When I was moving out of town and needed to get ride of my old instruments these were the guys that took care of me. It seems the music store scene has took a turn trying to find a good store that sells used instruments is getting harder, but these guys know their stuff. I highly recommend them for your music needs in the area.

I stopped here on my way to a weekend camping trip at Babcock State Park from Cincinnati. I had called multiple music shops in town as I was looking for nice inexpensive guitar to take camping. I spoke with Chris over the phone and he said he thought they had just what I was looking for. When I arrived Vince was behind the counter and knew the exact guitar I had come for.
It was a used Ventura acoustic in near mint condition. Not a name I had heard of but a solid guitar. Vince was very helpful and knowledgeable. Not only with the instruments but also with the history of WV's state parks. These guys know what they are doing and are very passionate about making their customers happy. I would highly recommend buying and instrument from them. If they don't have it they can get it and they will guide you through the whole process. I'll be back again when I pass through!
