Farewell After 50 Years

2025 marks a milestone for Tony’s Music Box: 50 years. We take a moment to celebrate this accomplishment - one that so few companies come to experience. In an environment of hyper-competition, multi-channel sales, just-in-time inventory, and next day delivery, we have managed to endure as a family-owned, high-touch retail outlet that knows the names of our customers and deeply cares about the music community in Fredericton.

We have welcomed many budding musicians through our doors and helped them find their first instrument. They’ve grown from children into adults, and have brought their own children into our store to start their own musical journey. Our salespeople have become trusted advisors and friends to our patrons. Musicians themselves, our salespeople understand the joys, challenges, and triumphs of what it means to create and perform music. We’ve had seasoned musicians praise our shop; how their guitars play and feel better than they ever have after they’ve received the care and attention of our expert technicians. Acts, bands, fads, and trends have come and gone, and we’ve been here to experience it all with you, our most dedicated patrons - our family. It has been what can only be described as a deep honour and a privilege to have shared this journey with you.

We extend this heartfelt message in recognition of what we have achieved together, and because, like all journeys, this one has unfortunately come to an end. Over the coming weeks Tony’s Music Box will close its doors for the last time. We would have loved to shepherd you through the next 50 years and beyond; alas, we will certainly miss the opportunity to be part of the next generation’s musical journey. Still, life carries on and we extend our gratitude and best wishes to our patrons and the music community - past and present.

Michael, Terri, Kimberly, Matt, Jason, Austin, Dave, Justin, and Chris
