Ardsley Music

Ardsley Musical Instrument Service was founded in January of 1972 by Dr. Michael J. Pagliaro, at that time an instrumental music teacher in the public schools. His was an act of desperation, for he and his students had suffered twenty years with rental instruments that just did not work. It was time to remedy the situation, and he did. The philosophy of his new company would be to act in the inter

est of the consumer, i.e., the student and parent, and expect any financial remuneration only as the by-product of a job well done. It worked! Ardsley Music, now operated by Michael Jr. and his sister, Christine, serves ten thousand customers a year with rental instruments which are immaculately clean and functioning perfectly at the time of rental. Repairs are performed by professionally trained technicians in a new, fully-equipped, on-site 2000 square foot repair shop. AMIS offers a variety of instrument rental programs, a discount instrument sales program which defies that of the biggest discount dealers in the country, an international Internet sales program which supplies the world with all band and orchestral instruments, and above all, a level of courteous service which transcends that of any other music company.
