Does anyone know of a drivable shop with a great selection of high end mandolins, banjos and other acoustic instruments from the DFW / Wichita Falls area? My wife plays fiddle, and we have heard of a good violin/fiddle shop in Oklahoma, but they don’t seem to have anything else; and I have yet to find, after a lot of internet searching, a shop in our area for banjos, mandolins, and other bluegrass instruments. I am currently playing a Collings MF and a couple of Stelling banjos; all great instruments, and no complaints, but we’d like to make a weekend trip of really trying a lot of instruments for the whole family (boys are playing some guitar and bass too). Is there anything close, or are we looking at Missouri or Nashville being the closest places to find a great acoustic / bluegrass instrument shop -that is what I am finding on the internet? We will make a pilgrimage, if we need to, but Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas are big states with a lot of musicians - it seems like there has to be something we can do in a weekend, unless internet shops have just completely killed the brick and mortar stores.
