Company History

Dollarhide's Music Center began operation on March 1, 1988 on Palafox Place in downtown Pensacola, Florida. The Baldwin Piano and Organ Company was the principal supplier. Other products included band and orchestra instruments and guitars and amplifiers.

In 1990 the adjacent building was renovated to house the expanding business. The Roland Corporation and Piano Disc, a budding digital player piano manufacturer, had named Dollarhide's their dealer the same year.

On May 1, 1998, needing more space, the store was moved to a free-standing two-story building on the edge of Cordova Mall in Northeast Pensacola.

In June of 2000 the company was named the representative for the Allen Organ Company for 17 counties in NW Florida and South Alabama. That same year the company exited the guitar business.

2002 brought the company to another move, this time back to Downtown Pensacola to a 15,000 sq ft prominent retail building at the corner of Palafox and Romano Streets. It also saw the end of the relationship with Baldwin as that company fell into difficulty and bankruptcy.

In 2002 Dollarhide's was named the regional dealer for Steinway and Sons pianos which also includes Boston and Essex pianos.

Between 2002 and the beginning of 2008 the Pearl River Piano company and the Hammond Organ company authorized the company to represent their products. In the spring of 2009 Dollarhide's was named the regional dealer for Yamaha.
