A Personal Message from Gordy Reece, General Manager (Sheet Music Service)

To our Sheet Music Service Customers:

After 93 years, Sheet Music Service will be closing its doors on May 14th, 2010. Our website will still be functioning and your Pender’s Music Purchase Orders and RFC accounts will NOT be affected, as Pender’s Music is ONLY closing its Portland office.

I want to thank everyone who has supported us though the years. I love this store, and the idea of its absence from Portland is deeply saddening. The hardest part for me will be the inability to interact with all of you on a regular basis. We have an amazing customer base and the friendships we’ve made will be cherished forever. As Lajos Balogh said to me after my last concert with MYS, "It’s not goodbye, its auf wiedersehen. We will see each other again.""

It has been my pleasure to work with all of you and I wish you the best.

Sincerely,

Gordy Reece
General Manager
Sheet Music Service

COMPANY HISTORY

Sheet Music Service was founded in 1917, and for more than 93 years it was a print music retail fixture in Portland, Oregon. The business was named and renamed several times over the years. In 1917, its founding year, it was known as Maud McCawley's Sheet Music Service of Portland. Names that followed included Burke-Hoyt Sheet Music Service of Portland and Byron-Hoyt Sheet Music Service of Portland. In 1967, it became Barker-Lins Sheet Music Service of Portland. And finally, in 1986, when Michael Sagun and David Wood bought the business, the name was shortened to Sheet Music Service.

In November 2005, Sheet Music Service joined the Pender’s Music family of stores, with Michael Sagun staying on with the new ownership as Choral/Vocal Manager. ONLY Sheet Music Service’s brick-and-mortar store will be closed as of May 14, 2010. Customers can continue to order online, anytime, 24 hours a day at www.sheetmusicservice.com or www.penders.com
