Spectra Music began in 1987 when a young couple in Rustenburg took a leap of faith and invested everything they had into a small music store. What started as a risk grew into a place where musicians, students, and friends gathered for decades.
Spectra Music was founded in 1987 by Archie and Martie Marais in Rustenburg, South Africa.
Here at Spectra Music, we would love to build a timeline of the friends who have been part of our journey in the music world. Many of you have grown alongside us over the years, whether you purchased your very first instrument here or simply stopped by for a set of strings for a favorite guitar in your collection.
If Spectra has been part of your musical journey, we would love to hear your story,if you’d like, a photo of you and your instrument. Some of these memories and stories are shared on our Making Memories page, where members of our community reflect on their experiences with Spectra Music.
Together we are all part of a closely knit musical community, and your story helps tell the living history of Spectra Music.
