About Me

Bernunzio Uptown Music is an international mail order business and Rochester, New York's premiere guitar store. It is located at 122 East Avenue in the heart of the East End cultural district. We specialize in vintage and handmade stringed instruments and related parts and ephemera. John and Julie Bernunzio have been buying, selling and trading for over 30 years.
We stock unusual and unique instruments as well as more standard and traditional items. Our particular area of expertise is banjos of all kinds but we sell lots of guitars, mandolins, ukuleles and violins as well. Our Parts and Ephemera inventory exceeds 1000 items from hard to find parts to old tutors and songbooks, photographs and new books, posters, tapes and CD's. Our goal is to make the purchase of a musical instrument an enjoyable experience for our customers and we strive for friendly, knowledgeable service before and after the sale.
