Scope and content
Several rows of stringed instruments, including guitars and banjos, line the walls of Myers Music in Seattle. The small store had a good location in downtown Seattle, close to the Pike Street Public Market. Customers could take in a glance the many types of instruments sold by Myers. The guitars and banjos in this February 10, 1958, photograph are hung on hooks on pegboard. Catching the eye are some that are upside down. A few have prices listed on them, including a "Tiple" for $65 and a mandolin-type instrument for $75. What appear to be carrying cases for the instruments or perhaps portable speakers with handles are on the floor before the wall display; a phonograph record of musician Dave Brubeck is placed near a drum set. Photograph ordered by Myers Music.
