I stopped in today with my Gloss Blue Talman for new string. The owners were there, the second I walked in and they both greeted with smiles and knowledge.

I’ve purchased 3 guitars from this shop, and will continue to make JW my 1st stop for music needs. Avery is knowledgeable and explains everything I need to know about what I’m purchasing. Couldn’t be more grateful for JW for helping me bring my love for music to life.
Really enjoy coming here. I have had my clarinet reconditioned here along with my husband's trumpet, which our daughter now plays. Our son just picked up a drum kit and is really excited to learn. The staff is welcoming and extremely knowledgeable!
Stopped in the Carlisle store today. Great selection of music. The owner was friendly and helpful in pointing me to what I needed and answered some questions I had on getting music for multiple instruments that would work together. Full service shop. Sales, repairs, and rentals.
Lessons at JW Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at JW Music. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
