This is a wonderful music location with an educated staff. I am a senior, senior citizen that most instructors would not give the time of day but came to Drum and Strum about a year and a half ago, ask about a guitar then asked about lessons. I have nothing but positive things to say about the store, the lessons and everybody in it!
They carry lots of primary, quality equipment for sale at a modest price as well as mid range priced string instruments. They can get higher end instruments too but not necessarily every instrument on the market. This is not a big box store (thank Heaven).
A friend of mine started taking lessons at the store after hearing about my experiences. One of my 10 grand kids started some lessons and enjoyed it with another looking into it now.

Thanks to Tim and Dean at Drum & Strum in Warrenton for giving new life to my grandmother’s 1936 Gibson. I never had the privilege of meeting my grandmother but this guitar helps me connect to her soul.
Dean performed major surgery on the guitar, over came several obstacles, and handed me back a guitar with beautiful sound, perfect intonation, and a pick up so that I can perform with it live. They reset the neck, reshaped the bridge, added new vintage-look tuner’s, mended cracks, and painstakingly stained and sanded certain areas to keep the finishes authentic. I could not be happier with the result nor could I give a higher recommendation to take vintage and new instruments to Drum & Strum for repairs and TLC.
Forever grateful…
