Our feelings about music run deep, and part of it is because it’s the career everyone in the store has chosen. Most of us work day jobs as music teachers in schools, but we also have professional music experience. For instance, our owner and general manager Mike Fumento spent much of his career as a touring drummer. He and his brother and partner, Tony Fumento, played together for many years in a rock band, where Tony on bass and Mike on drums formed the rhythm section. 

Piero’s Music basically has two different sides to its business: sales and service of instruments; and music lessons. Both of these areas are geared to support our clientele, which means that we do a quality job at an affordable price.

The first thing anyone who walks into Piero’s Music will notice is our wall of stringed instruments. These include electric guitars, acoustic guitars, electric basses, ukuleles, banjos and a few things that may look unusual, like a parlor guitar. Sometimes, we have these unique instruments because we find a good deal, and we know that some players are inclined to have more than one guitar. 

As you walk into the store and scan, you will see a lot more music gear. We have a nice selection of amplifiers for instruments like electric guitars and basses, cables, microphones, tambourines, drums, cymbals, keyboards, violins, saxophones, trumpets. Behind the counter you can see our selection of electronic equipment, and you’ll see drumsticks, guitar picks, bass picks, capos, tuners, strings, effects pedals. The list just goes on and on. 

Guitars are a popular instrument for local players, and this area has produced some guitarists, bassists and other musicians who’ve gone on to pop music fame. A few names who have band members from the area or who lived or grew up in Bayonne and Jersey City include rock act Vanilla Fudge, R&B legends Kool and the Gang, new wave act Blondie, bluesman Popa Chubby, and Woodstock guitarist Richie Havens. We are really proud to point to so many success stories that began or made their way through our area.
