We are one of the midwest’s oldest keyboard instrument dealerships, in business in downtown Herrin since 1937! In our 75+ years, we have sold well over 10,000+ instruments, and have supplied instruments for special artists such as Ben Folds, Liberace, Billy Graham, Ferrante and Teicher, Lee Greenwood, and many others.
Our 20,000 sq. ft. of showroom space houses the very finest instruments from all over the world. Instruments from Baldwin, Mason & Hamlin, Seiler, Wm. Knabe, Roland, Rodgers, Viscount, and pre-owned instruments from many different brands. We pride ourselves on maintaining an inventory of instruments in sizes and price-ranges to suit every customer, from $500 starter instruments, to concert-hall quality grand pianos.
We are happy to have a fantastic “support group” of music teachers, tuners, and technicians in the area. These dedicated individuals understand the power and worth of music, and help us to keep music and the arts present in our world.
