19.01.2022 Youve heard of an after school snack, but have you heard of an after school surprise cello?! This bright young cellist came into our shop last week looking for a brand new, full size cello outfit! After going through the whole big selection process, the outfit that won the day was the exquisitely crafted Heinrich Gill 304, the Carbon Fibre Matrix bow by JonPaul Bows, and a stunning blue New Tech case from Bam Cases.... At the time, they didnt actually purchase the outfit and our young cellist was very disappointed - but it was all a ruse! Mum came back yesterday to pick everything up in order to surprise her when she came back from school! And surprise her she did! A big thank you to Mum for sending us through those pictures - were so glad we got to be a part of the surprise and we wish you all the best with your new instrument!

13.01.2022 Its not often that you love a saxophone so much you buy it twice! This fine gentleman actually visited us back in January to purchase the stunning Yanagisawa W010 Tenor Saxophone. Although he was delighted with his new saxophone, his neighbours were clearly not music lovers and complained every time he practiced between the "unacceptable" hours of 4-6pm! So he made the tough decision to sell his beloved instrument. Ever since he parted ways with his saxophone he has b...een filled with regret, so today he decided to follow his heart and "stick it to the man", using one of our generous purchase plans to get his hands on his dream instrument once more! Good luck with your new instrument, and if your neighbours give you any grief send them our way!
