| - A little better than your standard indie music store. Good selection of guitar amps, only a few bass amps, and need-to-have brands like Gibson are conspicuously missing from the store.
They have a decent selection of cables, and their big focus seems to be acoustic instruments. Everything from cheap to very high-end acoustic guitars, banjos, ukuleles, resonators, and even some oddballs like autoharps, dulcimers and banjoleles.
The employees are your standard old hippies like every music store that isn't Guitar Center. Generally pretty friendly, and will let you try out anything if you ask. They had no problem letting my guitarist demo a $2,000 Orange amp, and didn't hawkeye us the whole time like you get at some places, which can be a huge turnoff.
Their selection of drum gear is a standout. Plenty of parts, and lots of more obscure brands like Attack, Silverfox and Cannon that make some good accessories. Their array of drumheads is equally good, they carry the more obscure lines from Aquarian, especially, including every size and type of marching/symphonic heads they make.
Overall, great store, it's homey in a small-town way that makes me feel like i'm back in rural southern Ohio, which is about the only thing I miss from there.
