The big news is that The Great Divide has passed into new hands. Joe DiSalvo and Michael Jude, both long term locals and musicians, took the helm on January 1st and plan to keep the shop what it always has been....a fine pro music shop for rockers and acoustic folks alike. They'll have a strong emphasis on the vintage trade, but will also expand the teaching program and remain the town's CD/DVD shop. They will also continue to represent The Great Divide's former dealers with the exception of Nugget Mandolins, which Sandy will continue to represent personally. Look for the new Nugget website soon.

I sold the store to two very big guys. After all, I'm 5'11".

Welcome to The Great Divide ... Aspen, Colorado's fine hometown music shop, CD and DVD shop, and nationally known fretted instrument center for these past thirty-seven years. We carry the best possible instruments (including pianos, Vintage Guitars, and electronic equipment) at all price levels, and we're most proud of our years as a music learning center in the Roaring Fork Valley. Check our Acoustic and Electric pages for all instruments including a very active Vintage Department. To see current listings of vintage instruments go to the Vintage QuickList We are so pleased (and gratified) to now be the exclusive representative of Michael Jones Vintage Guitars. Michael has been in Aspen the past eight years and is widely known for his ability to find and buy great old guitars and mandolins. Every week Michael finds a few gems, which we list on our site as quickly as possible.   (970) - 925 - 7492
