| Mountain Music is much more than just a retail store. We’re a Music Center for our community, providing mainly string instrument sales, rentals and repairs, as well as space for teaching, workshops, rehearsals and acoustic jam sessions. A specialty is working with schools on string programs. We also sponsor concerts, contra dances and other musical events.
We try to stay abreast of the latest in music technology and products so we can offer you the best value at affordable prices. And you won’t have to scroll through pages of product listings with us. We’ll give you only what we think is the best, along with the unusual. So, even if you don’t live in Tehachapi, California, come on in to the virtual Mountain Music and join the jam!
