Now we all have are best shops to go to and have some fantastic particular story as to why we want to continue to go there. I thought I would share mine and see what others have to say about different stores.
My favourite store is Folkaway Music in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.This store is this cute white house with the most knowledgable and friendly staff with great instruments.
When I first walked in I thought I was in over my head and they wouldn't let me touch a thing. They welcomed me in really well that made me feel at home. Their stock was outstanding with a tipett from the 20s a 30s soprano martin and a bunch of collings guitars and some vintage gibsons. They let you play whatever you liked.... within reason (the 10 grand gibson guitar was locked). This store carried brands or ukuleles I had not seen in Canada. Kiyawa, the magic fluke co firefly etc
I purchased my firefly there after a great conversation with the owner. I knew they sold the martin T1k so when it came time to purchasing it I went there (after going to three other stores an playing seven different T1Ks the one I loved was there).
This is the store I love and I highly recommend it if anyone is ever in that area. fantastic guitar selection too.
Sorry for the long rant if its TLDR, my question to you is what is your favourite shop or experience buying a ukulele?
