Randolin Music is a luthier-run shop in Shelburne, just south of Burlington, where owner Nowa Crosby has spent roughly four decades in repair and restoration work. The floor leans toward vintage fretted instruments — lots of mandolins and banjos alongside guitars, all of which customers are welcome to play — with setups and full luthier services offered, often same-day. It keeps limited walk-in hours Thursday through Saturday, with weekdays by appointment.
