ROSCOE ARBOGAST IS THE BEST! I purchased my Baldwin SF-10 7-foot grand piano from him in 2008 (he had just rebuilt it), and he has maintained and tuned it ever since. Roscoe doesTHE best tunings, all done by ear (and I am very picky). I have referred many professional musician friends to him, and they all LOVE him too. Seriously, please do not waste your time or money having anyone else tune your piano.
Roscoe did a great job moving our upright piano. I highly recommend their services.

Just made a purchase. The guitar that i wanted was special ordered for me at the best price. It arrived as promised in perfect condition. I have bought guitars here numerous times for gifts as well as a banjo and electric guitar for myself. I have always had the best, personal attention. I come from 480 miles away to shop here for the best selection and prices. It is worth the drive, you will be amazed at the selection. It is well worth the trip for me.
The shear volume of products is OVERWHELMING. It’s paradise for anyone that tinkers!!!!!
Way more than a music store. Worth a few hours to look around. Everything from handtools to drumsets in a catch-all format. Lots of great finds if you’re willing to search.
Amazing number of stringed instruments and cases.
Think guitar store, antique shop and flea market rolled into one.
Difficult to navigate the store, so much stuff
I think the prices are kinda high for music gear. (That may be a personal opinion)
Inventory wise, it’s the kind of junky old music/gear/kitsch store that dreams are made of. Problem is, the guy has literally zero clue how to rationally price his stuff and is just so grossly non-competative to current market prices that it’s pointless to even bother asking. You can be angered at how the internet changed/obsoleted this type of retail, but you either adapt, or you go out of business (and indeed, a “Going Out of Business” sign has now appeared in the front window- predictible. You chose this path by pricing yourself out of relevance)
Nice guy but refused to accept the internet, so he’s basically running a museum more than a store to buy things. He reminds me of a 1980s baseball card who just refuses to accept the existence of eBay.
