My daughter surprised my by telling me she needed a clarinet the next day for school. I went into Cadence Music and they handled everything with no issue. I was able to leave with EVERYTHING my daughter needed for a ton less than I expected. Guys behind the counter were super nice and gave me a bunch of option on how to rent/buy the instrument. They even offered to deliver the Clarinet directly to my daughters school. They have a serious selection of all new and pre owned instruments. I would recommend Cadence to anyone in need of an instrument rental.

I have no words to describe how great the service is at Cadence! This family-owned company helped my family during a tough time. They are so generous and did not hesitate to make us feel like part of the music-loving family. If you were thinking of purchasing an instrument or looking for a loved one, do not hesitate to come to Cadence. This company is not just a business, it’s family. They made us feel as though compassion still exists. Because of them, our loved ones are able to continue to play for the glory of God! 10/10!!

I researched band stores from Ft Myers to Tampa to Sebring. Most were not interested in speaking with me. Some tried to upsell me. When I called Cadence, I had a good conversation with Gregg and decided it was worth it to make the 2 hour trek. Bradley met me when I arrived. He knew that I was interested in a John Packer and let me try it on for size. JP certainly has the best instruments I have played so I decided to get it and had cash all counted out ready to pay for it. Bradley came back with a $10 bill, saying that I overpaid.I could not be happier with the friendly, professional atmosphere at Cadence. Bradley could have easily slipped that $10 tip in his pocket and I would have never known the difference. They directed me to the correct instrument for my ability and purpose. I also feel JP has the perfect line of instruments for the serious student majoring in music or a first professional model.

The staff here is exceptional. We had a situation occur in our family and there became a major issue with our account. My sister spoke with Greg and he was so understanding. He spoke to his manager (I’m so sorry I didn’t get their name) and they worked together to rectify the situation for us. We greatly appreciate their kindness and understanding towards us. In our time of sadness they worked together to rectify this situation for us. We greatly appreciate the kindness and understanding towards us. In a time of sadness, their acts of kindness has really gone along way.There are still good people and caring companies out in the world.

They are very friendly and knowledgeable and willing to help with any problem you have. If they don’t have a solution they will do what they can to find it. They let you try instruments with no issue and give good input when needed. I’ve been going here for almost 10 years now and I love them!

I wanted a new flute but didnt know what I wanted. Gregg patiently and happily presented 5 flutes for me to try in a private room, educating me all the while. Eventually I played 3 different flutes and the entire staff voted which one they thought sounded best. It was a blind test and no one knew but me which was which. They all, my hubby, and secretly me, chose the Gemeinhardt 33SB, also on sale and NOT the most expensive. Win/Win. Im 67 yrs old and have been playing my original flute, occasionally professionally, since I was 8. Great experience and I trusted them implicitly. You wont be sorry!

Cadence has been my go-to music shop for 10 years. I have had my flute repaired there, purchased quality ukuleles, purchased piano music from their large selection of piano methods books, and my child takes drum lessons there. Its a great place with a very knowledgeable staff. Im glad they are conveniently located in the middle of town too.

I was given a baritone horn that was playing very sharp. I called Cadence and they came to car, got horn and made diagnosis. They gave me several options for a new /used horn and so wonderful. I never left my vehicle. I haven’t had such great customer service in YEARS!!! These employees (Luke and ???) were incredible!

We bought a 3/4 violin for my boyfriends son last year and couldnt be happier. Not only is the instrument perfect for our needs, but it was so great that we adults started enjoying it and are about to go pick up our adult 4/4 violin today! The entire staff was more than helpful with all of my many questions and they were even nice enough to help us place the training tape locations on the neck. Im so excited to start my adult journey with my violin from Cadence Music! Thank you so much! We will be back for sure :)

Super helpful, excellent customer service! They are a part of the local music community, so they knew exactly what my son needed (Im not a musician, but I felt perfectly comfortable). My son is thrilled to be starting high school with his step-up instrument! This is the beginning of a long-term relationship for our low brass needs!

Wanted to start playing my trumpet again, what better way than to buy ashiny new trumpet from Cadence Music. Chris N. was who helped me andwith great patience and professionalism on his part, led me to the horn thatwas the right one for me. I had a very pleasant morning at their store andeveryone was very nice. They also can service instruments. I highly recommendCadence Music.p.s.My best memories of school are of band and my wife and I have enjoyedgoing to marching band competition’s in SW Florida many years. Hope thatband and music will remain a strong commitment in our community’s andfor young people to start their best memories.

I was looking for a flute and Todd had the flutes in stock that I wanted to try. He was extremely helpful on the phone. I went into the store and spent quite a bit of time playing them; they were very helpful and I was able to find a wonderful flute that I am so happy with. Their prices are very competitive. I really appreciate being able to buy my flute locally and help a local business.

After considerable research to locate and then discuss my needs with a competent repair facility, I left my Elkhart Conn 88H trombone with Todd at Cadence in North Ft Myers FL. There were hand slide issues that were largely masked to me due to built up tension in the end crook and inner and outer slide parallelism. There was also a small dent that was mirrored in inner and outer slides that required lots of burnishing. Additionally the rotary valve was removed, realigned etc and main screw replaced that was hanging by a thread. Slide and rotary valve then ultrasonically cleaned. Huge improvement now in how the horn responds and sounds.I am a retired HS Band Director and play professionally through SW FL. This horn is a main workhorse for many venues. Todd put much time into my complicated repair and refurb. I would recommend Cadence Music services to any colleague.BestJohn CooleySarasota FL.Sent from my iPad

I had a great experience at Cadence: kind and knowledgeable people (especially Todd) in a warm and friendly shop. If I lived a bit closer, I would be a regular customer. I made a special trip to see an instrument, and it was worth every mile I drove.

From a public school music teacher standpoint, Cadence is super easy to contact if I ever have questions, need repairs, and/or music. As a professional musician, Cadence has supplies I need quickly (and don’t have time to wait for shipping schedules) for reasonable prices. Their staff is very knowledgeable about all types of instruments/music, and are willing to go the extra mile to help their customers. I would recommend any musician of any level make Cadence their first stop for their music-related needs!

During the Pandemic, I wanted to buy a keyboard to relearn the piano. I had lots of questions and wanted to buy local. I chose Cadence Music in Ft. Myers. They were a Yamaha Dealer and that is what I wanted. Cadence Music allowed me to pick up the things I wanted To purchase in a safe manner following all the CDC guidelines.

I have had several reasons to visit Cadence. First was a couple of repairs on my double bass. Alex is a master and repairs were done well, and reasonably priced and quickly. (One repair had a deadline which he met.) Then I was in the market for a new clarinet. Todd took the time to work with me and talk me through the pros and cons of the clarinets I looked at and played. This is a great music store and I highly recommend them. They have a great team.

I’ve been a happy Cadence customer for almost ten years. They offer products for all musicians at all levels; the skill and expertise of their staff are also top-notch. But today I was reminded of another aspect that sets them apart: the level of service they provide.We are fortunate to have Cadence Music in SWFL !

I am a professional oboist in southeast and southwest Florida. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Cadence Music to have my instrument repaired. From the moment I walked into the shop, I felt welcomed and at home. The staff is extremely courteous and are eager to help you with your needs. My instrument was repaired by Todd H., a wonderful tubist and absolute wizard of a repair person! I provided a list of issues I was encountering and he followed it to the letter checking everything I listed, while correcting issues that I did not list. Words will never be enough to thank him for his ability, talent, and zest for musical instruments to be in tip-top shape! I was also able to see the other repair technicians hard at work, diligently and respectfully handling the instruments in their charge. Very few shops of Cadence Music’s quality exist and in my opinion, they should be the standard by which others are measured.

During the quarantine, I decided to work on an old dream - learning to play the harp. Cadence Music had in stock the brand and style harp I most want to play, and delivered it too. Everyone I spoke with was professional, efficient, and kind.

I have a Selmer Mark VI alto. I used to play it a lot in my younger years. Ive never stopped, but slowed down a lot, playing once every couple of months or so. I knew it needed pads and tweaking. I dropped it off at Cadence on a Monday, and by the following Monday, without receiving a quote, went it to pick it up. I was a little upset that I hadnt gotten a call back and was going to take it to Tampa to get it serviced.Thats when I met Todd. He apologized for not calling and that he wanted to speak to me face to face. He realized what a beautiful sax was in his presence. He wanted to make sure I realized it. We talked at length about what needed to be done, what should be done and what could be done.I realized during that meeting, that he really cared about MY sax. Really. I told him to make it play like silk again... and boy did he! Tonight, I put it through the drill. I can play the low B-flat just as softly as I want and it responds. I can play the higher registers just as easily. It flows, its quiet again, and I am a very, very happy sax player. The only limitations this sax has is mine!Thank you Todd for caring about my sax. Im glad you took your time, as anxious as I was to get it back, I wouldnt change a thing. You have a true fan here. I will come back to you and recommend Cadence Music for any musician who has a high quality instrument at their fingertips. These guys get it!

I will say they have made an extrodianary effort to correct the issues we had. They have a fair rent to own program. The only reason I am rating 4 stars is because it did take some time. Overall make sure you are very clear what you want and what you will get

The owner is extremely rude and the employees are incompetent. I usually go to Mostly Music in North Fort Myers because the owner is nicer and knowledgeable about all instruments. he is not just out to make a quick buck by ripping off students. I am going to try First note in the Cape next because I heard, from a music teacher, they are less expensive and more honest than Cadence.

Be Very careful with this company. They charged me for a Rental on a snare drum that i never saw or even asked for. They said they delivered the drum to a Middle school for my son and the school knew nothing about a drum. Cadence then sent me to collections for $800.00, I found out about the drum from the collection company. FRAUD
