Bought tons of sheet music there in the mid-Eighties and I still have 'em all, and I always loved to eyeball the new instruments on display and make my "wish lists" back when I lived in Denver.

Awesome. You all saved me. My son came home from school today needing a string replaced on his violin saying his teacher fixed a previous one and said he had to fix it himself.. We had no clue what we needed much less how to put the string on. The guys working were amazing. Picked out the string we needed and Chris put it on for us.. Very great experience. Also we literally got there like 3 minutes before closing.. We will be back for sure..
