Tony & Rose-Marie George

Tony George opened Tony's Music Box Ltd. in 1975, along side his wife Rosemarie (pictured below). They worked as a team until illness forced Rosemarie to step away in 1998. Tony stepped away in the mid 2000's leaving his son, Michael, to carry on serving the music community along with a group of misfits who offer a shopping experience that is uniquely Tony's. Tony, the founder and patriarch of the business passed away in July 2022. He loved the business, the community, and the opportunity to interact with customers and suppliers alike.

I began working at Tony's Music Box with my dad in 1987, coincidentally when I became a mother. I have been working alongside my brother Michael now for many years, and I currently manage our Print Music Department. I am also responsible for Accounts Receivable. I look forward to helping customers find the music they're looking for!

I have been Tony's Repair Technician since December 2003. I have been playing guitar since the mid sixties, and pedal steel guitar and dobro since 1976. I have toured every province in Canada, several States in the US, and in 1984 completed a tour of the UK. I retired from music as a full time occupation in 1984, and opened Palmer Precision Gunsmithing in Fredericton in 1985, eventually doing all facets of gunsmithing and rifle making. 
 Many of the skills I learned as a gunsmith have been invaluable in the work I do at Tony's. I derive great satisfaction from doing the finest work I am capable of on the instruments and amps entrusted to my care, in the hope that my work will further the customers enjoyment of their instruments. Tony's is also a warranty repair station for Fender Musical Instrument Corporation for instruments and amps, and is frequently entrusted with warranty repairs on other brands including Taylor Guitars. I still perform live with several bands (Flat Top, Sleepy Driver, Matchstick Mike) and participate in recording sessions at several studios.
