It first opened on Blake Street in 1756 under the ownership of Thomas Haxby, before changing hands and moving to various locations in the city centre.
The store has been in its current location in Lendal since 1985.
The Musicroom was part of the Hal Leonard Group, which confirmed the closure last month as part of plans to restructure its UK and Ireland business.
