History
We were selling tutus, leotards, and tights back in the eighties when Jane Fonda started to gain popularity with her exercise videos. Since I'm a musician, I decided to give musical equipment sales a try. Some people may think it might be a backwards way of starting a company, but since we had the infrastructure in place I decided to give it a shot. I really just wanted to have a little fun selling the music gear that I love. As luck turned out the Music Store opened right before the great recession and before the internet was a viable source of retail sales. This presented us with some serious obstacles as we fought to keep the dream alive. The glue that kept us alive through the hard times was that everyone enjoyed what they were doing. What could be better than selling the gear we love and working with other Musicians? As the owner I want to provide an environment that reminds customers of the feeling that got them playing music in the first place. Come in, check out some gear
