President
Company Name
Lou Capece Music Distributors

Lou Capece began selling musical products in the 1960s and has since become one of the industry’s largest musical instrument wholesale distributors. One of the successes of the company has been the development of their self-branded instruments with names well known around the world today, such as Oxford, DiPalo and New York Pro. After a long and successful career as a guitarist, Lou began selling accessories and instruments to his friends and fellow musicians. Soon the company grew enough that Lou could work full time for the wholesale business and travel less, making it possible for him to stay at home with his young family much more.
