Highland Music Center & Minstrel’s Gifts

My favorite shop in EP.
Nice independently owned. Nice people. High quality and cool stuff. friendly service. Will gladly ship your stuff home. the owner is really fun to chat with knows everything about EP.

I love this shop! Great musical instruments! I got a little wooden frog instrument here and you run a stick that came with it up and down it’s back and it really sounds like it is ribbiting! Totally awesome place!

This wonderful shop is definitely worth the trip to Estes Park as it has a large assortment of music-​oriented items as well as celtic stuff, particularly Irish.
Not only do they stock hammer dulcimers, tin whistles, and lots of Celtic CDs, sheet music, and tons of gifts for the music lover (e.g., t-​shirts, coffee mugs, tea cups with saucers!, jewelry, Christmas ornaments) and supplies (e.g., reeds, stands, picks).
They also have a good collection of books, posters, prints, wall hangings, and other object d’art related to Celtic religion, history, and mythology. I loved the talisman and amulet necklaces and bought a bunch (they were very inexpensive) as stocking stuffers.
The only thing I was disappointed in was that they didn’t have any tartan items. The owner suggested mailorder as there are so many tartans that it’s not cost-​effective for them to stock. I had gone there for a tartan scarf, like the kind I bought in Edinburgh years ago, but I ended up with lots of other gifts instead.
