Fifth String Music Store is moving into a bigger, better location!

After 14 years at its current location on the corner of Alhambra Boulevard and J Street, the Fifth String Music Store is moving out. Don’t fret (pun intended); it’s not closing up shop for good. In fact it’s moving into a bigger, better location at 3184 N Street (the building that used to house Bicycle Chef). The new spot is approximately 4,000 square feet, so there’ll be plenty of room to spread out. Fifth String will still carry world-class stringed instruments from companies like Martin, Taylor and Blueridge as well as continue providing excellent lessons and repairs programs. Owner John Green even hinted to Submerge recently that he may eventually add a little stage and host live shows! Congratulations are surely in order for this family owned and operated shop that has done wonders for the local music community over the years. It’s nice to see a local music shop stay afloat in these tough economic times, let alone to expand and grow. Green and company are aiming for an Oct. 3, 2011 opening date at the new location. For more information, stop by their current location, call (916) 442-8282 or visit Thefifthstring.com.
