Acoustic Corner

Information may not be reliable

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, basses, bouzoukis, banjos, violins, lap dulcimers, and other instruments popular in Celtic, Old-Time, Bluegrass, Jazz, and other acoustic music styles. Most of our instruments are hand-made or manufactured by hand in small factories. We also carry a full array of accessories, books, recordings, and instructional materials.
This website is your opportunity to get to know us and the shop, and learn a bit about what we do and what we offer. This is not an e-commerce site. We strongly believe that each instrument is unique, and we encourage our customers to come visit us and experience the instruments first-hand. A limited amount of mail-order is available, however, if a trip to the Southern Appalachians just isn't in your plans.
For general information about Acoustic Corner, us or call 828-669-5162. Our hours are 10 to 7, Monday through Friday, and 10 to 5 on Saturdays. For more specific questions about our inventory, call or our showroom.

Starting Monday, November 22, we're having a 10% sale on all instruments . . . . from $200 banjos to $2000 guitars . . . no exceptions. We're also having a 20% sale on all bows (violin, cello, etc.) over $100. These prices will remain in effect till Christmas Day or until stock runs out, whichever comes first.

Prices will be going up in the New Year, so this is a great time, THE time, to get that instrument you've been courting all fall.

EXTRA HOLIDAY HOURS
We will be open on Sundays from 1 to 4, from Thanksgiving through the end of December.

Thanks to David Zoll, we're finally creeping into the 21st century and have joined Facebook. Check it out!

INTERNET PRICE MATCHING
As a rule, we do not attempt to match discounted internet prices. Often, instruments advertised on the internet at discounted prices are not even available; the advertised price is simply a marketing strategy. Please, before you ask us to price match, check with the internet discounter to see if they actually have the instrument in stock (and check out our 'Philosophy' link off our 'Inventory' page if you want to know more about brick-and-mortar music shops vs internet discounters).

Black Mountain is located 17 miles east of Asheville on I-40. Acoustic Corner is located in the central business district, but slightly off the beaten path.
From I-40, take Exit 64 and head north, on Hwy 9, into downtown Black Mountain. Cross the railroad tracks, and go through the next two lights, putting you on Montreat Road, after an odd little jog at that second light. Turn left almost immediately into a parking lot, just past White Horse Black Mountain; Acoustic Corner is at the back of this lot, on the left.
