From the reviews
Purchased a solid sterling silver flute from Anne and spent some time exploring the store. Everything was wonderfully curated, with interesting, unique, and rare items from floor to ceiling. One especially cool detail was noticing the grand pianos throughout the shop, all in various stages of repair by Anne’s husband.
Fantastic place!! The owners are extremely nice people and very knowledgeable with everything in the shop. Another great thing about the History Room is the highly acclaimed James Gibson. He is a master at everything that is electronics. He had serviced a few of my vintage amplifiers and musical equipment.
Ann is very knowledgeable and a great person to talk with. Her prices are very fair and I could spend hours perusing her shop and not see everything. I'll be back frequently.
This is an amazing store with a large and eclectic selection. The shop is tidy and organized by categories and themes. The owners are knowledgeable about their merchandise and can point you straight to any item you are looking for.
Selling or trading gear at The History Room Antique & Piano Center
The History Room Antique & Piano Center comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at The History Room Antique & Piano Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at The History Room Antique & Piano Center. 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 on hand for exactly this reason.
