Sam Ash is living proof that a company can be well-established and have a strong sense of history without being stuck in the past. The reason they've been able to stay at the top of their game for so long is because they keep firm ties to their roots while still keeping their finger firmly planted on the pulse of the music world. In 1924, the very first Sam Ash music store debuted in Brooklyn, New York, and brought to its customers the most popular instruments of the day: banjos and mandolins. Naturally, as times changed, so did the store - the company adapted to the changing market as the big band era brought with it the popularity of brass and woodwind instruments, and later the advent of rock 'n' roll brought on an intense demand for guitars, electric basses, and drum sets.
Their influence isn’t just limited to retail; not only has their company witnessed the debut of amazing music technology, they've even been responsible for introducing some of it. The first cymbal boom stands, the first rock-ready drum sets, the first affordable wireless microphones, and even the Les Paul Special reissue were all musical innovations that the Sam Ash company had an active hand in developing and introducing to the American music scene.
Today, with their mail order website, 24-hour customer service hotline and Sam Ash Music's retail stores nationwide, they're still far from finished. Sam Ash continues to grow and develop every single day with new ideas and innovations...and when the next big thing comes along, you better believe they’ll be there to bring it directly to your door.
When all is said and done, there is no part of their organization more important than their customers. Their customers are their lifeblood, and they're fully dedicated to helping each and every one of them bring their art to its fullest potential. No matter where you are with your music, they'll be there to deliver on the gear you'll need to raise it to the next level. Just supply the talent, and they'll take care of everything else!
