I bought my first Ukulele from Brent in 2007, went back and bought another in 2008. That last one was a great starter into a love of playing Ukulele and it was thanks to the awesome set up and availability of this instrument in one of my favorite towns to visit (then as a tourist). Since then, that uke is now my daughter's, gave it to her in 2009 and she has surpassed my playing ability.

I still play ukes and love them but my latest acquisition from Brent at Stringed Instrument Peddler was the Kala 6 string guitar that my wife gave me for my 48th birthday a few weeks ago, that I had fallen in love with at Brent's store. He helped her conspire to buy this without me knowing and it was surely a big and happy surprise! I love Brent's new location and his find selection. Yes, you will hear that the prices are high but if you take into account that he is not a big box store and can't get the discounts others get, he only selects the best quality instruments and sets them up, and he is there for you after the sale PLUS the fact that you have an instant memory built into the instrument you buy from him, that is came from Eureka Springs and a special little shop like his. well, it's worth whatever price tag he has on it! I love my Ukes and my new Kala!

I bought a few guitars from Brent years ago when he had Acoustic Stringed Instruments in Hutchinson, Kansas. Brent was always extremely good taking care of my guitars when they needed to be worked on. Work was impeccable. The man takes pride in what he does. EXTREMELY knowledgeable. You get what you pay for!

Brent Peirce is an expert in Martin guitars. His appriasal was very informative and I even learned a bit about how these wonderful instruments are built. Thanks Brent! If you need your guitar appraised, do yourself a favor and have it done by a professional like Brent. P.S. Thanks Mike for playing the warm aloha slack key on my grandfathers guitar! Even though the strings were old and rusty, you made it sing.

He wouldn't let me play any of his guitars because I wasn't going to buy them. Also super overpriced.

I was just in this store and had a nice conversation about cigar box guitars and folk art. The owner is very kind and enthusiastic. I will definitely return!

Drove by this place 4 or 5 times already needing strings, they are never open. I will just have to order them online :

When a business website says they're only open for a few hours one day a week you would think they'd be open for them. We drove two hours to find out they weren't.

Brent is such a great guy. Eureka is a funky town, definitely worth a visit but if there's bad weather and no tourists, lots of shops will lock up for the day. So do yourself a favor and if you're planning a visit, call ahead so you'll know he's open. I guess I disagree with the low ratings on here, because it's not like the guy is performing some kind of mandatory public service. It's his prerogative to keep his own hours. Plan ahead and you'll be glad you made the trip.

This place is never open, even when you call and they say they are open and you drive 20min then wait 30min just to get strings. I will order online even though I would much rather support small and local business.
