Fodor's Expert Review O'Brien's Music Store

This shop bills itself as the oldest store on the oldest street in the oldest city in North America. It's worth a visit just to see the accordions, tin whistles, fiddles, ukuleles, and ugly sticks (traditional Newfoundland instruments made from discarded tools and household items) on display. The shop also stocks recorded music, and you are sure to see your favorite local musicians popping in for a purchase or a chat, and occasionally to play a tune.
