Used instruments bought and sold:
We are always interested in purchasing damaged/old/unloved instruments......maybe you have an old guitar in the loft or a long-since discarded saxophone which needs a new home..! We usually have a selection of used instruments available for sale, all of which have been thoroughly checked & serviced by our on-site guitar and woodwind workshops.
Music teachers & other local links:
We've created a 'Local Music Community' section on our website, where you will find details of local private music teachers as well as other useful contacts such as piano tuners and music clubs & societies. Please be aware that although many of the music teachers are personally known to us, the information displayed is provided by the individual teachers and we cannot therefore guarantee its accuracy.

Our popular and affordable rent to buy scheme allows you or your child to try an instrument for an initial 3 month period, after which there are options to purchase at a discount price, extend the rental period or return the instrument. Full details here.
