Acoustic Room
Report
We are proud of our acoustic guitar room we call the Acoustic Cabin. This humidity controlled room is the place we keep our better quality steel string acoustics, mandolins and classical guitars. Here you can escape the hustle and bustle of L. A. and peacefully sample our lines of Dean, Garrison, Peavey, Gianinni, Alhambra, Cordoba, Lucida, Aparicio, Ramirez, Morgan Monroe, Luna, Olinda and other quality guitars. Stop by and check it out for yourself. Rental
Report
Renting a musical instrument can often be a challenging and potentially frustrating experience for parents. There are many instruments, brands, and rental houses to choose from when deciding on an instrument rental. Unfortunately, there is very little information available to assist parents in this decision process.
We have been renting musical instruments to students for many years. We are proud to be partnered with a very large and reputable instrument rental firm called Music and Arts.

Ed Intagliata
Owner/manager
Hi! I'm Ed Intagliata the owner/manager of Cassell's Music. My father, Sal, and I bought the store from a retiring Al Cassell in 1978. The store has been in San Fernando, Ca. since 1947. Consequently, we have quite a long history with many of our local customers.
I graduated from Cal State Fullerton in 1976 with a major in Music Education. After graduating, I worked for a season in the complaint department at Sears. During that time I had the tremendous opportunity to be trained by an organization that many consider to be the best in retail and customer service. Sears' training along with my music education and over 22 years in the music retail business has equipped me to provide what I believe is the utmost in customer satisfaction. The hundreds of regular customers I'm on a first name basis with can attest to that.

With all the online services offered, it is refreshing to see that a real music store is still around! I think it's because Ed (the owner) is such a nice guy. Whenever I come in, he is so helpful. He has fixed various second hand instruments that I've brought in, and his prices are very reasonable. I enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere, and the good old fashioned service. Keep up the great work, Ed!

It’s been quite a few years since we’ve done business with Ed and Cassell’s as our children are grown and I now live in Arizona, but we have many fond memories of this shop. All of our children are still very much into music and our eldest a professional working musician. Nice to hear of the “play it forward” program for young beginners !
