Here in St Petersburg there is the Bluegrass Shop. Go in a stranger, leave as a friend. The proprietor, Elson Smith, treats all like they are important to him. The professional and the novice alike are welcome to take any istrument for a test ride. No over bearing sales pitches. Love the place! There are several music stores within driving distance of me but when I get ready to plunk down more money for an instrument I don't need, The Bluegrass Shop is where I'll do it!!!
