History

Established in 2004.

Tune really began 18 years ago when I was helping my girlfriend, now wife, purchase her first real stereo. After discovering Naim Audio, our finest brand from England, I had a paradigm shift that involved asking musical questions of my stereo system rather than the merely sonic questions I had asked before, even though I was musician at the time. After 5 years working at the shop we got her system from, I decided to open Tune to bring Naim Audio and other brilliantly musical equipment to downtown Seattle and present it the way I think best suits the product. Tune opened in the fall of 2004 and has remained true to our vision while slowly growing through the last several years of a roller coaster economy. We are still here because people want genuine musicality and a personalized and enjoyable shopping experience. Come be a part of our history.

Meet the Business Owner

Connon P.

Business Owner

I have loved music since I was a small boy and grew up with The Beatles’ Abbey Road and Simon and Garfunkle’s Bridge Over Troubled Water on the turntable. I first learned to play bass for a talent show at QA Thriftway’s Christmas Party on the Skansonia ferryboat on Lake Union. My co-​worker and I learned to play What I Like About You by the Romantics and I have been playing music ever since (we didn’t win, as I recall). I started Tune to fulfill my vision of what a stereo shop experience should be that would allow people who love music to connect with music daily on an emotional level. My understanding and experience of music as well as my easy going nature and scientific and biological education all contribute to make Tune the successful shop that it is.
