Located in the mountains of Western North Carolina in historic Black Mountain, Acoustic Corner is a different kind of musical instrument shop. In these days of large corporate chain-stores and impersonal internet sales, Acoustic Corner offers an array of unique acoustic instruments in a hands-on, relaxed, helpful atmosphere. We feature guitars, mandolins, bouzoukis, banjos, violins, lap dulcimers, and other instruments popular in Celtic, Old-Time, Bluegrass, and other folk genres. Most of our instruments are hand-made or manufactured by hand in small factories. We also carry a full array of accessories, books, and instructional materials.

Folkladen
The FolkLaden was established in 1979 in Munich by Rüdiger and Heidi Helbig. Their love of acoustic music and vintage instruments has turned the FolkLaden into Germany's most active center for fine old Martins, Gibsons, Epiphones, Guilds, Kentuckys, Deerings, Vegas and many others.
Besides our many lines of new instruments, from e-guitars to brass and accessories, we are constantly scouring the US for the kind of good used
instruments sought after by European players. Check out these pages for some idea of what we have but make sure you call to get up-to-date availability info because things move fast. We welcome you to our web site and hope to see you in Munich soon.
