Another laid back family business like Reid's, and it's a true local classic! Great selection for such a small store!

Oldest music store in Newfoundland. It carries a wide range of stringed instruments, accordions and sheet music as well as instructional books. It's a good source of local folk instruments. It also sells CDs and some vinyl. Good place to get your musical spoons. read more

O'Brien's Music - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador

Great staff, I took my special needs uncle there earlier to take a look at his guitar and recommend some strings and they were nothing but helpful and extremely kind. They inspected his guitar and told me what I needed to do to fix it on my own for him, as my uncle couldn't afford to have it professionally fixed. They didn't try to take advantage of him and upsell him anything he didn't need and they treated him with nothing but respect. Excellent people, they've got my business for life. read more

Excellent, knowledgeable, top flight staff here at this shop. Good selection of traditional instruments and supplies on offer.

Gentlemen: I would like to offer my sincere, and most humble apology for my earlier remarks. I just listened to that same show again, this time it was done perfectly, everything was perfectly in sync and totally proper. If what I just saw a remake, it was excellent there were some differences between what I just saw, and what I honestly remember seeing before. This time. I played along with you, and everything was totally proper Once again, Larry Dave and Ted my highest respects for your talents and musicianship. I do love your show, and I hope it continues fr a very long time. Respectfully Charlie Fullerton read more

It is always a joy to be in St. John's and visit O'Brien's music. They have a wonderful selection of reasonably-priced, high-quality musical instruments (I've purchased a guitar and bodhran from them), and excellent service to match. Their support of Newfoundland musicians is legendary, as are their recommendations of those artists' recordings and performances. We're so happy to know that you're back in business! read more
