Dave Boyd Music serves the Finger Lakes region from its downtown Penn Yan storefront, offering comprehensive instrument repair services alongside retail sales. Owner Dave Boyd brings his extensive musical background as a working performer to his repair work, understanding firsthand what musicians need from their instruments. The shop handles guitar setup, fretwork, and general guitar repair for both acoustic and electric instruments, with the attention to detail that comes from decades of playing experience.

Beyond repair services, the store has become a community hub for local musicians. The weekly Wednesday evening open mic draws players from across the region, creating a space where the guitar tech behind the counter is also the performer on stage. This dual perspective informs every setup and adjustment that leaves the shop. Dave Boyd Music stocks instruments and accessories for players at all levels, but it’s the hands-on luthier work and personalized service that keeps musicians returning. The shop reflects Penn Yan’s close-knit musical community, where quality instrument repair meets genuine player expertise.
