From the reviews

I was very happy to see the new music store in Montpelier as I really missed Guitar Sam's. As a luthier I frequently need to pick up strings etc. so I was excited to see Naive Melody Instrument Exchange open. They are much more than a great music store.

★★★★★ — Mark, Feb 2025

Fantastic store, such knowledgeable staff, and an array of all sorts of instruments, some truly weird! What more could you ask for! We're so lucky to have this shop in town.

★★★★★ — Jacob, Jan 2026

A real musicians shop. All kinds of instruments, consignment prices, friendly staff, individual strings, and amps for all your needs. Shop here, let's keep this place open. It's convenient to have the accessories right here rather than wait for Amazon deliveries.

★★★★★ — Rg, May 2025

A real gem if you’re in the area. Great staff. Incredible inventory at great prices, including things like strings and picks! If I hadn’t flown I might have bought half the store.
