|
Size: |
|
As the nations largest family-owned musical instrument retailer, we've served
millions of musicians worldwide. Each and every day our direct-response business (which includes
this website) ships hundreds of orders and handles thousands of customer inquiries to our call
center. While our size and reach means you get the very latest gear at the lowest prices, it
doesn't mean you get ignored. We strive very hard to provide the highest level of service in the
business — an approach established when our first store opened in 1924. |
|
Inventory: |
|
We are dealers for nearly every major brand of musical instruments and gear
you can find. On any given day our distribution center is stocked with millions of dollars of
products — many times larger than the inventory of even the largest stores. We also special order
customer instruments, parts, and hard-to-find items on a daily basis. |
|
International: |
|
Shipping is limited to U.S. addresses and our dealer agreements prevent us
from selling products outside the United States. |
