#50DEALERS – NEW YORK: Rudy’s Music

Rudy’s Music

New York City

Fran Pensa, Owner

New brands or lines you took on in 2013 with success? Although we’re constantly adding new products, we’re basically selling lots more of our standard high quality lines and brands.

Outlook for 2014? Business has been really good and seems to be getting better all the time.

Evolution in the industry you’re excited about?  We’re excited that people are coming back in a big way to independently owned stores. People seem to have gotten disenchanted with the big box stores. We have a following of loyal customers and many new faces as well who appreciate the “hands-on” attention that can only be found at a “Mom and Pop” music shop.

Product of the Year? Maton Guitars.
