Musical Instruments

Homestead carries a wide variety of musical instruments for the acoustic musician, and can order many others.  Feel free to call the store with questions at 612-861-3308 .  We buy old instruments, so if you're cleaning out grandma's attic and don't know what that stringy thing is, bring it in.

In addition to several makes of guitars, resonator guitars, banjos and mandolins, we are authorized dealers for Oscar Schmidt autoharps, Dusty Strings hammered dulcimers, Deering banjos, Weber mandolin family instruments (mandolins, mandolas, octave mandolins), and many others.  If we don't have it in stock, we may be able to get it, so please ask.

We stock instruments for all levels of ability, so if you're looking for a first guitar or other instrument, please come in for some low-pressure advice.

If you're looking for an unusual instrument -- bones or a hurdy-gurdy, perhaps -- give us a call.

If you have an instrument to sell, we may be interested in either buying it from you, or we can sell it on consignment for you.  Bring it in to the store so we can take a look with you.

We can also help you with instrument repairs or adjustment (known as "set-up" in the instrument biz).

Here is a list, likely not complete, of the kinds of instruments we generally have in stock.

    Autoharps
    Banjos
    Didgeridoos
    Dulcimers
       Appalachian
       Hammered
    Fiddles
    Guitars
    Harmonicas
    Latin Instruments

    Pennywhistles
