  Arthur's is a small local music shop that has been around since my grandma was playing guitar and buying Kay instruments from them. Though I'm not sure how much it's changed since then, what I can say is it's always reasonably well stocked with a rotating selection of instruments, and most importantly helpful staff that doesn't ignore you or pester you constantly. Everytime I come in they gladly let me play guitars and basses off the walls that are on display, even the pricier ones.

  I'm 68 years old...when I was 12, I took accordion lessons at this music store. The young man who taught me was Joey Wetzel and I will always remember this experience. My dad would wait for me and just thought the world of this young fellow. I remember that everyone I dealt with was very nice. Wonderful memories. Glad to see it's still there. Oh, I was Susan Bills back then, probably around 1961.

  Me and my boyfriend stopped in because we we're passing through and stayed @ a hotel nearby. This music store is THE BEST music store I've EVER been to! They have an extensive selection for guitars, banjos, mandolins, electric, acoustic ect! They have everything from native American flutes to steel drums to accordions & even rare and exotic pieces! VERY IMPRESSIVE! the staff was EXTREMELY friendly & knowledgeable, they let us play with the instruments, gave us sound advice & even recommended a great place to eat lunch. We ended up buying a fabulous acoustic guitar and a wooden flute! Which both sound so beautiful! we are very happy with our purchases! And the pricing was just right! Thanks guys soooo much! We had a wonderful time! The people who work here make you feel like friends that you could easily just pull up a stool and crack a beer with! We definitely will be back every time we roll through! Very chill, with great laughs hidden in every corner of the store! This place is a GEM! If you are a musician/music lover DO NOT PASS THIS STORE UP! xoxo!

  I bought my first professional guitar, an Olympic White Fender Jazzmaster, at Arthur’s in 1961 when I was a junior in high school. For the next two years, until I went away to college, I played virtually every weekend in a band that was booked by disc jockeys from WIBC radio. The group called “The Blue Angels” played over a hundred shows at high schools throughout the state. It was the most exciting time any teenager could have asked for and I loved every minute. Arthur’s was and still is the only place I go for anything musical.
