The Minor Chord Music Outfitters

01/01/2023

A HUGE THANK YOU to all our loyal customers for your support and friendship over these many years - especially to the many of you who stopped in over the last few days to say goodbye in person and/or posted goodbye notes here on Facebook. Running an independent music store is a labor of love, and we have certainly felt loved by our musical community. We'll miss you. Keep making music!

IT'S TRUE! Carl is retiring!! So after 38 years of serving our local community The Minor Chord will be closing its doors soon. But in the meantime, we have dozens of quality name-brand instruments in all price ranges that need new homes.

To encourage you to adopt one (or more!), we're offering 10% OFF ALL in-stock instruments, amps and accessories while they last - EVERYTHING has to go!! That means prices even lower than you'll see online. (Owners set prices for consignment items, but we encourage you to make offers on those too.)

If you're not in the market for music gear right now, at least come in to say goodbye. We'll miss you!

The Minor Chord is a family-owned independent community music store serving eastern and central Massachusetts since 1984. We specialize in acoustic guitars by C. F. Martin, Taylor, Furch, David Webber and Yamaha. We also stock electric guitars and basses by G&L and Ibanez, ukuleles by Kala, digital....

THE TELES ARE COMING!!! THE TELES ARE COMING!!!
Actually, they're already here... We have the best selection ever of Tele-style electrics: Fender Telecasters and G&L ASATs, both new and pre-owned.
Leo Fender's Telecaster design has withstood the test of time with its clear, incisive tone that floats out above any band. When Leo sold his original business to CBS back in the 1960s, he sold the Telecaster name too. But his updated Tele-style design, the ASAT, is even better.
Head over to www.TheMinorChord.com for a complete list and details about each of these great instruments!

OUR PRICES are always competitive, but you may not realize HOW competitive!

Our suppliers tell us what prices we can advertise on our web site or in our emails. But once you visit our store or call, they can't tell us what price we can actually offer you. We might be able to do better than the advertised price - and sometimes WAY better, especially on higher-end guitars.

The only way to find out is to call or come visit!
