Milano Music is partnered with Local First Arizona, a group which promotes local businesses in the state. Kimber Lanning, the organization’s founder and executive director, says it’s important to recognize the contributions businesses such as Milano Music make to the Valley.

“They are rooted in the community, they do so much more for our local charitable organizations and our schools than any of the big national chains do,” Lanning says. “Their customer service is like 10 times better. If you’re looking for something they don’t have, they’ll order it for you. … Their repair department is just brilliant.”
