In a time when so many music stores across the country have closed, Charlie’s Music of Hyannis is still holding it down for us and Cape Cod, and going all out for their customers.

The sign above the door says, “Welcome to Charlie’s instrument petting zoo”- and that is exactly what it feels like inside. Charlie’s has an almost overwhelming variety of new, used, and vintage instruments and equipment. It’s colorful, cozy, and packed with everything a seasoned pro or musical newbie would need as well as a healthy dash of humor sprinkled about the place. In addition to the wide selection of music books, guitars, brass + wind instruments, keyboards, amps, cables, connectors, and specialty items, they also handle repairs, rentals and special orders. They’ve also teamed up with StreamPros to provide easy access to an advanced Live and On-Demand streaming platform that offers live simulcasting for your next event.

"Charlie's Music is the best music store I have ever had the pleasure of working with- on three continents, and spanning a 25 year career in music. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and are able to source any piece of equipment I need. They service my instruments and even custom build me cables for specialist tasks and what they don't have in stock they are able to order. Even if you’re just getting started in music they will have what you need, not to mention the advice and knowledge to go with it.”
