Your first and one-stop shop whether beginning or continuing a life of music! Roper Music has been serving the Western Slope for over 66 years. The story of the store starts back in 1947 when Gilbert Roper and his brother Judge started Roper Brothers Music and Electronics in Montrose, Colorado. A decade after opening their store in Montrose, Gil Roper decided to open a store in Grand Junction. Rop

er bought the Clark and Steen Music Store in March of 1956, and this location would become home to Roper Music. After buying the store, Mr. Roper hired Joe Grantham as a sales representative, who developed an excellent rapport with the local band directors. In 1984, John Handley joined Roper Music as a repairman. When Joe's health began to deteriorate, John began filling the position of sales representative, and in 1993 he took over the store, following Mr. Roper's retirement. Sadly, John Handley passed away in the summer of 2019. He was an amazing influence on the music community in the area. If you had a musical problem, John would do whatever he could to fix it. Months from his retirement, he handed over the reins to Kris, Seth and Patrick. All have strong musical backgrounds and are trained and certified repair technicians in their respective fields of orchestral, brass and woodwind instruments. Roper Music continues to support music education on the Western Slope with high quality instruments for beginners and those moving forward with their music. We have a wide selection of lesson, recital and school-specific print music and an excellent selection of band and orchestra accessories, guitars, basses and ukeleles!

Repair Chronicles Chapter - 6: Neck Dislocation
*
What are you looking at: The neck and fingerboard have fallen off this violin and is currently being splinted by a drum stick.
*
How to prevent this from happening to your instrument: During the hot and dry months of Western Colorado, it is important to NOT keep instruments in the car. The ridiculously high temperatures that occur in cars can melt the glue that holds string instruments together and can create problems, such as the neck and fingerboard falling off this violin.

How to prevent this from happening to your instrument: Silver tarnishes over time - that's just the nature of silver. Routine polishing with a silver polishing cloth and wearing playing gloves will keep your silver trumpet looking s**k and span all the time!

🎺It's International Tuba Day!!
The biggest sound with the lowest notes, the one that holds the whole band together!

National Tuba Day started in 1979 in Philadelphia when student Joel Day created it to give tuba players more recognition, later expanding it into major celebrations at Millersville University. The event has since spread internationally, and the tuba itself was first developed in 1835 by Wilhelm Wieprecht and Johann Moritz. It is the lowest-pitched instrument in the brass family and a relatively modern addition to bands and orchestras. - https://nationaltoday.com/national-tuba-day/
