Just recently bought a keyboard here - the lovely Shawn helped me pick out the right one for me, and a couple weeks later I couldn't be more happy with it! Lots of quality choice and super helpful , would absolutely recommend :)

Excellent service of my guitar by Rob at the Hull store - new strings etc. Service with a smile and genuine interest in my guitar. Highly recommended. The star rating wasn't working and would only let me highlight two stars. The service deserves 5 stars.

I recently bought my keyboard from here instead of doing online, and I'm happy I did! Upon entering the shop you'll notice the wide variety of instruments ( especially pianos) displayed. One of the staff members helpfully talked me throught the different kinds of keyboard and gave me an idea of what sort of thing I wanted to buy , this was pleasing as it felt as if he wasn't trying to sell me something and generally wanted to help me! 👍 I ended up buying the keyboard there and then and it has been a perfect fit for me ever since! I would definitely recommend this place, even if you just wanted advice!

I bought a Yamaha hybrid piano a few years ago from Gough & Davy and needed to replace one of the key tops. This was proving to be a logistical nightmare considering it was such a simple but integral part. Shaun stepped in and saved the day, for which I will be eternally grateful. Collected the replacement key today, Shaun couldn't have been more helpful, piano rescued - Cheers Shaun & G&D, my favourite music store for about 50 years!

I came in around a week ago and was greeted by the staff in a lovely manner. I was told to talk to Oli due to the type of guitar I was looking for. He was amazing and showed me a few things around what I was looking for. He showed me how each guitar I considered sounded and compared them perfectly for me. Couldn’t be more grateful and walked out with a beautiful guitar!
