Services
Bringe Music was founded in 1956 by original owner, German violin maker Walter Bringe, who moved to St. Petersburg from Rochester, NY. In the early days the store focused primarily on selling and repairing orchestral strings. Mr. Bringe did some business with schools, mostly selling strings and equipment to the orchestra programs.
Private lessons, group music courses, professional educators, and reasonable tuition rates!. Our School tuition is paid monthly, the last week of the month for the following month's lessons. Monthly tuition is $76-$95 per month for 4-5 lessons at an individual rate of $19 per 30 minute session. Due to heavy activity at the Bringe School of Music, we do not offer make-up lessons for those missed by the student.
Professional instructor, Amber Pipkin, who has many years of teaching experience here at Bringe Music!. If you need a guitar, a 2-month rental of an acoustic guitar with carrying bag is available through Bringe Music and may be purchased at the end of the course!. If you do not have your own guitar and need to use one and need to use one supplied from Bringe Music, the complete course fee is just $149!

Worst customer service. I've talked to Debbie multiple times. They have the wrong name on my account but correct payment information. I've asked them to fix the contact info so I can receive all messages. I've paid on time monthly for a flute rental $27 and change. Today i noticed a charge for $261 dollars from them in which I've never approved. Debbie "assumed" i was purchasing the flute. Fought me on refunding that charge, and then told me that If i don't return the flute by tomorrow I will be put in collections WVEN THOUGH IVE PAID MY CONTRACT PRICE MONTHLY ON TIME. Makes no sense.
It makes me wonder why they are going out of business. On top of it all it's challenging getting there when they close at 6pm. I work past that most days. They are also closed on Saturday.

I'll never understand how this place is still open, there are never customers in here when I've gone. Is it a front? The selection is ridiculously underwhelming. Everything is overpriced. The staff is always unpleasant. I would love to support a small business over the corporate places but I would much rather go somewhere that appreciates my business.

I just brought my flute in for repair. There are several tarnished spots on the flute in hard-to-reach spots-which is why I paid for a professional to get to them. $45 later and only one keypad was replaced and one tarnish spot cleaned. Some of the keypads still stick and the flute is visibly dirty. I'm so disappointed, I could cry. I feel cheated.

Expert personnel have been there since 1980's. For professional musicians and students. They offer affordable instrument rentals for students in band. I appreciate true musicians who work there and give expert advice. Instrument repair offered by trained instrument repair craftsman. This is the best place to go if you are looking for those who believe in band and musicianship.

Bringe school of music is an awesome place with an awesome staff and Debbie is the nicest person. I'm not sure why so many bad reviews but perhaps some of these people aren't telling the whole truth of the story. I've never had any problems with the school or the store but than again I follow their policy's and don't try to get freebies. Their prices are high but that's cause the quality is good and I know what I'm buying. :
