Acoustic Music is Connecticut’s premier acoustic guitar shop and the only store of its kind between NYC and Boston. In 2023, it relocated to Chester—a picturesque, arts-loving New England village—where it now occupies the first floor of a sustainably retrofitted, award-winning building from the 1700s.

The shop is owned by architect Leonard Wyeth, a devoted guitar enthusiast and historian. His longtime business partner, Brian Wolfe, has designed several guitars for Martin, including the Nick Drake limited edition model in 2020, and handles all instrument appraisals for the shop. Dan Carrano, a talented graphic artist with a knack for matching customers with the right instrument, manages the store. 

Beyond guitars, Acoustic Music also offers a curated selection of banjos, ukuleles, mandolins, and basses. It has been featured in Connecticut Magazine as a must-visit destination for guitar players and collectors.
