Musica store

I enjoy a music store that sells folk instruments. The owner is guitar-playing, native New Yorker that moved down to NOLA years ago. The place is small but loaded with stuff. I bought a pair of teak percussion spoons, a couple small drum sticks, and a cool tambourine covered with a skin. Can't wait to play them...while I'm not driving

Remember this store still; kindly people and interesting instruments.And nowhere else do I know where you can get a groowah.

Rob the owner is fun to talk to and helpful. We chatted about busking and I was introduced to the instrument that Rob plays which I have never heard before. I was looking for a mic to amplify the sound of my space drum (handpan/hang drum) and a contact mic was suggested and we tried it out to see how it sounded and even compared two options to see if the one that cost more was really better. I was told even though there were only two that they stay in stock, hence I didn't have to decide to buy today. I also need an amp and there were a couple there but I was recommended to check out another local owned music shop to get recommendations on what would work best with my instrument. There is also vintage goods and clothing there and I ended up getting an oldschool Samsonite suitcase even though I went there for music items. It was a lovely shopping experience and with there being no pressure to buy it makes me want to support this shop even more.

This store in the Bywater neighborhood is charming and the owner is super knowledgeable. He showed us how to play a bunch of cool and rare instruments. Put it on the agenda if you are a serious musician looking to add a new sound to the repertoire! There are also some cool vintage clothing items.

Really like this shop! Was passing by and the vintage clothes out front caught our eye, but the friendly owner and the amazing things inside kept us there for a while! I can't recall the name of the huge, cool red 'metal thing' that made relaxing harmonious bell sounds, but loved it, amazing art pieces on the walls, wide variety of instruments, crystals, and found a violin bow I needed at a great great price. Owner seems very knowledgeable and very helpful.
