A working shop, a builder's bench, and one storefront.
Idaho Music Co. is the repair counter and showroom. Mountain Ash Guitar is the builder's bench out back. Same roof, same hands — now sharing space with the Wabi Sabi Art Gallery in downtown Twin Falls.
Built around the bench.
Mountain Ash Guitar started in a small workshop with a straightforward idea: build instruments worth keeping. One at a time, by hand, for players who notice the difference. That part hasn't changed.
What changed is the storefront. Idaho Music Co. opened to give the shop a real address — somewhere players in the Magic Valley can walk in with a guitar that buzzes, a banjo that won't stay in tune, or a piano that hasn't been touched in twenty years, and walk out with the problem solved.
Today the two operate together. Repair and restoration in front; custom builds on the bench out back. Players come in for a setup, see the work in progress, and sometimes leave talking about a build of their own. That's the shop working exactly the way it's supposed to.
“If it has strings or hammers, we can probably help.”
In 2026 Idaho Music Co. moved into the Wabi Sabi Art Gallery on Main Street — downtown Twin Falls, walking distance from everything. It's a fitting home: a working shop next door to working art, both made with care, both worth coming to see.
What each side of the shop does.
Idaho Music Co.
The shop you walk into.
Stringed-instrument repair and setup, restoration of older instruments, and piano tuning across the Magic Valley. This is the address you bring the instrument to.
Mountain Ash Guitar
The bench out back.
Custom hand-built guitars — one player, one conversation, one instrument at a time. Mountain Ash is the builder's name; Idaho Music Co. is where the work happens.
Music shop, art gallery, same address.
Wabi Sabi Art Gallery is downtown Twin Falls' gallery for regional artists, antiques, and the kind of curated weirdness you can't find at a chain. Sharing space with them means the shop sits next to art that gets the same treatment our builds do — slow, intentional, made to last.
Walk in for a repair quote. Stay for the gallery. Both are worth the stop.
