We have relocated Caledonia Music Centre from our main floor location at 14 Caithness St E to the lower level at the same address.

The lower level location, was formerly a Ultrasound and X-ray clinic, had been gutted approximately 10 years ago and was is a state of disrepair, having since been used strictly for storage.

With the help of my wife, our staff and customers / friends of the business we have undertaken the move to and slow transformation of the new space.

We are now operating in the new space while renovations continue to proceed over the coming summer months.

I must acknowledge and thank the following folks for their help, often on short notice:

Eric Anderson, Matt Foster, Jon Glasser, Dane Wilson & Raven

For help on the Reno’s and move, Patrick Kett, Peter Winegarden,

Our Landlord, Bernie Braemer for his partnership and patience,

And for their tremendous support, efforts and faith, My Wife, Sandy Scott and amazing teaching team, Dan Letwin, Jordin Willms & Ty Inglis.
