While waiting for the house to open, I browsed the instruments throughout the store and had great fun. \n\nIn the front of the store, there was a square grand piano. I later learned from one of the sales staff that this type of piano was not made after the late 1800s so this was a museum piece. The story of why they were made square was quite interesting.\n\nThere's another room in the building that has a large number of pianos. Another had violins while yet another had guitars. I had some fun plucking the strings on a banjo to see what sounds I could make. I know why I never became an entertainer!\n\nThis store has a lot of music related items. In the back, get your guitar picks, your guitar strings, and any sheet music you need.\n\nThe performance area is a 100 seat venue. It's quite nice with comfortable chairs. Sight lines from anywhere are great. There are many shows going on here."^^ . "1"^^ .
