Front Counter -- Looking for a guitar pick, strings, or other instrument accessories? You need go no further than just inside our front door. Here you'll also find posters and flyers about folk music happenings in Takoma Park and the Washington, DC metro area.

Some places have a Hall of Fame, or even a Wall of Fame, but here we have a Wall O' Banjos, just like we did at our old store. Banjos from Deering, Gibson, and others hang cheek-to-jowl with mandolins, octave mandolins, and bouzoukis.
