SOUTH SHORE MUSIC

South Shore Music, in Weymouth, Massachusetts, started out in 1968 as South Shore Music Studio, by Pietro Volpe, an Italian immigrant, who taught everything from guitar to piano, accordion to trumpet, all the woodwinds and brass. Eventually, through the growth of student enrollment, there became a real need to supply accessories in the studio, so his wife, Ilva, also from Italy, began working in the store to sell accessories and eventually, musical instruments to students... In the early 70's, Pietro had the foresight to acquire the Gibson guitar franchise, which created a lot of excitement and business at that time. In 1977, the Volpe's bought the building that the store was renting, and doubled the size of the store... The best for music instruments, repairs, and lessons
