Hello All,
I am taking a very short trip to Washington DC this weekend. I was curious if you knew of any places in that area that sell / cater to Mandolin, new or vintage.
Unfortunately, it is just for a long weekend.
Thanks in advance!

Any Mandolin/instrumental shop in Washington DC?

House of Musical Traditions in Takoma Park MD seems to be worth checking out. They apparently have a modest but interesting inventory of older mandolins.

If "that area" includes a 40 minute drive to Baltimore, you will find a decent enough selection at Appalachian Bluegrass Shoppe in Catonsville. It's right off of the Baltimore beltway, and a relatively easy "there and back" to DC.

Above and beyond the brands listed, they will from time to time have some vintage Gibby's and Martins there. Enjoy the visit, and good luck on the search!
