Detroit needs a music instrument store
Any time us musicians need a new string, stick, reed, drum head, etc we have to go to the suburbs to get new supplies. If anyone wants an instrument, take lessons, or get repairs, they also have to go to the suburbs, if one can get there. We're trying to open a store to fit these needs and be a community spot for active and aspiring musicians. We have the experience working in music retail, we're gigging musicians, music teachers, and we have the space picked out. We made it to the top ten in the Hatch Detroit contest and now it's based on public voting. If this is something you'd like to see, help vote for us to get the funds to make this happen. Thank you for your time.

Back in the day [[1960's) there was a music store on Harper and Chalmers called Artists. This was when Vox came out with their "Super Beatle" amplifiers. We used to make a pilgrimage there at least once a week. What a great place! There is a scene in Wayne's World where the guys go into a music shop and there is a sign that says, "No playing Stairway to Heaven". This could have been Artists. Everyone played guitar back then. We used to drool over the Telecasters, and Strats on display. Had a Epiphone 12 string at the time, used to dream about a "double -necker" but never had the cash. Does anyone know of another music shop on the Eastside closer to Mack or Warren? Thought there was another.
