Portman's Music

Portman's Music has been Georgia's premier music resource for over 87 years, proudly serving Savannah, Augusta, Albany, and Brunswick. Founded in 1910 by Sam Portman, our family-owned business has grown under four generations of expertise, evolving from a single Broughton Street shop to a leading retail and education hub for musicians statewide. Our commitment to quality began with Ben Portman introducing iconic brands like Gibson and Fender to the Southeast in the 1950s, and expanded through decades of innovation in instrument sales, rentals, and music education. Today, we maintain our legacy as the region's largest music store network, combining deep product knowledge with specialized services including instrument repair, band program support, and cutting-edge pro audio solutions. Our expert staff, many of whom are seasoned musicians themselves, provides personalized guidance through every stage of musical development, from student beginners to professional performers.

With dedicated teaching studios, extensive rental programs, and state-of-the-art gear selection, we serve as both technical specialists and educational partners for Georgia's musical community. Our fourth-generation leadership ensures continuity in business integrity while embracing modern advancements in music technology and education methods. From vintage collectibles to the latest digital instruments, our inventory reflects decades of cultivating relationships with top manufacturers and understanding musicians' evolving needs. This enduring commitment earned us the NAMM Top 100 Award, recognizing excellence in music retail nationwide. Whether customers seek performance instruments, sound system rentals, or personalized instruction, our stores provide comprehensive support backed by a century of trust and expertise.
