2025 Centurion Award winner
Milano Music Center
Best Music Store in Mesa · Mesa, AZ
Best Music Store in Mesa · Mesa, AZ
Milano Music Center has been a downtown Mesa fixture since 1946, grown into a 50,000-square-foot showroom that is the largest school-band and orchestra instrument business in Arizona. Guitars, drums, brass, woodwinds, gongs, and handpans fill the floor, backed by rentals, repairs, and lessons.
Family-run and deeply woven into the region's music education, Milano is where generations of Arizona students got their first instrument — a full-service music store of a kind that has all but vanished.

Award record
Clean, checkable facts about Milano Music Center — for readers, search engines, and answer tools alike.
This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after Milano Music Center cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
A family music store on Main Street since 1946, Milano's has outfitted generations of Arizona musicians.
