Music Shops in the Area

   Listed below are five well known music stores in the Irwin/Greensburg area:

Monroeville Guitar Center - Guitar Center is the Walmart of instrument stores.  GC's are slowly pushing the smaller stores out of business.  Guitar Center is also affiliated with Musician's Friend.

Vittone's - Vittones is located next to Gabriel Brothers, off of Route 30 in Greensburg and offers a variety of stringed and classical instruments, repairs and PA rentals.  Some of their prices are a little ridiculous.  I once paid $20 for a pack of Elixir Acoustic strings.

Cindy's Guitar Plus - Cindy's is also off of Route 30, located in the lower Plaza next to Phoenix Stadium 18 in North Versailles. I got my start at Cindy's and know the surly owner, Randy.  Cindy's also offers lessons, repairs and starter packs. 

Main Street Music - Formerly Swissvale Music, Main Street Music is now located on Main Street, Irwin.  They offer repairs, retail, rentals and lessons.

Progressive Music - Progressive is located on Walnut Street/Fifth Avenue/148 in McKeesport and was named one of the top 100 music stores nation wide.  They offer rentals, repairs and lessons.

Let me know if I left any stores out.
