Re: Help finding Mando Store in Midwest with selection
It's the wrong direction, and probably around a 4-4.5 hour drive, but the Homestead Pickin' Parlor in Richfield (Minneapolis), Minnesota generally has an varied assortment of A and F models that range from good to the occasionally extremely nice. I bought my Flatiron and my Kentucky from them, also a banjo for my son. I don't know if they are still doing setups, you would have to call them. Their website is a bit behind, but they do have a couple of nice pictures on Facebook of the mandolins on the wall. They stock several different brands, plus the occasional trade-in or commission sale. The people who work their are very knowledgeable and friendly.
