    guitar that they fixed up for me :)
    Amy N.

    Literally the most helpful, knowledgeable guitar store ever. Don't even freaking THINKKKKK of going to Guitar Center I swear. They are SO KIND, CARING, ATTENTIVE, and helpful. I bought a used guitar off FB marketplace and took it in for it to get diagnosed, and they were SO AMAZING. Thanks to them I can finally play my guitar!! Literally will be supporting them for the rest of my life.

    I have been a long time fan and patron of Dusty Strings! They have the most wonderful display of guitars, and they have a substantial music library as well as supplies for your stringed instruments. You never know what music you will hear when you walk in. This is a true highlight and jewel of Fremont.

    Made it!!!!

    It's a pleasure to walk into a place where every guitar sounds good and staff is there to help rather than sell.

    A few years further into my guitar playing Dusty String is still the best store in the Seattle area for acoustic instruments.

    I've bought, I've rented, I've gotten repairs, and I've taken a class here. They're just great. We're lucky to have them in Seattle.

    quite a drive for me living just south of Olympia, but well worth it, next time will give myself…read moremore time to enjoy the area & this amazing music shop. found Crossroads had the Martin in stock I was looking for thru the Martin website, had tried a big box music store near Seattle but pretty much ignored so walking into Crossroads & immediately greeted & attended to by Sara, one of the owners of the "mom & pop" musical instrument shop was very pleasant. The Martin Jr in stock was hanging with the other guitars was ready to play & she set me up to try it out. They had a good selection Martin accessories including a good assortment of guitar strings including the Martin brand so I also bought a spare set of the Martin LifeSpan Phosphor Bronze Light strings. I was short on time so did not get a chance to fully take in the ambience & experience of Dan & Sara's music store, but reading up on Crossroads before hand on their website & stepping into their store, I felt the warm embrace of some good vibes, and appreciate their community involvement in local music events in this very charming waterfront town. I like contributing to local businesses so I not only walked away with a very nice Martin acoustic electric guitar, it felt rewarding to give back. I hope to explore more of the Washington peninsula & look forward taking more time visiting Port Townsend & Crossroads Music.

    Great selection! They had many more Ukes than your average Guitar Center and many higher end models…read moreincluding KK and Martin that can be hard to find even in Seattle and Bellevue. The owners were friendly and helpful and encouraged trying out different ideals. (I loved the wonderful KK baritone) and gave useful and helpful tips on restringing. My kind of music store - they are passionate about their stuff and it shows.
