About Ava Music


Ava Music is a Central Lonsdale shop stocking acoustic instruments, accessories, and sheet music for North Vancouver musicians of all levels.

Rainy afternoons on the North Shore often drive us indoors to pick up a new hobby or replace a broken string, and having a dedicated music shop in Central Lonsdale makes that impulse much easier to act on. Ava Music serves everyone from absolute beginners selecting their first acoustic guitar to seasoned players hunting for a specific boutique pedal or hard-to-find string gauge. Its position near the Lonsdale Quay SeaBus terminal and the Saturday farmers' market means you can easily pop in during a weekend errand run without navigating bridge traffic or big-box parking lots. Residents in the surrounding apartment towers particularly appreciate having a neighborhood merchant to support rather than making the trek across the water to mainland chains.

The inventory leans toward acoustic and folk instruments, reflecting our local community of weekend strummers, Capilano University students, and parents seeking durable starter gear that survives beginner lessons. Shelves hold method books, reeds, drumsticks, entry-level amplifiers, sheet music, tuners, capos, and gig bags alongside a thoughtful ukulele selection. Staff routinely point newcomers toward practice rooms and instructors in the Lower Lonsdale corridor when guidance is needed. The true convenience lies in handling everything on foot between school pick-up and dinner on Lonsdale Avenue. Independent shops of this scale are increasingly rare here, which explains why musicians from Lynn Valley, Edgemont, and the Lower Lonsdale flats treat this spot as their default supply stop.
