The Last Ballad Of Mandolin Brothers, Staten Island's Beloved Guitar Shop

For the past 40 years, legendary musicians and guitar aficionados have been flocking to Mandolin Brothers, the Staten Island mom-and-pop guitar emporium. Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Christopher Guest, Dave Van Ronk, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Steven Segal and Conan O'Brien are but some of the big name players who made the trip (or sent their instruments) to SI for a chance to talk shop with deceased owner Stan Jay and try out one of their hundreds of gorgeous vintage and refurbished instruments.
