11/13/2017 - New announcement below, and new blog just posted on blog page.
Man! I just found out that the Reservoir Music website has been down, in that the URL was pointing to the wrong place due to a Go Daddy clerical system error, for a month and a half!!! Just fixed, after an hour on the phone! Unbelievable! www.reservoirmusiccenter.com, back online after a 6 week absence, apparently!
While we’re on the subject, I’d like to invite you to visit my online stores, where you’ll find much more than musical instruments. I’ve got one on eBay, of course, but I’ve also got more narrowly focused stores on Etsy and Reverb. My Reverb shop, www.reverb.com/shop/reservoir-music-center is strictly for musical gear, as you would expect, but at my eBay store, http://stores.ebay.com/rezervoirmusic you’re just as likely to find items from the worlds of movies, sports, art, theater, fashion, literature, politics, popular culture, and cool shit, in general. My Etsy vintage store, located at www.etsy.com/shop/reservoirmusic, only lists vintage gear of all types. Between the three, you’re sure to find the perfect gift, or something cool you can’t find anywhere else for yourself!
Of course, there is some inventory overlap between the three stores, but if you only wanna check out musical gear, Reverb is for you. If vintage of all types is your bag, visit the Etsy store, and if you just wanna go to one site and view everything, go straight to eBay! I try to post new gear every day, so check back frequently to view new listings. There are many unique items, on all of the sites, many of which I have personally curated over the past half century! If you see anything you like, feel free to pm me here, and I’ll take it down and sell it to you for less than it’s listed for. Enjoy!
ANNOUNCING A NEW BLOG POST, UP TODAY, 5/6/17. CHECK IT OUT ON THE "BLOG" PAGE OF THIS WEBSITE.
Breaking news! The future is now! In other words, I finally broke down and opened an Ebay store! You can now find me on Ebay as Rezervoir Music, and everything I've got listed on the site will be there! (I had to change the spelling because an inactive Ebay user in Europe had Reservoir Music as his user name). Just go to stores.ebay.com/rezervoirmusic, and you'll be there! If you do check us out on Ebay, you’ll see that we have a lot more than just instruments and musical gear now.You’re just as likely to find items from the worlds of movies, theater, art, sports, fashion, politics, literature, entertainment, and popular culture in general! And more will be coming soon. I try my best to list something new every day!
Of course, I have not had the time to post all of our inventory online, yet, but I will, and when I do, you will be able to shop my entire shop, in seconds, buy anything, and have it shipped to you within days, online!
And, of course, I've got much more on Ebay than either Reverb or Etsy (see below), because Ebay sells everything, and the other two limit their focus only to certain categories. That said, if you see something you want on Ebay, I'd still prefer you bought it from Reverb or Etsy (lower fees). Better yet, look at it online, then just call me for the best price (no fees)!
Check out the post below for more information about shopping online with Reservoir Music!

Since I last posted in this space, so much has happened with Reservoir Music, and with me, personally, all of it very exciting! And now the time has come to share some of it with you!
In my first post here, after the retail store closed, (still readable below), I said that I would endeavor to post all of our inventory online, on this website, and our Facebook page. That hasn’t changed! However, in the process of moving into cyberspace, I discovered some really cool websites that have taken precedence. My goal is still to utilize this website, but inventory changes so fast now, that a regular website almost seems so last century, if you know what I mean!
To that end, I have discovered two sites that I feel act almost as partners with their clients, and are well suited for doing business in today’s fast changing world. These two sites are www.reverb.com, and www.etsy.com. Reverb is only for musical instruments. Etsy is only for handmade and vintage gear. Between the two, you can see all of my listed inventory in one, or really two, spots!
My address on Reverb is www.reverb.com/shop/reservoir-music-center. My address on Etsy is www.etsy.com/shop/reservoirmusic.
The beautiful thing about these two sites is that anyone can go there and simply search for “reservoir music”, and I should pop up! Technically, my store on Reverb is called Reservoir Music Center, but any combination of “reservoir” and “music” should bring me up! On Etsy, I’m ReservoirMusic, (one word. The capitals are optional), but, again, any combo of the two words should bring it up, although if you separate the words, it will ask you if you meant, “ReservoirMusic”, as one of your choices, and you will then have to click thru to get to my store. Once there though, again, everything in one place!
So, for now, Reverb and Etsy are the places to find me on the web. Oh, you might stumble upon me on Ebay, or Craig’s List, or any of the many others that I use, but if you specifically want to see what’s new with us, Reverb and Etsy will tell you. Reservoir Music Center on Reverb, and ReservoirMusic on Etsy. Again, capitals optional, but that’s technically the way it is. Of course, the easiest way is to just copy and paste the URL into your browser, and you'll go straight to the desired website. As I get a more complete inventory posted on these two sites and the others that I use, I will eventually, also begin to post here, on this website, and on Facebook, as well. For now, though, I’m moving too fast for the more static forms of cyberspace!
If you do check us out on Reverb and Etsy, you’ll see that we have a lot more than just instruments and musical gear now.You’re just as likely to find items from the worlds of movies, theater, art, sports, fashion, politics, literature, entertainment, and popular culture in general! And more will be coming soon. I try my best to list something new every day!
Of course, I have not had the time to post all of our inventory online, yet, but I will, and when I do, you will be able to shop my entire shop, in seconds, buy anything, and have it shipped to you within days, right online! Creating listings is a very time consuming process, though, and my sense of time has changed since my surgery last March. I’ve gone back to stopping and smelling the roses, even in the midst of a busy work day! I finally have admitted to myself that I ain’t as young as I used to be, and when that happens, your sense of time changes. As Eric Burdon so eloquently put it, 40 or 50 years ago, “When I was young it was more important, pain more painful and laughter much louder, yeah”! So I’ve become the tortoise in the race to get our gear online, but you know who won that race, right? Yeah!

RESERVOIR MUSIC HAS MOVED, once again, to an office in uptown Kingston! We are now working by appointment only, and online. Over the next few months, I will be posting all of our gear on this website and the Reservoir Music Facebook page. To that end, I have just initiated that process with our latest acquisition, a fantastic sounding and playing Taylor 25th Anniversary 410-R! The guitar is at the top of the acoustic guitar inventory page. More pictures are available on request. Our phone number and email address remain the same, and they are posted on the "Contact" page of this website. The focus of our business now is buying and selling fine vintage and modern instruments and gear, repairs, and band instrument rentals. If you've got any vintage or nice modern music gear to sell, or, if you need anything, please contact us.
The reasons for this change of location and mission statement are many and varied, but here's what it boils down to. I have health and family issues to address, the financials are much better, and stress and time management are vastly improved. Family, health, money, time, and stress is a hand that can't be beat!
Thank you all for the great run we had as a retail store! We eagerly anticipate serving the needs of the Hudson Valley musical community, and beyond, for another 9 years, and more!
