39
years ago we were on a dirt road in farm country. Today, it's
a major intersection in suburbia. Many things have changed in that time,
however, we haven't. Same owners, same location, and same philosophy -
"DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME".
Here is what you
will find if you visit us: Cases
- Hardshell, Softshell, and Carrying Bags for most instruments. Repairs - We have on the premises one of the most comprehensive facilities on the East Coast. Over 30 machines comprising a complete woodworking shop and an adjoining machine shop. Most importantly, we have skilled people with experience and knowledge to do the work. We are also a warranty repair center for Martin, Gallagher, Goldtone, Oscar Schmidt, Taylor Larrivee, Lowden, and others. Accessories and Parts - Entirely too much to list here. However, we have all the common strings, straps, picks, tuners, etc. Most important, we have the uncommon - Buck Adjustable Hammered Dulcimer Stands, fine quality, handmade, leather straps, all the sizes and types of banjo heads, hundreds of skin drum heads, all the materials to build an acoustic guitar and other instruments, hundreds of M.O.P. inlays, transducers, pickups, and acoustic amps. Instruction - Skilled and experienced teachers for banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and violin. Bluegrass, Blues, Folk, Irish, Classical, Jazz, composition, and theory. Recordings and Videos - Instructional CDs, Tapes, Videos, and complete offerings of Funkyseagull Computer CD-ROMs and Homespun videos. Books

Instruments - We usually have
a selection of used and vintage instruments in excellent condition and
repair. Our prices are fair, and we do not "over state"
condition or tone. Call for current offerings. Mail
Order - We ship every day from
our facility, mainly by UPS. Even though we don't have a store catalog,
we can usually handle all the questions, descriptions, and procedures
by phone to the satisfaction of our customers. We just shipped our twenty
thousandth mail order this year! We package extremely well. Our
Strong Points - Harps, Hammered
and Plucked Dulcimers, Bodhrans, Guitars,
Banjos, Handmade Leather Straps,

store veteran). Weak Points - Closed Sundays, Electric Guitars, Keyboards, Band Instruments, Electric Effects, Lighting, Set Drums, Pianos, Organs, High Tech Equipment, and being the very cheapest store in the USA to find a Fender flat pick.
