We've been Portland's source for nicer banjos and mandolins for
almost three decades. We're still actively buying and selling the
vintage models, and offer expert appraisal and repair services as
well. New Gibson and Deering bluegrass banjos are featured, along
with old-timey banjos from respected Michigan builder, Bart Reiter.
If you're looking for the "bluegrass chop" of a fine
F style mandolin, or the sweet sustain of a teens Gibson A, more
than likely we've got an instrument that fits the "Bill."
Great new mandolins from some of the best builders are offered,
including Collings, Flatiron, Gibson, Mid-Missouri, and Weber.

| The ukulele holds a special place here at the store,
as we've all been unabashed fans of the uke long before "Jumpin
Jim" hit the scene.You'll find nice older ukes here at Pioneer,
along with fine handmades. And we don't poke fun of the little fellas
either, we usually reserve that for our banjo playin' friends. Most
of 'em know we're only kidding. . . . |
