Our Staff
Chris Logan
General Manager
Chris grew up playing among the pianos at Logans while his father Geoff tuned, so it is no exaggeration to say that he was born to this role. Chris started playing the violin at 7 years old, but describes himself as more of a “music critic” today.
Over his 20 years in music retail, Chris has gained great understanding of the manufacturing and setup process of virtually every instrument that Logans keep in stock. A deft hand at setting up guitars and violins himself, Chris has personally visited the factories of many of the products Logans keep. Chris has been a part of the community for his whole life, and takes it as a personal mission to ensure that everyone who enters the store leaves with something they will be happy with for years to come.
