2339.0. "U.S. visit/MUSIC stores" by UTROP1::VDBOS () Wed May 16 1990 07:39

    Hi guys!
    
    
    I will visit the US and Canada in September. My trip will start in New York
    and then I'll go to Washington, Toronto, Montreal and via Boston
    back to New York/Amsterdam.
    
    Since I am shure I'll miss my gear it is nice to visit some U.S
    Music stores.
    
    Any idea's??????????
    
    Thanks for your response
    
    Pete

2339.5	48th Street	WACHU2::HERTZBERG	I knew that	`Wed May 16 1990 14:19`	4
	In New York, the main music store area is on 48th street, approximately in the vicinity of 6th avenue or Avenue of the Americas. You don't need no store names... just wander around there for a few minutes and you'll find what you're looking for.
2339.6		GLOWS::COCCOLI	is everybody happy?	`Wed May 16 1990 22:42`	17
	To be more exact, the NYC music stores are on 48th St, between Sixth and Seventh avenues. Closer to Seventh. They are: Manny's (check out the pictures on the left wall) Sam Ash (3 different stores: Kybd,PA,and Commercial) Alex Music We Buy Guitar (used guitars..anything imaginable) Several other guitar stores.

2339.7	music store reply	SVCRUS::CRANE		`Sun May 27 1990 16:48`	22
	Somewhere between your stops of New York and Boston it would be in your best interest to stop over in New Haven, Connecticut. There is a very professional store named Brian Guitars you should check uot if you get the chance. Tel. # is 203-387-4492. -elf
2339.8	Chuck Levin's in DC	DYO780::SCHAFER	Brad - boycott hell.	`Tue May 29 1990 14:48`	27
	A very excellent music store in the Washington DC area is Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center on Viers Mill Road in Wheaton. I don't remember explicity directions (it's been almost 8 years since I lived there), but it seems to me that you do something similar to the following: o get on the north side of town using the beltway o get off at rt 46 (? - here's where I'm not clear); go north toward Wheaton and Univ. of Maryland o get in left hand lane and stay there until you can bear off to the left on Viers Mill Rd (I'd give you landmarks but they're likely gone). I think it's around 5 or 6 blocks. When you pass a big church complex on your left, you'll have about 2 or 3 blocks left to go. o bear left on Viers Mill; go a block and a half - the store is on the right hand side of the road. There's minimal parking in front, and a lot behind the store; the driveway is just beyond the store ... look for a few Mercedes automobiles sitting off to the right and turn just after them. Number is 301-946-8808. Great place to snoop around. +b
