History

Spotts has been around for over 65 years! It’s roots can be traced back to the outer region of Punxsutawney, PA. There is a building that stands up-hill from a ranch style house that holds the beginning location of Spotts Music Center. Over the years, as businesses often do, Spotts has evolved through things like a Drumstick manufacturing company (at one point, one of America’s top manufacturers), an Organ Sales and Repair department, and  to it’s current state a full-line music retail store. Spotts Music Center started as a family music store and is still family owned and operated. Spotts has and will always be completely dedicated to customer service and satisfaction.
