Manny's Music
156 West 48th Street (between 6th & 7th Avenues)

Phone: (212) 819-0576

You can buy your Ukelele from the same store that Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton and Charlie Parker, oh yeah, and of course, Who's_pearljam? and a whole host of others used to shop.:D


Or like paco says,
30th street guitars is a great place, too and not really far from Manny's
236 west 30th street


If you want to go on a pilgrimage to great expensive guitars, and unusual instruments go to Staten Island to the Mandolin Brothers.
That's more of an afternoon though but you can sit down and play a 1935 Martin, or a 1908 Gibson mandolin, or maybe even Do Ho's old Ukelele!:)

Come on up! and bring your credit card and an empty stomach for all the great food!

I was in The Mandolin Brothers once with a friend of mine a few years ago. We had been playing in this goofy Fringe Festival play in Manhattan, and we had one part where him and I played a little duet Jazz version of the Oscar Meyer Weiner theme song.

Well, we were in this big room with all these historical guitars. I had a $40,000 old Martin,, he had like a $35,000 Gibson at the other side of the room. I don't know why, we just looked at each other and broke into the "I'd love to be an Oscar Meyer weiner song. All the other people are like,,, where the hell did THAT come from:eek:

the unseen

if ya make it to mannys,if nothing else,look at all the photos on the wall and get a t shirt....


sounds like you have a fun day of shopping ahead.

enjoy.




peace
