It is great to see that independent music stores are still alive and well when you see more and more Sam Ash locations and Guitar Center locations opening. Very friendly and knowledgeable service and a great selection. I would definitely recommend here. read more

Wholesale Music Instruments - Guitar Stores Near Me - West Melbourne, Florida

Wow! If you like supporting local businesses, saving money, and great variety STOP IN! We were passing through the area and walked in on a whim. The owners are extremely warm & welcoming, and zero sales pressure. My husband (a knowledgeable musician) ended up purchasing something and we got a phenomenal deal. This is a family owned business, and we bought a banjo that beat all the prices online. You won't regret checking this place out. We left with a banjo, and new friends. I'm not a big review poster but I pulled my phone out the second we hit the parking lot to give these folks the credit they deserve. Thank you for a great experience. Note: Someone below said something about the owner being racist.. um, the wife/ co-owner is a foreigner so I'm not sure what that may be all about? People need to stop pulling the race card when things don't go their way. read more

I was a paying customer who was dissatisfied with the treatment and pricing of the store. My product was used and priced at a steep increase. (In mind we just lost a beloved close family member) We were visiting customers on a Saturday. Wholesale Music Instruments sold me a John Juke 85 Violin in used condition with a used bow. They told me it would be 100 off the normal price. Ending with me paying 300 for the violin. After further research due to the violin not tuning/sounding right, we located online where the violin is classified as a beginner's and brand new with all new equipment was 199 before tax. I would understand a price slightly higher than online but to go to such a steep price and then originally be selling it for 400? When we reached out to rectify the issue the owner informed me stores price them differently (even though multiple stores had them listed at 199) and that we could return the item for a refund of 150. I saw a comment below where the owner said, "They are willing to work with you when there is an issue." I would say this was not my experience and they just wanted to make sure they made a profit off of us. If you visit the business, know big corporations' prices beforehand. I will not be a returning customer and I will continue to spread my experience with others. Be mindful of their Google reviews, they like to report low reviews and block those people on Facebook - they need the influx of new customers to continue having a business. They also do not respond to the Better Business Bureau because if they did they would have many negative reviews. U.S. Law states, "A single one-star review published by an actual customer cannot be defamatory, no matter how unfair it is for the customer to hold that opinion of the business." This is my PERSONAL opinion as a previous customer regarding this business. Be mindful that they like to lie in their responses to business reviews on Google; the son got a message from me on Facebook after he blocked my page from their business website (where I found HIS page). They got a handful of calls from me because the owner kept hanging up without allowing me to speak. Since that day I have had no contact other than them reporting my Google review (got Google to confirm). Be mindful of keeping proof of all communication since they like to state they will sue or claim harassment. read more

Very nice experience dealing with this store and the owner. I had originally purchased a beginners guitar (nice guitar for a start) for the purpose of seeing if I would stay with it and enjoy playing again. They did not oversell or try to up sale me on that purchase. Recently I decided to move up to a nicer guitar (a Martin D-18). The owner offered to take my first purchase back in trade on my new guitar and was more than fair with his offer. I look forward to working with them again for any service work or accessories I may need. Highly recommend this store. read more

Racist owner, recorded my parents even outside after leaving the store. When they walked in the store and minded their own business they felt un-welcomed and harassed forcing to listen to the old man behind the counter. My parents just decided to leave and the old man tell to them to "go back to their country" when all they did was look around the owner was nasty, the old man still following my parents all the way outside and taking video and there was a witness which is later my parents went back and talk to those who saw. read more

I've been playing for about 50 years and have lived in numerous locations across the U.S. I've done business with the big box guys, Mom and Pop stores, manufacturers and luthiers, but I will always choose a small business like Wholesale. I'm not well known but I appreciate being able to walk into a store where the owner recognizes you, remembers what you're looking for and makes you feel like a valued customer. In addition, when I've had things for sale, I've always been offered a fair price. Yes, it may take a bit of back and forth, but that's to be expected. I'm very aware they need to make a profit. Same goes for when I'm purchasing. More than happy to negotiate and if we can't agree on a price, so be it. They have their profit price point and I have mine. When I'm in the area and have spare time, I always try and stop in to browse, try a few things, hang out and swap a few stories. I would much rather support a business like this than a big box giant. read more

As we walked in the store for our first time looking for an outdoor amp and minded our own business, this old man behind the counter kept asking about this deal and kept forcing us to listen, he was not welcoming and rude. After a couple of minutes, we felt un-welcomed and harassed, being forced to listen instead of letting us look around; we just decided to leave. As we walked towards the door he shouted "go back to your country where you belong" when all we did was to try to look around for an amp to buy but we felt that he was guarding right straight from his counter and look who is coming, it seems like he doesn't want us to even go another isle. As we continue walking outside, this old man was still following us while videotaping. There was a witness, who we later went back and spoke to. Racism is sad and ignorant for those who have an open business to public in our town and cannot hold their feelings towards other because we are different color but don't think that we pay taxes as they do. Not all are illegals and criminals and not all are ignorant, bigot, and unprofessional like you! Shame on you! read more

Wonderful store! The selection was outstanding. They had super high end instruments as well as some for beginners. They had awesome customer service and several unique one of a kind guitars! Super helpful mandolin player was working when I went. I bought a nice ukulele from them. read more

I'm visiting my dad in Melbourne, had breakfast a few stores down from here. Decided to head over to check out their guitar selection and possibly play a guitar or two and purchase one if it was reasonable. I was greeted at the door 5 Mins before they opened by the owner. I told him I'd like to come in and play some guitars and before I could ever finish my sentence and tell him I'm looking for something new. He immediately tells me to "fuck off and go to guitar center in Orlando to beat up guitars." I've been to countless small music stores across the country and never have been met with such disrespect. Do not give your time or money to this pathetic small family business. You'd be better off buying something online then from this place. I hope they go out of business soon! read more

Ok, I am not a robot :) I got my guitar strings changed today. They cleaned the guitar, tightened the tuning pegs, put on the best kind of strings for my instrument and gave it back to me tuned and ready to go. WHILE I WAITED! And, get this - they gave me a discount! read more

I've been a professional vocalist/musician since the early 70s and have purchased gear from music stores all over the US and beyond. I can in all candor tell you that I have NEVER received such professional service and honest down to earth treatment like I have at this store! Gene, his lovely wife and Kevin are all some of the most gracious and generous people ever in a retail environment! I sincerely recommend Wholesale Music to all of our friends and associates in the industry and beyond. If I could I would give them fifty stars. Charles Knight. read more

This is a really good place to go... if you're white. The store owner was extremely racist and claimed that we didn't know how things worked in the United States. It didn't even cross his mind that we were born here. He pretty much demoralized my friend twice and every time we tried to play any of the guitars, he would make us put them back up and would say how much his guitars were priceless and how we shouldn't be touching them. He even said he had to wipe down all the guitars after we left because he didn't know which ones we touched. At first I was considering buying an amp but honestly the selection is limited, the prices are crazy, and obviously the customer service would have been better at Steak and Shake at 3:00 in the morning. So yeah, do yourself a favor and take your business else where. read more

I bought an acoustic guitar from them and the owner is a very nice man. I brought the guitar back after a few months because I felt it needed a proper set up. Bear in mind that I've been a touring musician for many years and just moved to Vero Beach to live near the ocean. When I walked into the store to inquire about the set up, I was met by a salesman at the store who was young and the ist thing he said to me was what kind of strings do you use.? I told him Dadarrio 80/20 which he said were a lousy string and that's probably why I was getting buzzing. It was all I could do not laugh in his face but I was patient and I told him I've been using those strings for years and they are very well engineered. Anyway he said well I use DR's. I said great but I don't like that string as it's very inconsistent and you may get a good set or one that's contains some bad strings. I felt Dadarrios were much more consistent. Whatever string somebody chooses to use is a personal choice so for him to criticize me right off the bat told me one thing only. The guy is a total JEMOAKE! The owner sensing my frustration, recommended a guy named Norm Jacobs in Cocoa Beach who I went to and he did a very nice job setting it up. So the moral of the story is if you go to this store, stay away from the aforementioned idiot and deal with the owner. read more

Went there a few times before and each time the racist owner would talk crap about all the other music stores and used the N word as well. His prices on everything are sky high. Customer service is limited, lacking professionalism and the owner says totally inappropriate remarks. Judging from all the other reviews, you can see I'm not making this up. Guess because he's from Kentucky and thinks he's a Nashville County star (he sucks in my opinion) he thinks he can say those things and charge Nashville prices. TheY don't even servIce amps or guitars either. So, needless to say, that's the last time he will be rude to me, as I'll never be returning for any reason now. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE. read more

Really nice people working there! I went to go look at acoustic guitars and they showed me what would be best for me. They were all very friendly and kind! Great place to purchase an acoustic guitar at!!! read more

Way over priced. On no planet does a Fender American Strat from the 90's cost $1200-1300. Annoying workers that follow you around telling you what everything is instead of just letting you look at what they have. Never going back. read more
