ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — After 56 years in the business, Musician’s Workshop in Asheville will be closing its doors for good.
A press release from the company says the Merrimon Avenue business, which has served Western North Carolina as “a cherished hub for musical instruments, sound systems and equipment, music instruction and repair services,” will be shutting its doors on Dec. 30, 2023.
CLOSING TIME: AFTER 8-YEAR-RUN, BUXTON HALL BARBECUE WILL SOON SAY FINAL FAREWELL
“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of Musician’s Workshop,” the Dosiers, owners of the shop, said in a press release. “We have had the privilege of being part of countless musicians’ journeys and have enjoyed every moment of serving this wonderful community. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our customers who have supported us throughout the years. It’s been an incredible ride.”
Founded in 1967 by John Moritz, Musician’s Workshop quickly established itself as a go-to destination for musicians of all levels selling pianos, organs, guitars, banjos and band instruments. It was in that year that Frank Dosier began working for Moritz as an after school job. Dosier worked through college and in 1977 he and his wife, Becky Dosier, purchased the company and have been successfully running the store ever since.
The Dosiers have decided it’s time to retire and spend more time with their family.
