Downtown Manchester, Tennessee

Stone Fort Music

Stringed instruments, lessons, and a room where players can gather.

  • Instruments Banjos, fiddles, guitars, mandolins, harmonicas, digital pianos, and the small parts that keep them playing.
  • Lessons Private lessons for local players. Write and say which instrument, and when you can come in.
  • A place to meet Built for the acoustic players around Manchester, not only for the sale.

Owned by players


Joey Gipson and Michael Klug opened the shop on East Main. Joey is a championship banjo player. Michael plays fiddle and clawhammer banjo with the Stones River Reelers.

The name comes from the Old Stone Fort, the ancient stone enclosure just west of town. Settlers called it a fort. It was a place people came to. The shop is meant to work the same way.
