About Arledge Music Wire:
Founded by James Arledge in 1977, Arledge Music Wire exclusively produces and distributes bass piano strings to piano technicians across the world, located in Berry Hill and just minutes away from Music Row.
Arledge established a workshop with custom machinery and created proprietary blueprints for piano strings that have been used for world-class artists like Queen and David Bowie, and venues such as the White House, Olympics, and Ryman Auditorium.
At its peak, Arledge Music Wire maintained an operation with 12 employees, shipping strings internationally to piano technicians and piano manufacturers alike, creating a legacy of hand-crafted excellence and subject matter mastery in an industry niche with few experts.
With very few competitors and a strong reputation within the music industry, James is looking to exit the business and pass his knowledge of the craft along to an apprentice, with the end goal of selling the operation in totality.
The entire option is relocatable. However, the ideal circumstance would be to purchase the existing building in addition to the business.
This is a rare opportunity to own a unique, profitable business with enormous potential for growth. Serious inquiries only.
