We had an awesome experience here. Personal service and an invitation to come back to the jam sessions. The instruments are beautiful and of wide variety. It's worth following the signs off S Virginia and taking a peek.

This is the greatest place in the West for music! There aren't many brick and mortar establishments left and we are very fortunate to have this one. Music of all types, very friendly folks and a whole lot of fun. Pretty much whatever your musical taste, you can sit down and join in, learn and enjoy.
