Built on Trust, One Instrument at a Time
In 1979, The String & Horn Shop opened its doors on Historic Main Street in Bryan, Texas. What started as a modest storefront has grown into the largest independent, family-owned music store in the Brazos Valley—but our mission has never changed.
For over four decades, we've been the first call for parents looking for their child's first rental, the trusted partner for band directors preparing for marching season, and the go-to shop for musicians who need expert repairs on instruments that matter to them.
"We're not just selling instruments. We're helping students discover a lifelong love of music. That's what gets us out of bed every morning."
Today, we're proud to be authorized dealers for the industry's most respected brands—Yamaha, Selmer, Bach, Jupiter, Gemeinhardt, and Eastman. Our repair technicians bring over 100 years of combined experience. And we've expanded our reach beyond Bryan and College Station to serve musicians across Austin, Houston, and beyond.
But walk into our shop today, and you'll still find the same values that guided us in 1979: personal service, honest advice, and a genuine love for music and the people who make it.
