When we got there Paul was friendly with my whole family, kids included, and the same can't be said for some of the other music shops we've stopped at in the past. There was no pressure and he was happy to let the boys roam and gawk at his amazing selection. He is clearly knowledgeable about his gear, but very easy to talk to even for a non-musician like myself. He also helped answer questions we had about getting our kids excited about music and instruments. My boys have been talking non-stop about Mr. Paul's cool store and all the instruments they saw. I hope Paul & The Music Trader are around for many years to come, and I look forward to many return trips with my boys for upgrades!

Ron and his brother and pretty much every employee I've encountered there have been very nice and knowledgeable. I never feel pressured about anything and they have fantastic service. When they talk, you really feel like they know their stuff and I feel safe leaving my instruments with them. My first impression of the store was it's open bright space and nice colorful (but not tacky) rug. All of the other violin shops I've been to have been dark and tiny. Made me feel good about walking in there. It was back in 2001 or 2002. He had a great selection of cellos for every budget and I did end up buying a cello from him. Actually, Ron used to work at another shop where I bought my first cello (or maybe second, I can't remember). So glad he went off and made his own violin shop! The cello I bought was actually brand new (2001) and sounded like it was many years old! This actually says more about the maker than the seller, but the fact that RSV carried this magnificent cello is great. I was tired of shopping around, haha. I remember coming in another time to get a new bow and they gave me a few selection of bows to try but waited to see which one I liked before telling me how much it cost. Of course, the one I liked cost almost as much as my cello did! That one was thrown in for fun, I'm sure. A consignment piece from a principal cellist in Peru or Puerto Rico (somewhere, can't remember!). Anyway, just a little example of their range of selection. I settled for a bow in my price range and am very happy with it. They've got stuff for beginners and professionals, in my opinion. Unless you're a professional looking for something truly rare then this maybe isn't the place. Their accessories aren't bad either. Standard selection and they're good about helping me pick out a new rosin or something if I'm not sure what to get (since I don't buy these little extras often). They are right next to a music school too so it was nice to see that collaboration going on. I think he even did pick up/delivery of instruments to schools in the area (or even outside the area) because I remember seeing a Ronald Sach Violins van outside and may have asked what that was for. I think my primary/secondary schools could've had much better instruments if they just used RSV. I like how there's a window to their repair/workshop area, which adds to the open feeling of the store. No hiding in the back with your instrument. I could even go back there and see what they were doing if there wasn't too much going on. Before I moved out of state, I always went back here for all my cello needs. Even if I'd only come in once a year, he always remembered me. If it were financially reasonable, I'd ship my cello back for major repairs since I have yet to find another shop I like going to more than here. I'm glad Ron isn't old (at least he didn't seem old), so I don't have to worry about him passing away or retiring any time soon (fingers crossed!). Not sure if he trains other luthiers but they'd be lucky to learn from him!

I'm a local client of the St. Petersburg shop…read more After a fine first experience (Ron responded promptly to my voicemail, and then quickly replaced my violin's tailpiece and adjusted my soundpost and bridge), my 2nd and 3rd outreaches to him were utter fails. I mean, no response to my phone calls at all. I left another voicemail a week later, and an assistant whom I'd not seen or heard of before, responded (but was unaware and unconcerned about the previous lost call). Ironically, the about-face in Ron came after my expressing an interest in working for him as office manager or assistant there, after seeing how challenged he was overseeing multiple shops, and more, across the Southeast. After all, I'd just left behind lifelong close relationships with a couple violin shops back in California, being a lifelong professional violinist and also a retired financial client manager, who specialized in delivering customer service, including to difficult or high net worth clients. I'm unpleasantly surprised that this shop, so promising at first and so convenient for my needs (as it's only a 6-7 minute drive from home) won't work for me, after all. I'll drive all the way to another violin shop in Tampa for my future violin needs, as they have been responsive, helpful and even proactive in serving me thus far.

(A new record!) The nice man working the store was very helpful and was able to talk to me about their current inventory. They didn't have any Gibson guitars or pointy metal guitars, but their Fender and acoustic selection are solid. When I asked about specific products, he offered to call the store owner to haggle (awesome)! I didn't buy anything, we had to head back to downtown Atlanta for Coheed & Cambria, but I would certainly stop back in and/or haggle with them on Reverb. TLDR; looking for a Fender or an acoustic? Stop in.

** This review is just on the WeeJam Music Class for Kids **…read more We just attended our first Wee Jam class and it was so much fun! It is for kids ages 0-5, which at first I was nervous about, but it was fine. Parent involvement is needed, so if you think you are going to go and just watch, you are wrong. The class is on Saturdays before the store opens, and you need to per-register. It is an 8 week class that is about $130 for one kid and $200 for 2. The teacher gets everyone to sing songs, play instruments, and dance. My kids loved the drums and the songs. They made us all have a dance party and my little guy was rocking out to " We will Rock You" by Queen. It is nice that it is not all kiddy songs. They also were showing the kids how to keep a rhythm with drum sticks. I highly recommend this class to anyone with little rock stars!

I'm not the best at practicing all the time and as a child I was notorious for quitting extracurriculars (classic Millennial). Well, almost a year later, I'm dedicated to my weekly lessons with Nick. His studio is an intimate space for fostering creativity and collaboration, and I can't say enough about his teaching style. He is encouraging, patient, talented, and depending on what you'd like to learn, he can run through heavy music theory or help you figure out how to play your own stuff. He really tailors lessons around your own goals. I brought in some difficult starter music and instead of telling me to start with something easier, he helped me pick it apart and take it piece by piece so I could eventually play what I wanted. I highly recommend Sound Space and hope to see Nick's business grow - it's so incredibly inspiring seeing someone so passionate about what he does (and a wonderful person, to boot) become a blossoming success at his dream. So well deserved; I'm privileged to be a part of it.

Marla teaches violin and clarinet (maybe piano? I don't quite remember) and was basically right down the road from my middle school. She named her small business "Sandpiper Studios", if I remember correctly, because she was on a beach and her friends remarked at how successful the tiny birds were at catching fish. Thus, she wanted to be as successful. (I think it's really cute, ok?) I remember Marla did a really good job in teaching- how to tune the clarinet (the reed and mouthpiece only way!), customize/shave down store bought reeds, and music from a diversity of pieces, styles, and theory. I think classes were 13-15 per 30 minute lesson? I don't quite remember. Recitals were at the end of the year at a nearby church (the sounds are just gorgeoussss). Marla is a total sweetheart and though she isn't the absolute best you can get, I think most people would be able to benefit from her and enjoy not paying 100+ for lessons.
