signature guitar Old Glory I received it in great condition with all its accessories that were not even mentioned in the listing, I’m extremely happy with my purchase, thank you music go round.
I like the idea of new and used music gear chain store. They are able to access instruments and equipment from all over the country. The salesman could have been more knowledgeable but overall, it’s really good.
Cool place, wide variety of”stuff”. Decent prices, no haggeling. Staff wasn’t overly friendly and had to track down someone to test an amp.
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
Played three instruments and all three had issues. Speakers have holes on them. The employee told me he knows nothing about amps
They have no knowledge of their inventory. Selling used instruments at the brand new price. Better to buy new somewhere else at least you wont have issues or over pay. Stay away!!!!!!!
store is kind of preoccupied. i go there to get supplies for my parent. i mean its a music store. i listen to music my parent sends me to stores. i find its okay but who knows
Great dude runs the place. Stage is solid. Sound is good. Plus a bathroom. Great rates.
Best rehearsal and recording studio around.
Reasonable prices. Great for bands that want to play on a stage with lights and PA. Just bring your own guitars & amps.
Trash boi if you go here you a walking L

Excellent! Amazing prices! Some of the best I’ve ever seen at a brick and mortar record store, even better than discogs. The records are well organized, and they don’t just put out beat up records that no one will want like almost every other record store in the country. The staff was friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I found some pretty uncommon 45s that were priced super low, as well as some LPs that were a priced very well. I went through every record in the store and was very excited as I flipped through, because I knew if it was something I liked the price would be right and the record would be in good condition, not something that happens very often for me. These people know how to run a record store instead of a record graveyard. Thank you!
This is a great place to find the gems you’re looking for. Great selection, very knowledgeable, and great service.
If you’ve ever visited Bananas in St. Petersburg, you know how massive both locations are. This place is tiny. TINY. And yet, it might pack even more coolness into that small space than Bananas has in their two labrynthine (I made that word up) stores.
Like Mojo in Tampa, every employee here is ridiculously awesome.
Prices are good — extremely good. They also have books, RARE but not overpriced … things … magazines I’ve fallen in love with … and a garage of bargain bins that gave me as much happiness as the main selection.
The closest record store to my house is 45 minutes away. Others are an hour or more. This one is twice that and WORTH IT.
Small, but wonderful store. Very good selection of musical styles.
Very nice selection friendly staff.
Unusual selection of music. The owner is happy to see if they can get hold of anything they don’t have on-site.

Janice was very kind, warm, and welcoming. This is a little gem of a music store. Small but surprisingly well stocked with a variety of instruments and supplies.
A very pleasant visit!
Perfect
Great local music shop!
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.
Renting a cello for my vacation on the beach was the bomb! Jim threw in a couple of guitars also.. Made our vacation so much better! Thanks !
es un buen lugar para comprar instrumentos
Very friendly and encouraging. My daughter is learning to play violin at school, the lady was informative and genuinely interested in my daughters learning. I will highly recommend visiting Keyboards& More. My daughter and I left inspired to do great things with our music and art. Thanks for taking the time to chat with us.
Nice people helpful
Knowledgeable on music and able to help
Very helpful staff! Great selection.
Sometimes. It’s good not to speak…

I love that they’re still controlling the flow of traffic as much as possible without being invasive while people shop. COVID-19 is not over and some of us still care
Excellent sales assistance in the appliance division from Joanna.
Very helpful mobile phone folks. Saved me 1000.00
Realmente me pareció que estaba con precios altos y con poca variedad de mercadería
Very helpful service and lots of choices.
They know where everything is.
Rude employees, long wait times, no help, and uncaring management.
Really bad experience. I was hoping to replace my computer and transfer my info to the new computer. The representative tricked me into buying something that was not to my needs and i had addressed this to the store manager who acted clueless. So i returned the computer and will never return there again
Worst Best Buy I’ve ever set foot it. Store was dirty, poorly lit, empty shelves, and while I’m sure there are people that “work” there I didn’t see any in the 20 minutes I was looking for someone. DEFINITELY find another store and avoid this one.
The customer service in this store is unsurpassed!
I love this Music store. Bryan and Grant were very helpful in finding the parts I needed for my guitar..!
Bryce was very helpful finding me what I needed and fit it in my budget.
Very good, had what we needed and were very helpful.
They have a huge floor with instruments you can try out to your heart’s content. Percussion instruments, string, electronic… they have it all. The staff seem knowledgeable about the instruments and when they aren’t, they find someone who is. Everyone here clearly has a passion for music, both staff and customers. Pretty affordable for a music store and they have great rental and used instrument systems in place.
Difficult to locate a staff guitar person to have demonstrate guitars but after I spent 15 waiting I spoke with a very friendly, knowledgeable man named Grant. He answered all my questions and helped me with accessories and sale of guitar.
Okay gracias
My husband and I went in about 2 weeks ago to buy a used saxophone. The one he really liked had a screw broken that held the neck on. So it had to be sent out to be fixed. I asked if you could buy it and come back to pick it up after the repair was done. The guy said he could not do that. So I made it clear we wanted that sax. I left my name and number and asked to be called as soon as it came back so we could buy it.
Well today Dec 17 I called to check on it and the guy showed him the wrong one and the one we wanted was sold. I do not recommend this seller.
The guys in the store were very cooperative except the guy in the drum department. Very uncooperative. He acted like you were bothering him the whole time and it happened both times I was in. Will not go into a Sam Ash again!!
