The Strum Shop is an acoustic shop located in Roseville, California which specializes in ukuleles, acoustic guitars, banjos and mandolins. They also carry a variety of other curious instruments that you should visit the store to see for yourself.

The Strum Shop was opened by Stew Herried and Dan Elliott in May of 2012 when they saw a need for someone to support the rapidly growing community of ukulele players in the greater sacramento area. The club Uke University, founded by Stu in 2010 had grown to well over 300 members in just two years and now boasts over 400 members. The bluegrass folks have also found a home here at The Strum Shop. Members of the Sacramento chapter of the California Bluegrass Association get together on the fourth thursday of each month for a jam. Acoustic music of all styles really seems to have become the escape of choice in our heavily digitally saturated society. Here at The Strum Shop, we are more than happy to oblige.

Ukulele brands the Strum Shop carry include Kanile’a, KoAloha, Pono, Kala, Kamoa, Nalu, aNueNue, Fender, Riptide, Gretsch, and much more.  Our guitar wall features Guild, Takamine, Kremona, Fender, Gretsch and several others. We carry classical, acoustic, and resonator guitars as well as 5-String and Tenor Banjo’s, and mandolins.
