The MAE Experience

A Journey Through MAE Music

Since 1963 the doors of MAE Music open like the first note of a favorite song- clear, warm, and full of possibility. Inside this vibrant music storefront, musicians of every age and skill level begin their journey, guided by a team that understands both the art and the technology behind sound.

To Your Left: Keyboards & Guitars

As you step inside, the left side of the store welcomes you with rows of gleaming guitars and an impressive keyboard department. Guitarists browse shimmering instruments while reaching for fresh guitar strings. From classic stage keyboards and cutting-edge synthesizers to MIDI controllers and vintage organs, our keyboard specialists help players find the perfect touch and tone. Whether you are composing in the studio, performing live, or learning your first scales, MAE's keyboard and guitar selection spans every style and budget.

Straight Ahead: Pro Audio & Recording

Walk forward and you will enter our Pro Audio department, where sound becomes science and art. Explore professional microphones, studio monitors, audio interfaces, mixing consoles, signal processors, and recording software. Whether you are building a home studio, upgrading a commercial facility, or outfitting a broadcast space, MAE's audio engineers provide expert guidance on every piece of gear that captures, shapes, and delivers pristine sound.

To Your Right: Drums & Band Instruments

Turn right and discover a world of rhythm and brass. The drum department echoes with creative energy as drummers explore percussion instruments and test out beats. Beyond the drums, our band instrument section serves students and professionals alike. A student carefully tests an alto saxophone, while another compares a rich-toned tenor sax. Woodwind players consult the experts on clarinet reeds, and a young trumpeter smiles as they discover a perfectly illustrated trumpet fingering chart. In the corner, a beginner strums along to a colorful ukulele chord chart, taking their first steps into music.

Bass Guitars & Low-End Excellence

Throughout the store, our bass guitar collection features everything from thunderous 5-strings to classic 4-string precision basses, fretless models, and boutique custom builds. MAE's bass experts understand that the low end is not just heard—it's felt. We will help you find the bass that locks in with your groove and defines your sound.

The Legendary MAE Stage

For decades, MAE Music's legendary stage has been hallowed ground for musicians. The most famous and amazing players in the world have graced this stage- sharing their artistry, demonstrating gear, and inspiring generations of musicians. From guitar virtuosos and keyboard masters to drumming legends and bass innovators, our stage has hosted unforgettable performances and intimate clinics that have shaped South Florida's music community. When you visit MAE, you are walking the same floors where legends have played.

MAE Repair Department

Further inside, the MAE Repair Department tells a quieter but equally powerful story. Technicians work with precision and care, restoring guitars, brass, woodwinds, and percussion instruments to peak performance. Every adjustment, polish, and tuning reflects MAE's belief that great music starts with instruments that feel and sound right.

Rentals & Backline Gear

Down the hall, the Rentals & Backline Gear team prepares for the next big show. From guitars and basses to keyboards, drum kits, microphones, and full backline production rigs, MAE ensures touring artists, venues, and event organizers have dependable, professional-grade gear- on time and road-ready.

Audio-Video-IT and Networking

The journey continues into MAE's Audio-Video-IT and Networking division, where music meets modern technology. Engineers design and install sound systems, lighting, video walls, streaming solutions, and secure networks for businesses, houses of worship, studios, and performance spaces. From sales and installation to long-term support, MAE blends creativity with cutting-edge AV-IT integration to make every space sound and look its best.

And at the heart of it all is MAE itself- a place where beginners become musicians, musicians become artists, and artists become professionals. Whether someone arrives searching for a trusted music store, instrument repairs, expert rentals, or full-scale audio-video-IT networking sales and installations, they leave with more than gear- they leave with confidence, connection, and inspiration. 

This is the MAE experience.
