Company Information and History

   A Store Photo (Circa 2002)

Having completely moved this past year from our location in Port Washington, Long Island, NY,  we find ourselves reminiscing. The Port Washington Music House provided caring service and support to three generations of students, teachers and musicians since 1965. Now known only by our website name, TheMusicHouse.Com, we are still unalterably committed to our customer's needs, desires and aspirations as we begin our 15th year online serving you from our new home in Florida.

Meet our Staff:
Kandi Wasser, President, Co-founder and Manager of Operations,  Kandi's background is not originally in music (motion pictures and TV engineering NYU)...She is an advanced student of classical guitar and has acquired much musical expertise during her 47 years in the business. Kandi is responsible for many of the page designs on this site and continues to maintain it.  

With great sadness, we remember our  founder, Bernie Wasser, B.S. Juilliard, MA Columbia and only a thesis way from a Doctorate, NYU.  He played bassoon for major symphony orchestras, the entire run of the broadway show, "Man of LaMancha" and for many local organizations. He was five times Past President of Rotary International (Roslyn and Port Washington Chapters) who truly believed in their motto, "Service Above Self."   Click here if you would like to hear the Overture to Man of LaMancha.

Holli Ross, jazz vocalist has long been associated with the Music House. An adjunct professor at Hofstra University and Montclaire University,  she is one of the 18 highly trained and practicing professionals who taught in our studios. She now acts as Company Buyer and Consultant for TheMusicHouse.Com in the NY area

RB Wasser,  Vice President and now Co-Owner, is our Sales and Inventory Control Chief, who joined us in 2010, overseeing the shipping department and very caringly heading the Customer Service Department. RB grew up working at The Port Washington Music House before going off to College and knows every facet of the operation. We are so happy to have him back in the business.

Laura Stern,  Our very able Assistant Controller and Sales executive,  joined the team in October of 2011. She  has now added Marketing and Reasearch to her responsibilities.  

Joe Lancia, our Electronics and Lighting expert has traveled with The Who and  The Greatful Dead among other great names.

Since August of 2003,  the Rentals, Instrumental Sales, Repair and Studio facets of the Port Washington Music House have been in the capable  hands of Jonathan Watkins, Wright Music.  Our local clientele is finding the same excellent service still available.

In 1010 we moved our inventory of Gifts, Music Boxes, Kiddie Korner products and instruments from Port Washington, New York to Dade City, Florida where we have continued to serve our internet customers and our local clientele with as much caring as ever.
