Stanroy Music Center

640 4th St. Santa Rosa, CA Northern California's oldest full service music store serving Sonoma County for over 60 years!

Stanroy Music Center first opened its doors in August 1947 at 622 4th street when the first owner, Stan Goldman, returned to his home town of Santa Rosa after serving in various Army bands during WWII. From that original store, Stanroy had the spirit and desire to become the leading music store in the North Bay. In 1980 Wayne Anderson purchased the store from Stan and moved it to the previous 14,000 square foot location at 741 4th street. Since that time the store has continued to keep its commitment to the music community by offering free clinics, renting instruments to school students, maintaining private teaching studios and having one of the largest instrument repair facilities in the state.
