Kolstein Music Inc.

Music stores keep a neighborhood’s sound alive. Kolstein Music Inc. sits where Baldwin’s main thoroughfare meets the daily rhythm of Long Island commuters, offering instruments that bridge generations of players. At 720 Sunrise Hwy, the shop becomes a quiet landmark between the highway’s hum and the side streets where practice scales drift from open windows. Latino-owned and run as a small business, it reflects the area’s blend of cultural traditions and local commerce—one where a guitar case slung over the shoulder feels as natural as a morning coffee. A call to (516) 546-9300 can answer questions about availability, repairs, or lessons often arranged through the same space. Directions are simple: pull up the map and follow Sunrise Highway until the storefront appears. If you’ve ever driven past wondering where local musicians source their strings or reeds, this is the spot.
