The Gramophone Inc

Bryan Taylor brings a lengthy classical music background to The Gramophone. The owner of one of Edmonton's best destinations for high-end audio and visual equipment, he's dedicated most of his life to music. “I have a degree in music and I played in the Victoria Symphony for 10 years,” he says. He also played in the Edmonton Symphony for 28 years as a trumpet player, and worked for a time as a stage manager.

Customers at The Gramophone benefit from Bryan's experience as a live performer and audio equipment expert; he's worked closely with the kinds of products customers are looking for. “People want the good gear we sell,” he says. “But they also want the setup skills we offer, like installation and home control – that sort of thing.” Bryan and his staff intimately know the entire experience of buying new audio equipment, from product selection to home installation. He says the experience customers have in his store is different from what they might encounter in a big-box environment.
