About Cenla Music

A Music Store That Understands the Musician

Cenla Music was founded on a simple belief: the best instrument is the one that feels right in your hands and sounds right in your ears. That's why every guitar we stock is strung, every horn we sell is tested, and every keyboard we display is tuned and ready to play.

Located on Jackson Street in the heart of Alexandria, we've built our reputation on personal service — no pushy sales tactics, just honest advice from people who actually play music. Whether you're a parent shopping for your child's first recorder or a working musician looking for a reliable backline, we treat every customer like a fellow musician.

What Our Customers Say

Trusted by Musicians Across Central Louisiana

We let the experience speak for itself.

"I brought in my grandfather's old guitar for a setup and came out with a new one I didn't know I needed. The staff took the time to let me play five different instruments before I bought anything. That's the kind of store this is."

Daniel M.

"As a music teacher, I send all my students here. They have a great selection for beginners and the repair turnaround is fast. They've saved me more than once when a student's instrument broke mid-year."

Sarah C.

Music Educator

"Finally, a music store in Alexandria that doesn't treat you like you're wasting their time. They answered every question I had as a complete beginner and helped me choose an instrument that actually fits my budget."
