Today it's home to more than 70 studios, shops and galleries, and now a guitar shop. Use the Cooper Street entrance and take the stairs up. If stairs are difficult or you're bringing in something you don't want to carry up, call or text us and we'll arrange access.

A restring is $25 for guitar or bass, $35 for a 12-string or mandolin, and $40 for a classical or a locking tremolo. Service is first come, first served. Need it back by a certain date?
