Musicians Helping Musicians
Since 1933, Fort Wayne has been home to an incredible music store: Mynett Music. Many local students and veteran players — including our very own Chuck Surack — frequented this spot and fervently supported Mynett Music and their focus on education. For many of us at Sweetwater, our musical journey began in the classroom. Concert and symphonic band classes, show choirs, marching ensembles — these programs are of paramount importance to shaping the musical trajectories and creativity of young minds, and we feel a strong commitment to inspiring and influencing students and educators across the country. When Mynett Music nearly closed in 2016, Chuck stepped in to keep the vision alive. Fast-forward to 2021, and Mynett Music has officially merged with Sweetwater! By including band and orchestra instruments and accessories, we extend a new branch of our massive musical tree to anyone seeking top-quality band and orchestra products from the world’s leading manufacturers. Best of all, that mom-and-pop sensibility has remained the same, evident as soon as you walk into the Band & Orchestra section of our new and improved store.
