Langlois Music Co Inc

Family owned and operated, spanning four generations and over 100 years of tradition. Paschal was the first Langlois piano tuner. Xion, the son of Paschal Langlois, was a lifelong piano tuner in the Modesto, California area until the time of his death in 1982 at age 84. Edmond J. Langlois, the son of Xion and grandson of Paschal opened his piano shop in 1967 in a small rented garage in Modesto. Through hard work, Edmond built a thriving piano tuning and repair business, growing and expanding to various locations in Modesto. Edmond with the help of his two sons, Gregory and Phillip, opened a retail outlet for new and used pianos in 1981 to compliment the existing piano tuning and repair business. In 1983 the sheet music department was added and around 1989 the karaoke department was added to the lineup of musical products. After a short illness in August 1993, Edmond died, leaving the daily operations and management of the company to his wife Audry and son Phillip. On May 16, 1996, Langlois Music Company was completely destroyed by fire, including all the pianos, sheet music and karaoke products. Although a difficult task to rebuild, Langlois Music Company reopened in their present location within a year of the fire and are operating in full swing with a complete line of pianos and musical equipment.
