“Fifteen minutes, and a perfect setup later, my fingers were running up and down the fret-board as though the guitar had always been an extension of my hands.”

From the reviews

Had an interest in a mandolin but the problem was that I lived in another State. Stan's son, Eric, played it for me over the phone and worked with me to have it arrive here for a testing.

What more could you ask for from a legendary acoustic instrument shop? This place has amazingly beautiful merchandise. So many guitars, banjos, mandolins, it makes for a great afternoon. It is also a grand adventure, taking the ferry to Staten Island and taking a taxi or bus to the store.
