Monterey Music Store
419 Alvarado St., Monterey, (831) 372‑5893
This seminal music museum has always offered the musicians among us a respite from the woes of everyday modern life, right in downtown Monterey. The question here becomes not what they do have, but rather what they don’t. All things rock, blues, jazz, and classical guitars, basses, winds, strings and percussion? Check. Blues harps? Check. Exotic percussion instruments? Check. Or if you have a different instrument in need of a tune‑up, bring it by for some TLC. Musicians on tour stop by for a look‑see – it’s that big a deal.
