Our History
First opening its doors in 1996, Music Showcase was originally Cutro's Music. We carry a great line of instruments (band and orchestra, guitars, amps, keyboards, and drums), accessories, printed music, karaoke, accompaniment tapes and CDs, and a gift boutique. Some major brand names we carry include Yamaha, Selmer/Bach, Glaesel, Knilling, Roland, Fender, Pearl, Marshall, Korg, Martin, and Dean. At our store, you will find people who are real musicians and teachers. We carry the best products so our customers be their best and reach their highest potential. Any time we don't have something you want in stock, let us know and we'll try to find it for you! Quality is our service and we truly do care for our customers. Our involvement with public education include the work of four road representatives who regularly visit local middle and high schools for workshops, rental and lease information, repair pickups, and community news. Located in the same building, our ELITE Center boasts 50 qualified teachers who teach virtually all instruments. In addition, we house the Florida Academy of Performing Arts, which offers an exciting array of programs that is constantly expanding. We have musical theatre, showchoirs, group guitar, general music programs, orchestra, group violin, jazz band, rock band, drum line, open mic, and more. Our in-house repair shop turns most repairs around in one to three days. We repair strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and guitars.
