Before this December, I had never touched a guitar, but always wished I could play one. Lucky me:…read moreMy very thoughtful husband gifted me one for Christmas this year! Hours of attempted tuning later, I still wasn't able to play a single chord accurately and I was quickly becoming discouraged. Today, we stopped into Old Towne Music to inquire about lessons and see if they'd tune my guitar. The place is small, with two or three tiny lesson rooms in the back. It's cluttered, but not unorganized. The mostly-brown decor could use some updating. I was worried that I'd feel snubbed because of my "starter guitar," but I didn't feel judged when I handed over my Silvertone to the employee behind the desk. He was friendly, and he quickly made my guitar sound the way it should, first by his own ear, then with a tuning pipe, then with an electric tuner. No charge. I picked up a lesson registration form, and prices seem pretty comparable to other places in my area. My attempts to take "lessons" on YouTube are not going so well... I am definitely considering hitting up Old Towne Music for some one-on-one direction with my strings.

Had a tough time reaching the strings and my instructor handed me one with a thinner, narrower neck and fret board and it made it so much easier. So, I came to Music Museum and told Matt my problem and he asked me about a price range i was looking at, then he took down 3 guitars immediately and said, try these. Perfect! Now, im still narrowing down which one i want. And I will be back for one very soon. I love these old mom and pop shops. And the personalized service you get. Ill be looking forward to doing business with them.

This lively spot offers a bar, two dining options, lawn games, a sandy beach area, and plenty of space to relax. Leashed and friendly pups are welcome to join you for a beer garden-style experience. Choose your setting: inside the bar with the garage doors rolled open and the breeze drifting through, gathered around outdoor firepits, or lounging on driftwood at the beach. However you spend it, it is a one-of-a-kind way to enjoy the day. The indoor space even has mister fans to stay cool. The welcoming staff add to the charm, and locals say the sunsets here are nothing short of spectacular. Afterward, take a stroll along the walking path at Riverview Beach Park. Fun fact: The state of Delaware actually controls the Delaware River in this area! Who knew? Dip your paw in the water and you are in Delaware!

The artist I saw tonight is smaller, so my friend and I elected to grab food. The food was unfortunately incredibly underwhelming. There was nothing inherently wrong with it, it was just blah.

Everything beyond the food was lovely and look forward to seeing another show here again!

I'm a professional guitar player who was visiting Philadelphia from the west coast and decided to check out local music stores. The store was clean but beyond appearances this place was terrible. All the guitars I tried were dirty and out of tune; I told an employee that the truss rod needed to be adjusted on one and he didn't know what that was (a music store employee should know what that means). I couldn't hear myself try the guitar because the sole employee was signing and playing at the top of his lungs. I then asked him about how the teacher employment worked at their store and not only could he not answer, but he couldn't give me anyone's email or phone number to contact with questions. Very rude in general. Ive been in hundreds of music stores and this was among the worst
