As General Manager of Quest
Musique, Sam Trachilis gets the biggest
thrill hooking up musicians with the right
equipment and service to help them live
out their musical dreams.
“I love it when a kid walks in and drools
over a guitar, and the look on their face
when you take it down and put it in their
hands,” he says. “Then they call their parents
to come and buy it for them. It’s great
to see parents support their kids like that.”
The support at Quest Musique goes
beyond the initial sale. Both locations
(the one on Meadowood and the other on
Portage) offer lessons and repairs, along
with coordinating recitals and clinics – the
most recent of which saw Rascal Flatts’
drummer, Jim Riley, walk through the
doors when the country act was in town
in March.
Trachilis’ own quest, so to speak, is to
become a leader in sales and service in
the music community. His commitment is
to place the highest value on his customers
through the excellence of work and
the integrity of his relationships with his
clientele.
“Music is a big part of people’s lives. And
we’re here to help people, whatever their
musical level.”

Quest Musique plans to play an even
bigger part in the musical community.
Trachilis would ideally like to branch out
across Canada with locations that offer
the traditional musical instrument sales
and support services, as well as a recording
studio, café and even a lounge where
local musicians can perform.
In the more immediate future, he plans to
expand the website (www.questmusique.
com) to include more events that connect
the musical community, ticket sales for
concerts, and an e-shopping component.
And to think all of this started by chance
when Trachilis was in a high school jazz
band and dropped his brass instrument on
the way home. He took it to a repair shop
and was amazed that someone made their
living surrounded by musical instruments.
Trachilis made the decision shortly thereafter
and told his friends that he was going
to earn his keep surrounded by music.
Thus he began working in the repair shop,
acquired all the skills he needed to run a
shop and eventually opened his first location
in St. Boniface.
“When you take the right instrument, the
right teacher and great service, and you
put all of those together - you get sweet
music!” enthuses the entrepreneur.
