Bucks County Folk Music Shop 40 South Sand Road, New Britain, PA 18901

"Went in today to look at mandolins and violins! Had a lovely chat with the owner Jackie. Super nice, super helpful, amazing selection for bluegrass players! Only thing I didn't see was a double bass, but it's a smaller shop, so that's understandable."

"I drove an hour and a half to stop into Bucks County Folk Instruments. It was so worth it. Jackie was so kind and I ended up buying a beautiful Eastman dreadnought guitar with which I am very pleased. Aside from the purchase, this is the place to go to find a good instrument and meet wonderful people. I will be going back and bringing friends along! Thank you! David Hungerford"

"My 1st trip to the BCFMS - what a wonderful alternative to the average brick & mortar and typical big box store. Housed in an 1800's building, it has a sense of warmth as you are surrounded by guitars, banjos, fiddles, penny whistles - even bodrans. Anything and everything anyone interested in folk music would need - and then some. Had my guitar technical Q's answered easily by Kim, plus great advice for my guitar string purchase. Definitely recommend this resource, and if you are lucky, may even get to see the fox that sometimes hangs out in the back yard!"

"I was in the market for a mandolin, and obviously Guitar Center doesn't carry them, so I looked around for a Folk Music store. Turns out this is really the only one around, but that's fine because it's a great little shop. I walked in, and there's instruments everywhere. They have mandolins, guitars, banjos, and even stuff like dulcimers and some kind of harps, but I didn't really look into those. The shopkeeper was incredibly helpful. She seemed to know what she was talking about and gave me a good amount of advice on instrument maintenance when I asked her. If I ever decide to get a higher end folk instrument of any kind, I will most likely head back here"

"Bought a beautiful Eastman mandolin here the other day. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and patient! They let me try out lots of mandolins and spend time playing them, both when I visited them a month ago and the other day. Never felt pressured. Fair prices and outstanding customer service. I plan on coming here again if ever I need a set up, repair, or purchase. Highly recommend!!"
