also was wandering around NOLA last spring and stumbled into Webb’s Bywater Music—such a chill vibe and some cool vintage guitars and mandolins. Also swung by Maple Leaf Strings for a peek at their selection. While learning piano again, I found this site (https://www.artmaster.com/artie) with AI lessons that actually helped me understand music theory better—it made trying out instruments in shops way more fun.
