The local music scene in Florence will be broken down in full today. We will try to cover as much as we can as quickly as we can, but this is definitely a broad topic to get into.
We think it is best to start with the best Florence musical instrument stores. Then you will find different lists for where to buy guitars near you and the best drum shops in the area.
Some may quibble about what store should go where, but we will try to differentiate them as well as we can. We aren’t sure if you are trying to buy keyboards, synthesizers, pedals, amps, or popular guitar brands like Gibson, Keisel, or Fender but a store on this page can probably help you out.

Where to get a broken instrument repaired will be where we go next. There are many repair companies that can tune a piano, repair a guitar, or work on all kinds of band instruments.
After that we will pivot to music classes and lessons for kids or adults before diving into local stores for music lovers with vintage CD’s and records. There are many places to enjoy live entertainment so you will learn about the best concert halls and music venues in your area.
Bars and restaurants with live music will also get their own sections. A discussion about the Florence music calendar wouldn’t be complete without giving a shout out to the festivals either.
At the end we will share a map to help you find these stores or venues. We have written about this country numerous times on our site if you want to read some more.
