For more than 50 years The Folk Music Center Store and Museum has been serving the needs of music lovers in Claremont, outside of Los Angeles, CA.

We carry an extremely wide variety of instruments in the folk, blues and world music styles. Everything from Guitars and Banjos, to Dulcimers, Mandolins, Violins, Cellos, Sitars, Harmonicas and much more.

Our repair shop has been in operation since the beginning and can repair any instrument you have.

We offer private lessons and group classes in Guitar (all levels and styles), Ukulele, Slide Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Harmonica and Harp.

Check out our regular list of events, concerts and classes.  And don’t forget that the last Sunday of every month is Open Mike Night.  Come in and show us what you’ve got.

Teachers and educators should give us a call to find out about bringing your students into our museum to experience traditional instruments from around the world.
