I came here to buy my first banjo but I ended up getting so much more out of it than that! The shop has such a welcoming atmosphere and Rylan truly went above and beyond answering all of my questions and more. His passion for his craft and helping customers is apparent. I learned a ton chatting with him and enjoyed that part the most about my experience.
I went in a couple months later for my free tuneup and had the same great experience, then just a few days later I accidentally left my banjo in my hot car and got some string buzzing, but I brought it back in and they kindly fixed it that same day no charge. They also made the process of selling my guitar a breeze.
