Tarheel Music began in 1995 in Dunn, N.C. as the brainchild of Rick McDuffie and Harry Tueting (of Harry’s Guitar Shop in Raleigh). Rick, who was then pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dunn, NC and a professor at Campbell University, missed being involved in music and was looking for a way to get reconnected. Rick and Debbie (Rick’s wife) bought Harry out just two years later. Rick and Harry, who have been close friends since high school, still play together in the rock band Mister Mustard.
“Tarheel Music is a bit a different breed of catâ€, states Rick. “We’re not trying to out-do the big box stores at everything... we focus on the things that WE are best at... service, repair, convenience, the personal touch. We’re a dealer for companies like Fender, Peavey, Samick, Audio Technica and we carry a line of products from folks like Shure, Community, Sabian, Zildjian, Remo, Boss, Gibraltar, Ernie Ball and many more. Jon Berrier does a great job managing the retail end of things, and with Scott Aker (guitar tech) and Anthony Bene (band instrument tech) we have two of the finest repairmen in the nation. I’m extremely proud of what we do.â€
Tarheel also buys and sells used instruments, and works to keep a good inventory of used gear. If you have good used gear to sell, come and see us!
