Roper Music

Since 1956, Roper Music has stood as Grand Junction’s central hub for band and orchestra instruments, guitars, and ukuleles. Founders Gil Roper and John Handley established the store to serve Western Colorado’s musicians, a mission that continues through its specialized inventory and services. The shop stocks accessories and sheet music suitable for students of all ages, while a professional repair team handles everything from string replacements on violins, cellos, and basses to complex fixes for banjos, mandolins, and dulcimers. A rental program offers affordable options featuring high-quality brands from major manufacturers for both beginners and pros. The business supports school music programs by providing educational supplies and offering convenient pickup and delivery services directly to schools for instrument repairs and summer maintenance. This ensures programs start the year with gear in top condition. The team aims to keep music accessible in the region by nurturing the next generation of players.
