I do not recommend Chamberlains, but I would recommend Music Notes in Liverpool if one is passing.

Where is Music Notes in Liverpool?

I much prefer this one to Millers in the middle of Cambridge, although if I'm in Bury St Edmunds I would always use Balaams, contrary to earlier comments!

on second thoughts, Balaams arent that bad ... i guess. But if you need to order a book, dont even bother. i have ordered multiple books, and waited well over a month for them to arrive only to discover they ordered to wrong one. apparently, it should always be in the following tuesday. i didnt realise tuesday in the following month.

I really like Beverley Music Centre in, well, Beverley. It's a small shop but the music is well organised and their string specialist was a dream when I went with an odd enquiry. And Beverley's worth a trip to look round the minster and sample a tea shop.

Oh no, but the sad news is that Biggars has gone into administration!!! Where are the AB going to hold exams? Where am I going to shop when in Glasgow? More importantly, where else offers a good cup of coffee in such pleasant surroundings??

I haven't been to Beverley for many years. I might have some incentive now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

i love 'all flutes plus'

they have a great range of instruments to try out, ( you can even take some home with you to try them out in your own home accousti (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flute.gif) cs). The staff are friendly and helpful, and it has a really nice atmosphere.

Ooh, thanks for that info - I'm on the lookout for a local(ish) string specialist, might have to take a trip to Beverley! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I know that they rebuilt a bow for a friend and made a very good job of it. In a similar direction Pocklington Music is a good shop (just off the market place), lots of instruments, spare parts, music etc., worth a visit if you are anywhere near.

My favourite music shops are the Hobgoblin stores, and their mail order service is excellent too.

Since no one's mentioned George Gladstone's in Darlington, I'd like to give them a plug. They sell woodwind and brass instruments, and George also services and repairs them in his shop. He services all of our saxophones and repaired one of them when it was damaged - I'd thoroughly recommend him. They also sell keyboards, sheet music and music accessories (ie. stands, metronomes, reeds etc).

Their website is http://www.georgegladstone.co.uk/
