-----------------
Walking on a street in New Delhi, India, Brookline resident Dominic Cucinotti saw an Indian man selling wooden flutes for 25 cents each. That gave him an idea.
On a whim, Cucinotti decided to buy a couple hundred of the flutes to resell for a few bucks each in America. Now, almost 20 years later, Cucinotti owns and operates his own store, Dominic's Music, in Magnolia, Massachusetts.
After he bought the wooden flutes, Cucinotti resold them to different music vendors, including Emilio Lyons, the manager of Rayburn Music Company on Huntington Avenue in Boston. Lyons then gave Cucinotti some saxophones to sell on consignment and Cucinotti began selling musical instruments at local flea markets on the weekends. Six years ago, a space opened up in the Cambridge Antique Market and Cucinotti decided to leave his job at a computer company to sell and repair instruments full time. "Basically I decided to do it full-time because I was sick and tired of working in the corporate world."
Because he is a one-man operation who buys new instruments in bulk and has low overhead costs, Cucinotti is able to offer prices so low his customers often admit they expected to pay more. But when Cucinotti makes a deal he puts all his cards on the table for his customers to see. It's a trick of the trade that's rarely dealt with in the competitive world, but it's what sets Cucinotti apart from most large instrument dealers in the area.
Cucinotti operates on the principle that if his customers feel they got a good deal and were treated well, they will come back and tell their friends about the place. And it seems Cucinotti's philosophy has paid off. About 70 percent of his customers refer their friends or come back for upgrades or to sell them on consignment. The rest of his customers largely come in after he has been recommended to them, Cucinotti said.
"I can't compare with stores downtown. The only thing I can hope for is word of mouth. My main thing is that I'll beat anyone else's price," Cucinotti said.
Music has been important to Cucinotti since he was a child. Growing up in Boston, Cucinotti played the saxophone, clarinet, and flute.
Now that he spends most of his time buying, selling, trading and repairing instruments, Cucinotti is glad he left his job in the corporate sector to own and operate his own shop. And while he sometimes misses playing gigs, he likes the flexible but more stable hours of running a business in the town he's lived in for 20 years.
"When I came into this business, I decided to give people a really good deal hoping they'd come back. I think it's worked," said Cucinotti.
