In 1963, Dan Strait moved his family to Austin, TX from Houston to open a Baldwin piano franchise. He had been working at a Baldwin franchise in Houston for years and when an opportunity opened in Austin, he pounced on it.
The company was called Strait Piano and Organ. His motto was “Where customers become friends.” Slowly, Dan saw the opportunity to expand to a full-line music store, and in 1967 Strait Piano and Organ incorporated and became Strait Music Company. A reputation for good products, good service, and good prices led to a steady growth in business. After surviving the Memorial Day flood of 1981, which nearly “sank” the business and all of its inventory, Dan decided it was time for his son Robert to manage the store, which he still does today.
All of Dan Strait’s other children have been actively involved throughout the store's history, including his daughters Nancy and Danna, and David Strait, who still manages the piano department today. We are clearly still very much a family-run outfit with David, Robert, and now the first 3rd-generation Strait, Clinton, all working daily at the south location.
We are very proud of our history and we are still run on the same principles that Dan Strait himself set forward in the early 1960s. We are consistently ranked in the top 10% of all music retailers nationwide, so bring in your family to see ours and let us help you with anything musical.
