Myhre’s Music

I got it in my head that I wanted a tenor ukulele.
I walked in the door and was greeted by a friendly, kind gentleman who helped me select different styles.
I told him I was a newbie and still learning and he was Happy to let me try out any that I wanted, playing along with me to hear the real tone of the different brands.
He was very patient with me and I hummed and hawed over the Zebrawood or the Mahogany.
I chose a lovely Kala mahogany one with a fancy high gloss. I love it!
As I was being rung up, another man on staff commended me on my selection. I explained that I was new to ukes and he picked up my tenor and played a heartwarming ‘O Danny Boy’ and I knew I made the right choice. Beautiful to know what my new instrument can do in skilled hands. Very inspirational.
The prices, I noticed, were incredibly reasonable for the quality instruments in the clean little shop.
I will be back, no question. :)

This is the place to go for acoustic stringed instruments and is a beloved fixture in Edmonton.
It seems like Byron Myhre (Alphie’s son) is always there, and he is quick to share his passion for making music and passing it along. He spent quite a while with us explaining the difference between banjos. During our most recent trip to demo upright basses, they gave us plenty of time and privacy to try out what they had in stock without feeling like we needed to have serious chops before touching the gear. They know their stock very well and are very interested in giving very good value for their product/​prices.
The love of music is apparent in all of the staff and they are well connected in the local music community. They were quick to prove several referrals for local and very well known teachers and also sell instruments on consignment.

Myhre’s Music is a haven for acoustic music lovers, especially guitarists and fiddlers. Alfie Myhre, who owns the store, is an accomplished bluegrass musician and super nice guy who really cares about his customers. My grade 12 graduation present was a twelve-​string acoustic guitar from Myhre’s Music and I remember how Mr. Myhre helped me make the right choice of instrument and made sure I was happy before I left the store. And you know what? I still have the guitar (and play it too). I also had my very first guitar repaired here. Yes, the crew can take care of instrument repairs. This is a family-​owned business located in central Edmonton.
