History
Mountain Music began as a bluegrass musical instrument store focusing strictly on acoustic stringed instruments like guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, fiddles, and upright basses. This filled a void in the Chattanooga market for instruments that couldn't be found elsewhere. Over time, the store grew and the original owner decided to retire. In 2010, the store ownership changed hands. The new owner quickly realized that as other area music stores were closing, the options to Chattanoogans for instruments were dwindling. The decision was made that Mountain Music would honor its roots by continuing to offer the folk instruments it had always been known for but to also start meeting the needs of the community by diversifying its selection of instruments. The word got out that Mountain Music was not just for folk and bluegrass musicians anymore. Now, you can also get electric guitars, amplifiers, clarinets, cellos, drums, microphones and piano books.
