About Wentworth Music
Picking up an instrument is an easy thing to start and a harder thing to keep supplied, since strings break, reeds split and cables fail at the worst possible moment. Wentworth Music holds an address at 51 Nanaimo Ave in downtown Penticton.
Music shops cover ground that is broader than the front window suggests. Instrument sales sit alongside accessories and consumables, and many stores also arrange rentals for school programs, handle repairs and setups, or connect students with teachers. Which of those a given shop takes on is worth a direct question before you drive in with a case under your arm. If you are shopping for a beginner, ask what a rental costs against a purchase and what happens at the end of a term, since the answer changes the arithmetic considerably. For repairs, describing the problem on the phone usually gets you a realistic timeline.
Nanaimo Avenue crosses the downtown grid close to Main Street, in the compact core holding most of the shops and services in the city. Penticton draws students, players and school programs from Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos, Naramata and the smaller communities between them, so a shop here serves a region rather than a neighbourhood. Parking in the centre is easy by the standards of larger cities, and the walk between the downtown blocks and the Okanagan Lake beaches is a short one. Anyone making the trip in from out of town is well advised to phone first and confirm that what they need is on hand.

Where to shop in Penticton: small, walkable and mostly local
Penticton's shopping is smaller than Kelowna's and more its own thing: a Main Street of independents, specialty food shops that outclass their size, and Cherry Lane covering the mall tier.
