It's the final chorus for Huddersfield town centre’s last independent musical instrument shop.
GTR, which has been selling guitars, drums and other instruments since 1999, says it can no longer compete with online retailers.
The store is expected to sell its last set of strings and drumsticks by the middle of May, say owners Marcus Johnson and Maureen Crawshaw.
As well as supplying Huddersfield musicians with all their gigging and practising needs, GTR was something of a community asset.
GTR began in Byram Arcade before relocating to Wood Street in 2002.
On Saturdays, the shop bustled with young and older musicians keen to try out new instruments – or just socialise.
Marcus, Maureen and other staff would offer advice, carry out repairs and even lend equipment to struggling musicians.
Marcus, who has been running guitar shops for 27 years, said: “We really enjoyed those days and it wasn’t that many years ago.
“We’d get 90 or so people coming in and asking advice and just buying a set of strings. That’s slowly changed.
“We were a community thing as much as anything supporting people in different ways.”
But the advent of online shopping and problems with suppliers made trading less and less viable.
When the lease ran out on their Wood Street shop last year, record store Vinyl Tap was happy to rent GTR some space in their basement.
But GTR has reached a critical point.
Marcus said: “We noticed that lots of our bread and butter sales – strings, cases and bags – were declining. Even though we had the stock people were buying online.
“We’ve had a lot of support over the years from regular customers who have been trying to keep us going.
“But it’s very hard.”
Sadly the picture is reflected across the UK and beyond.
Once popular independent instrument shops are succumbing to online retailers and faceless instrument megastores selling near identical gear.
Marcus, who will continue to repair guitars after the store closes, said: “It’s a shame but it’s the way of the world.
“There’s more of the hard sell in the big places because they’re on commission.”
Marcus added: “It’s a very sad time.”
