To all our friends and customers: 

Sadly, our day has come to an end.  In the first week of February, I hurt my back badly enough that I was not able to work (and a month later I am only now beginning to get a bit better but I still cannot lift anything more than a pound or so as per doctors orders). I simply can't afford to keep up the pace and the bill load of the shop with no income, so I officially have closed the shop.  I might be back with a shop at some point in the future, I might try to work for another shop, I'm not entirely sure what the future holds at this point, but I wanted to stop and thank our customers for all the good times and for being our friends and business partners, we had a good run of what would soon be 23 years....

P.S. 

I intend to keep the blog here open just so that I can continue to post stuff that is informative and relevant to our school music friends and teachers.
