I just like saying "YABOBO". This is a great little music shop tucked away in Downtown Nevada City…read more I love to play all the instruments along with the catchy tunes the guy plays in the store. Lots of bongo drums! Big ones small ones cheap ones expensive ones. I asked the guy at the counter if the drum-playing ever got on his nerves and he said, "only at Christmas". Yobobo also has an enormous array of fun, simple, wood instruments that anyone can play. They also offer unique and hard to find instruments like a Donkey Call which I purchased. You hear it in Crazy Train and a lot of Cake songs. Yaaah! Truly a great store with very reasonable prices.

November 7, 2025…read more OWNER WONDER DOCENT 230 BROAD NEVADA CITY CALIFORNIA 95959 Dear Sir or Miss Hello to you! This will be review number, Maestro or Maestra a few notes on the piano if you please (I hear the notes playing) number one, yut, uno, of your art store! We came in October 27, 2025! There were two of us! We came in thinking it may be some kind of museum (had the word docent), found it was an art supply store! There are post cards of Nevada City, blank books so maybe sketch books, variety of chalk, variety of different art supplies! Both of us purchased items! One person purchased one of the blank books and a red crayola pen, the other person purchased a green crayola pen! These pens looks as if the person can either write with them or these pens looks as if the person can paint with them! Think her name was Elizabeth that helped us! She comments, "Each person purchased the pen that matches the color of their undershirt!" We each had two layers on, hence the undershirt, one had green, one had red! Thank you for such a great store! This will indeed be such a great place if the person is an author (green undershirt person) or if the person is an artist (red undershirt person)! Seeing I am of FIRST TO REVIEW, I hoping others will find your great art supply store! Best of luck to your new store, best of luck to your employees, best of luck to your volunteers!
