Frank ... I'll alert Stewart Hendrickson @ this thread. He's in Seattle and is a very fine folk musician. I'm sure he'll post something of help soon! CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson

Well, here I am. If you mean Washington State somewhere near Seattle you have to visit Dusty Strings. They're in the Fremont neighborhood just north of downtown. They have a complete selection of acoustic instruments, very helpful and knowledgeable sales people, also CDs and music - a place not to miss. You might also try The Trading Musician for used instruments and electronic gear.

Cheers, S. in Seattle

The House of Musical Traditions (http://www.hmtrad.com/) is in Takoma Park, next to Washington, DC, an easy ride on the Red LIne Metro to Takoma, and then a short (less-than-10-minute walk) from the Metro.

Title of thread altered to make it clear which Washington was meant.
