Artichoke Music is the hub of a thriving community of folk musicians in the Pacific Northwest. Offering a rich selection of instruments lovingly made by North American craftsmen, it is the premier place to come to in Portland when you need a little music in your life.  

THE Place to Come for Folk Instruments

Artichoke offers a large and growing selection of acoustic guitars, as well as mandolins, ukuleles, banjos, fiddles and recorders. In fact, whatever kind of acoustic instrument you are looking for (from the unusual to the sublime), this is the place to be!

Used, Consigned & Vintage Instruments

Artichoke Music also has a great selection of consignments, trade-ins, used, and vintage instruments, too. (We are always buying and selling fine, used, and vintage acoustic instruments, so give us a call if you have something you would like to sell, trade or consign.)

We are especially proud of our growing selection of vintage instruments, including a collection of wonderful old cowboy guitars. Come in frequently and watch our museum grow!

Accessories, Books & Local Recordings

Artichoke Music is also the place to come for all your strings and accessories. Whether you are looking for a capo, tuner or bodhran tipper, you will find it here.

Be sure to browse through our large selection of books and local recordings, too. If you can't find what you are looking for, let us know and we will do our best to track it down for you.
