Kontinuous Jams Music’s first Market Street location was 1,000 square feet.

Now, the recording studio alone is more than double that size.

Kontinuous Jams opened in its new location, 6981 Market St., about six weeks ago. The new storefront is about one plaza south of the old location and is the former home of Natural Health Foods & Barbell Center.

The biggest difference is the size — 7,000 square feet — and a new retail shop, said owner Michael J. Moritz Jr.

“For years, we did design and consultation for theaters, arenas and government centers to put in audio/visual and multimedia equipment. We order in so much volume on commercial projects that we can offer retail here at internet-low prices,” he said.

The retail area also displays pianos, including Moritz’s own line of grand pianos that are integrated with Apple computer products, such as the iPad.

Moritz, 29, said the best word to describe Kontinuous Jams is “comprehensive.”

“Every side of the business is handled here,” he said.

Kontinuous Jams offers a recording studio, music lessons, instruments sales, video production, commercial advertising and marketing and sound stage equipment.

Moritz founded the business in 1997 while a student at Cardinal Mooney High School and as it has grown, all three commercial locations have been on Market Street in Boardman.
