About The Folk Shop
The Folk Shop is a wonderful spot to discover unique instruments and experience the community's passion for music. This is a far-from-your-average music store, offering an ever-changing selection of vintage and unusual guitars, banjos, and ukuleles, including upscale and custom-made models. The staff's vast knowledge and friendly service make the shopping experience even more enjoyable. One room is dedicated entirely to banjos, another to ukuleles, and a third area showcases guitars, mandolins, and even the occasional upright bass. Whether you're a seasoned musician or a newcomer to the folk scene, the shop is welcoming and accommodating. Customers praise the store for being a community-run establishment that sets it apart from big-chain stores, offering personalized attention and making everyone feel part of a shared love of music.
Came because I was wanting to pick up the Banjo. Found a shop devoted to music and soul. Great folks in there, willing and knowledgeable, to spend the time to get you set up with your new hobby (or just talk about what they love!). Also a great place to just learn about the music scene in town and browse cool stuff.
A TUCSON TREASURE
This is a magic charming -little shop full of all types of wonderful musical instruments. A Must visit… owners are helpful and very friendly. This is a locally owned business not part of an impersonal big chain like most everything else is now so it’s wonderful to have a gem of a store like this in Tucson. Hopefully part of the Tucson scene for many years to come ♥
What a wonderful shop for folk instruments. The staff is friendly, the inventory is unique, and the prices are great. I look forward to many visits, in search of inspiration, rare finds, and instruments that will bring me joy . . . and hopefully other people as well. The Folk Shop is a treasure!
