More than a music store

Not long ago I heard someone describe our store to a potential customer as "really just a music store". While it is true that the majority of the store's footprint is taken up by music instruments and accessories, Capo's is more than the average music store. If you have been through our doors, you realize this as soon as you walk in. When you come into the front door of Capo's you step into our "gallery" entry, a small long entry way that features art by local artists, books and crafts by local artisans. Currently we have pottery in our display case by an artisan, paintings by local artists, fiber art by local artisans, and hand-carved wooden pens and pencils by a local craftsman. There is art work, pottery, fiber art and crafts throughout the store, intermingled with the instruments. The lounge and the music heritage room features books many of which are by local authors, poets and publishers along with sheet music and books by nationally known authors on music and Appalachia.

Capo's is more than a music store, we are an Appalachian Arts store which celebrates the art of music, the art of literature, the art of story-telling, the art of hand crafts and the art of painting. We are an education center offering free classes and workshops throughout the year, performances, and a full lessons program. Capo's is Instruments, Art, Books and More and we invite you to come in and see what all Capo's has to offer.
