Fine Musical Instrument(s) Shop

[englishstudent]

Hi,

which one is correct?

1. Fine Musical Instruments Shop
2. Fine Musical Instrument Shop

On the website it says "Fine Musical Instrument Shop"
It is a website for a shop that buys and sells musical instruments.

Thanks

I'd use 'instrument' here as it's functioning like an adjective describing the shop.

I see. Thanks. You mean it does not mean a shop that sells A
fine musical instrument? ;)

No- a shoe shop doesn't just sell one shoe. If the word is normally used in the plural, like 'sports', then we'll use it in the plural, but if it has a common singular form, we use the singular.

I never thought about it but that's true.
Thanks for the explanation. :)
