The Music Store with a Mission
We are the Old Town School of Folk Music's friendly neighborhood full-service music store. We specialize in instruments and educational materials from all over the world, for students of all levels. Whether you are a beginner, or a regularly performing professional, we are committed to helping you find the tools you need to progress.
Our knowledgeable staff can help you search our incredible selection of guitars, banjos, mandolins, violins, ukuleles and other traditional stringed instruments. Additionally, we can help you navigate the world of unique instruments like ouds, charangos, djembes and darbukas, sitars, vihuelas and other unusual items. We strive to stock the hard to find cds, and a wide range of instructional books and dvds that can help you understand and learn to play. We also offer many services like instrument rental and repair to help you get up and running or back in the swing of things. Stop by the store any time to talk to us in person about what you do and what you want to do musically. But be sure to set aside enough time to sit and play some great instruments and chat about the newest gear. We always look forward to helping you find the perfect instrument for you.
As always, 100% of the proceeds from the store help support the mission and programs of the Old Town School of Folk Music. See you soon, and thank you for your continued support.
