Music on the Move
Dietze Music is on the move. Dietze will close its 56th and Old Cheney location and move to Briarhurst Center at 48th and Highway 2—a short half-mile away—at the end of July. In their own words, the new location
… will offer convenient parking, lessons and repairs, a more open retail display environment, with lessons and a place for musicians to congregate and commune. WiFi and flat screen TVs will be available for parents and family waiting for lessons. Guitars, drums, keyboards, microphones and school band and orchestra instrument rentals will continue to be a specialty, with support services in print music and band instrument and string repairs.
In addition, the downtown guitar and drum shop will move to the new location. More details (PDF).
I’m glad to see Dietze continue to grow and evolve because, like many of you, my first instrument came from Dietze. I still remember going Downtown with my mom to pick out my trumpet in 1989. I think the conversation with the sales clerk went something like “Give us your cheapest trumpet. Nah, better make it your second-cheapest.” When I hit high school I went to the south location to select a new instrument, the one that carried me through my Cornhusker Marching Band days and which just may become Robbie’s instrument one of these days.
I’m also interested in Dietze’s move because Briarhurst Center is in my neighborhood. That little strip has quite the eclectic collection of shops. In one stop you can get bread, sushi, bait, a tan, brain training, a sign, a drum, a plant, and a beer. Talk about well-rounded.

Some say sushi is bait (not me, of course).

I always loved the juxtaposition of the bait shop next door to the sushi place!
