I’m on the hunt for great music stores in Orlando, Florida, and I could really use some recommendations! Whether it’s places to buy instruments, accessories, or even sheet music, I’m looking for a variety of options.

What I’m Looking For:

  • Instruments: Specifically guitars and keyboards. I’d love to check out stores known for their instrument variety and quality.
  • Accessories: Things like pedals, cables, and cases.
  • Sheet Music: Recommendations for shops that have a good selection of sheet music would be awesome.
  • Music Lessons: If any stores offer lessons or know of local instructors, that would also be helpful.
  • Audio Equipment: Any local spots that sell recording equipment or sound production gear?

Preferences:

  1. Physical Stores: I would prefer places that I can visit in person to try out instruments.
  2. Online Options: If you know any reliable online vendors who ship to Orlando, I’d appreciate that info too.

Areas to Explore:

If you’ve shopped around or live in the area, it would be great to hear your experiences. What stores had the best service? Where did you find the best deals?

Looking forward to your suggestions! Thanks in advance!

Don’t forget about Guitar Center! If you’re into rock or metal, it’s the place to find all the equipment and even get some gear advice.

Classical music is tough to find! If you come across a good place, I’d love to know too. I’ve only seen some CDs at Barnes & Noble.

I’ve found that buying used instruments can save you a ton of money! Just make sure to check for any damages. Orlando has some great shops for used gear like The Music Shop. Worth a visit!

13

It’s true! But keep in mind that new gear usually comes with warranties. If you’re just starting out, spending on a new entry-level might be a smarter choice.

Great point, aguirebrad! I prefer used for vintage vibes but it can be hit or miss. Sometimes the quality can be fantastic and other times, not so much. Places like Orlando Vintage Guitar are a good gamble!

15

That is very true! I wonder if any shops in Orlando specialize in certified used gear? I’d love to explore those options more.

16

I’ve bought both new and used, but typically, new gives peace of mind, especially for electronic instruments. Just my two cents! Plus, you get that fresh smell!

17

Exactly! But for acoustic guitars or pianos, nothing beats the character of a well-loved used piece. It’s all about what fits your needs!

18

Orlando has some excellent shops! Don’t overlook Guitar Center either. They have a mix of both new and used gear, plus helpful staff to guide you!

19

For sure, webbjon! But I once had a bad experience with their return policy. Always double-check before buying, especially used!

I think it’s a balancing act. Buying used supports sustainability too, and you can often find one-of-a-kind instruments. But new gives you reliability. It’s a tough call!
