Used Folk Instruments

As you venture downstairs into our acoustic department, you will immediately notice an abundance of folk instruments. Yes, it’s true—we don’t just stock guitars! We also provide a safe habitat for all fretted instruments. Be it a ukulele, mandolin, banjo, lap steel, or any petite stringed oddity (with frets!), you can probably find it here. Scores of these instruments line our walls, banisters, support columns, and basically any spare square footage we can fill with a tiny instrument. We also stock uncommon varieties of these instruments, such as banjo basses, electric solid body mandolins, resonator ukuleles, and anything else we think you might like. Aside from our vast inventory of new folk instruments, we also have a plethora of used folk instruments to choose from.
