History

Established in 1959.

Quinlan & Fabish Music Company was founded in 1959 by George Quinlan, Sr. and his business partner, Tom Fabish. Both Mr. Quinlan and Dr. Fabish were music educators at DePaul University who felt a responsibility to provide the best products and the most reliable service available to the community. Their idea to help Chicagoland area schools build music programs, help young music teachers find educational opportunities, and put high quality instruments into students’ hands led to the foundation of a family music store on the south side of Chicago. As music programs continued to grow and expanded into the suburbs, so did Quinlan and Fabish. Since then, a dedicated focus on quality and service has continued to set this family company apart from competitors. George Quinlan, Jr. joined the company in 1979 and serves as our President and CEO today. Our Founder George Quinlan, Sr., held steadfastly to his philosophy through the years as he continued to guide our company until 2013.
