Above is a picture of my father John William Chesnut. He passed down to me and my children the passion which we have for music. This picture sums up the beginning of our musical heritage. We are a family owned business that was established in 2009. Our entire family plays music of many different styles which is how we formed our store. If you come to our store you will find that we offer a wide variety of stringed instruments from high quality manufacturers at an affordable price.

I grew up playing music with my father at churches. He played on the radio Sunday mornings before church and traveled to play at churches with the "Long Quartet". As the years went by he brought my sisters and me with him to sing on the radio and at churches. Ever since then I have been playing guitar and and stringed instruments. This is a tradition that was passed on to my children who helped me start this business. They along with me developed an inventory centered around quality instruments in a friendly atmosphere. We offer good trade-in values on your current instrument as well as very reasonably priced new inventory. Our goal as a business is to let our customers know that we are musicians trying to give our community a place they can trust, where they can relax and feel at home when they pick out their new instrument.
