Ashley Vargas photographs three Jacksonville family businesses that have built a legacy in our city.
Kelly’s Piano & Organ
The Kelly family has always been in the piano business so they decided to open their own shop in 1963, a few years latter they expanded the store so include a showcase. The Kelly’s Piano & Organ not sell, repair and tune pianos. They also hold piano recitals.
I had the chance to meet with Bob Kelly the current storeowner, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kelly. Walking through the place I felt this sense of calmness and peace. It was a very pleasant being in the piano showcase room. In the background you can hear an automatic piano playing.
