Montreal and Quebec trip

[Paul Lichter]

I'll be in Quebec and Monteal for a few days each the first week in October. Where to go to listen to music or to look at instruments?

Thanks.

Nothing more than anecdotal:

I was just there within the last month. Didn't see much in the way of instruments, but also wasn't really looking. I was staying in the old port part of Montreal and there were two stores on the same block of St. Antoine near St. Urbain. Minimal mandos at one. The other, Steve's, had about 15, most of them Michael Kellys. They also had one of the 8-string Epiphone mandobird electrics that had a very strange nut, the string spacings were uniform across the two G and the two D strings, then there was a gap, and then the same equal spacings between the two As and two Es. Very strange. I don't think they are all like that, it certainly doesn't look that way in pictures. Maybe it's a French-Canadian thing? :-)

Brian Dean, an excellent maker, is in Montreal.
