Family owned and operated, the Horn Doctor has been serving the Anchorage Community since 1984.

John Kagerer graduated from Allied Music in 1978 and began his career as a Professional Band Instrument Repair Technician in the Detroit Michigan area. In 1980, John was drawn to Anchorage out of his love for the out-of-doors and the adventures Alaska had to offer.

John was the Master Technician for Armstrong Music of Anchorage until they closed their doors in 1984. John's love for the area and the need for his services, prompted the creation of The Horn Doctor Music Store.

Now in our third location, The Horn Doctor Music Store, Inc. is a full service provider for all your music needs. Please come visit "the shop" to see all that we have to offer.
