We have been servicing the southeastern Ohio region from the same Athens location since 1971. We supply musical instruments, accessories, lessons, and repairs. We serve as a hub for local musicians, and as a ticket outlet for local venues such as Fur Peace Ranch and Stuart's Opera House. Our 100+ year old oak floors, plaster walls, and 17 foot ceiling are a step back in time.

Blue Eagle is an amazing shop. Don't let the size fool you, they have a sizable, amazing collection of guitars and other stringed instrument for sale, especially Left-Handed guitars. Drove a few hours to visit and pick up a new to me lefty guitar. Frank was very helpful, informative, answered all my questions, and shared a few anecdotes. Definitely worth a trip to visit, you never know what you'll find.

Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly. They'll always put you in touch with the right person to help answer your questions. I couldn't ask for more in a local music store. So grateful for Blue Eagle!

Definitely is my favorite shop in athens, owner is nice and very knowledgeable. They have about anything you'd need for guitar, bass and other instruments and has a cool selection of them too, as well as a few vinyl records for sale. If you're into music in general you'd enjoy coming here!

Although it's a small local business, there was a wide selection of products for all your jamming needs. The owner was welcoming and helpful in my purchase and it is definitely a business I would like to return to on my next vacation to Athens.

What a unique musical environment! Purchased a violin 2 years ago that was a perfect purchase. Went back few months ago to choose violin for my granddaughter. Once again, I struck gold. The owner is very laid back, and is a wealth of knowledge. He listens to your interests and budget.then guides you within those confines. It's always an experience!

I thought there was something wrong with the tuning machines on my guitar, they happily checked it out, tuned it, played it, assured me the guitar was functioning properly. The technician suggested I go to a heavier string to avoid the b string from going sharp as I played the that string. My only cost was the set of strings I bought. Highly recommend this establishment for musical accessories.

Possibly the best small guitar store ever. Frank's expertise is as thorough as his collection of incredible used guitars. A great selection for beginners and professionals alike.

I've been shopping at the Eagle since 2000. This is a small area (thus often gossipy, in both good and bad ways), and in all that time I have never heard a bad word about this store. Not when Ethan owned it, or now that Frank does. If someone told me they had a bad experience here, I would actually question their general credibility and character.

When they don't know something, they tell you instead of sell you. The techs they work with are always well vetted. I can't say enough good stuff. And the same goes for Insea Sound on old 33 in Nelsonville/Logan. There is no excuse to go to Columbus for your music needs without stopping at both of these stores first. They both have as high a recommendation as I can give.
