Music & Instrument Shops in New England Supportive of Folk Music

Not all music shops are created equal. Some cater to school bands, some to rock/punk/metal, some to classical musicians. If you are a folk musician in need of an acoustic instrument, instrument repair, new strings, CDs or cassettes, or this month’s issue of your favorite folk mag, here’s where to go. If you're looking for something specific, phone first, to make sure the shop carries your item.
All shops are listed roughly geographically, north to south within each state, and east to west in Massachusetts.
