Chuck Levin’s Takes Home Multiple Awards at the 2025 NAMM Show!

The 2025 NAMM Show in Anaheim, California, was an incredible experience for the Chuck Levin’s team. Beyond the excitement of exploring the latest innovations in music gear and connecting with industry leaders, we were honored to bring home not just one, but multiple prestigious awards!

NAMM Top 100 Dealer Awards

Chuck Levin’s is proud to be the recipient of the Innovation Award, which celebrates retail members who go beyond traditional sales and service to create an immersive shopping experience for their customers. According to NAMM, “We’re living in a time of rapid change and disruption. The Innovation Award highlights a retail member’s commitment to reimagine the retail experience and focus on the consumer. Retail stores are looking beyond price and service to create an immersive shopping experience, in-person and online. They are often filling a void in the community and becoming a marketplace by bringing the consumer and music together.”

We earned this award for our Chucksclusive exclusive product program, a carefully curated collection of unique, limited-edition instruments and gear that you won’t find anywhere else. These collaborations with top brands bring our customers exclusive designs, finishes, and features that celebrate creativity, craftsmanship, and individuality. We have been fortunate to work with many incredible brands and instrument makers as part of these collaborations, including Bartel Amplifiers, Bedell Guitars, C.F. Martin & Co., Charvel Guitars, Fender Guitars, Fryette Amplification, Gibson Guitars, Godin Guitars, Latin Percussion, PRS Guitars, Spector Basses, Taylor Guitars, and Theo Wanne Mouthpieces. 

Being named a NAMM Top 100 Dealer finalist was an incredible honor, but we were especially proud to be among the top three nominees for the Dealer of the Year Award—standing alongside some truly outstanding retailers. Stay tuned as we continue to push the boundaries of what a music retailer can offer! And don't forget to browse our Chucksclusive collection!

AIMM Skip Maggiora Culture Award

At this year’s NAMM Show, we attended the 2025 AIMM Summit, where we were honored with the Skip Maggiora AIMM Culture Award. AIMM—the Alliance of Independent Music Merchants—is a network of top independent music retailers and vendors working together to strengthen and grow our industry.

This award recognizes retailers that embody a strong, customer-focused culture, fostering a passionate and welcoming environment for musicians of all levels. It’s a testament to our commitment to making Chuck Levin’s more than just a store—it’s a community built on a shared love for music.

On-Stage Early Adopter Excellence Award

In addition to these major industry recognitions, we were also awarded the On-Stage Early Adopter Excellence Award by our friends at On-Stage. This award celebrates retailers who champion new products and bring innovative solutions to their customers. We’re always excited to introduce the latest and greatest gear, and it’s an honor to be recognized for our efforts in making top-tier music equipment accessible to musicians everywhere.

Thank You!

These awards are not just a reflection of our store but of the incredible community that supports us. To all of our customers, fans, and industry partners—thank you! Your passion for music drives us to keep innovating, growing, and striving to bring you the best gear and experiences possible.

Stay tuned for more exciting things from Chuck Levin’s in 2025!
