music retailers unplug mom and pop music shops across the country, Glenwood Music continues to hit the right notes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Located at 3102 Blake Ave. Suite D, the local full-service music store owned by Joe and Ann Rodgers recently expanded its current location by 2,800 square feet and plans to celebrate with the community on June 15.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">When Rodgers moved from the D.C.\/Baltimore area to Denver, the instrument technician knew that the big city life was no longer for him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWhen Guitar Center came to town it very much changed the landscape and they bought up the mom and pop, brick and mortar store that I was in for many, many years as a service technician,\u201d Joe Rodgers said of his former instrument repair shop on the east coast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">After heading west, and following a brief stint along the Front Range, Rodgers purchased Glenwood Music from friend Larry Gruber in 2010 when it still operated out of its former space, 715 Cooper Ave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cAs much as there was a need for [musical instrument] repair out here, it was not enough to be a full-time, twenty-four seven business,\u201d Rodgers explained. \u201cI quickly realized you had to diversify.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In December 2011, Rodgers moved Glenwood Music into Blockbuster\u2019s former location in the Roaring Fork Marketplace and has continued to sell and rent musical instruments as well as offer lessons and equipment repairs ever since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">However, earlier this year, the mom and pop music shop\u2019s expansion made way for a warehouse and loading dock to house more musical inventory as well as a piano showroom and an enclosed humidity controlled acoustic guitar and ukulele area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe take great pride in selling Colorado acclimated used pianos,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cAll of my pianos are screened by my piano technicians before they even come in, to make sure that they are in 100 percent playing condition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Additionally, the newly constructed acoustic guitar and ukulele room not only protects the integrity of the instruments but also allows their true sounds to come through, according to Rodgers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe needed something a little more dedicated and something where the customer could really hear the instrument better,\u201d Rodgers said of the humidity controlled acoustic guitar and ukulele room. \u201cPeople can really hear the subtle differences now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Glenwood music will host its \u201cExpansion Grand Opening Celebration\u201d from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday, June 15, with food, drinks, live music and substantial door prizes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cOther than sound checks it is going to be nonstop music all day long in that new area,\u201d Rodgers said of the musicians that will perform in the new piano showroom at the celebration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Artists performing will include Joe Kelly, John Michel and Michael Jude, Vid Weatherwax, Feeding Giants and others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cOur number one motto is musicians helping musicians, which is related to treat others the way you would like to be treated,\u201d Rodgers said of Glenwood Music\u2019s recipe for success over the years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe even get comments from the tourists, \u2018Oh, I wish there was still a music store like this in our town.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:mabennett@postindependent.com\">mabennett@postindependent.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a
