The sign on the door may read "We Sell Violins," but the neighborhood music store is equal parts shrine, sanctuary, and repository knwledge. Players are drawn there, not just by conspicous consumption, but by the need to get close to their passion in a way that no concert hall can match. And, yes
, occasionally they'll even purchase something. Hunting for a new instrument, a bow, a metronome? Need a bow rehaired, a chin rest replaced, a crack fixed? Visit one of these shops near you.
