OUR HISTORY

A lot has changed in the world while we have been around. Did you know that Hoffman Music is older than the use of traffic lights?! Our history technically begins with Mr. Van Ausdle and Bill Hoffman in 1909.  Hoffman Music was originally named and established in 1913 under the name of Van Ausdle-Hoffman Music Company Inc..  They opened the doors on Sprague Avenue, opposite the Historic Davenport Hotel.  Not before too long however, Mr. Van Ausdle separated from the company and Bill Hoffman brought in his brother Chris to be partners and changed the name to Hoffman Brothers Music circa 1930's. In the beginning, Hoffman did much more than music. Originally, we sold pianos, organs, band and orchestra instruments, phonographs, record, and radios, but we also sold chairs, sofas, beds, lamps, desks, dining and breakfast sets, flooring, and rugs!
