Our Acoustic and Folk area has gotten an upgrade! We have a wonderful section of Washburn Mandolins and Banjos for you to enjoy. Washburn has been a household name in the folk circles since shortly after the civil war.
Never played a mandolin? Guitar players, just think of the mandolin as guitar upside-down. You’ll find many of the common open chord forms will work, though flipped, with the B and high E string notes removed. Your fluency in reading chord charts will transition you to banjo or ukulele as well. Our teachers are happy to help with the transition, many of which are multi-instrumentalists. We also have printed instruction with added online supports, which include links to how-to videos and audio clips of exercises.
The Gibson Songwriter currently on our wall is a prime example of musical and aesthetic perfection. Those that can’t hear a difference between instruments will certainly do so with the Songwriter – it has a resonant, melodious tone. Absolutely gorgeous, to boot! This instrument is currently a consignment piece, and its the only one in the store. If you’re looking for a pristine American-made guitar, look no further!
Stop by the store to see these instruments, all of which are set up by John and Phil, two of the best techs around.
