Music Encounters

George Smith's Kimball Music Center opened September 27, 1966 in Anderson, Indiana. George and Norma, to start out, had a small inventory of Kimbal pianos and organs as well as a teaching studio. Lonnie and Scott, George and Norma's two sons, grew up in the business helping on deliveries, set up for fairs, organizing the shop, etc. In 1969, the present location was bought and moved in to. The business became incorporated and was renamed George Smith 's Music Center, Inc that very same year. Since 1969, the store has been added on to in three different stages. From the front it appears to be very small ; once inside there are showrooms, teaching studios. Then if you venture on to the back into the warehouse, you will find a workshop and woodshop which have all been added on to further satisfy our customers as best we can. Lonnie and Scott service the pianos and organs in the tri-state area and beyond. Both of which have a degree in electronics. George has played professional most of his life ; for presidents, first ladies, senators, church conventions, weddings, and funerals. He is also the staff organist at the beautiful Paramount Theatre in Anderson. George Smith's Music Center Inc, is soley owned and operated by the Smith family. We will be here for years to come, God willing, serving you with beautiful Hammond organs, acoustic/digital pianos, teaching, service as well as any other of your musical needs.
