Every town around here used to have a music store. Today there are very few. There is only a very few places, I can only think of two but there may be a couple of more, that can do simple guitar, bass, mandolin, etc set ups as well as repairs.

On top of that there are fewer places that offer music lessons. I mean real music lessons like reading music and learning the proper playing techniques. Back in the day every local music store offered lessons like those mentioned.
