Music Folk has served the St. Louis acoustic music community since 1973, building a reputation as the go-to destination for folk and old-time instrument repair and restoration. This family-owned shop in Webster Groves combines decades of lutherie experience with a deep understanding of traditional acoustic instruments, from vintage banjos and mandolins to Martin and Guild guitars.

Their skilled guitar techs handle everything from basic setups and fretwork to complete restorations of historical instruments. The repair shop sees a steady stream of traveling musicians, collectors, and local players who trust Music Folk’s expertise with delicate repairs on dulcimers, resophonic guitars, ukuleles, and other specialty instruments. Beyond fretted instruments, the shop provides orchestra and school band instrument support, making it a comprehensive resource for the area’s music students and educators.

As an authorized dealer for premium brands like Martin, National Resophonic, and Eastman, Music Folk’s luthiers work with quality instruments daily, bringing that same attention to detail to every repair. The shop also offers instrument rentals, private lessons, and hosts intimate concerts, creating a hub where craftsmanship and community intersect.
