Gardonyi's Music Shop

I would highly recommand this shop as they are very friendly and knowledgeable. Being a beginner guitarist I wasn't sure of all the terminology and how to correct the setup of my guitar but the owner is extremely helpful and put me at ease while explaining the bits I was unsure about. Very nice to have a down to earth shop owner and not a rude salesman will be returning again for all my musical needs :)

I had such a lovely experience here recently. The owner was so incredibly helpful and kind, and we had a lovely chat while he restrung my guitar. I will definitely be returning whenever I have a music issue or enquiry and I hugely recommend coming here.

Really brilliant experience, took my daughter in for her first guitar and John gave us loads of time and taught her a few chords so she could try out all the guitars. I had considered just buying online but so glad I didn't!

I'm a guitar addict, so my only interest is in that instrument - and I found the stock quite limited here; it's a small shop that caters for every instrument, so ultimately there isn't that much space to devote purely to guitars.

Having said that, there are a few second-hand guitars for sale at a fair price, various books of music and a few other bits and pieces.

I popped in to get a new capo having lost my old one, and found only two options here - the generic 'L' shaped spring-loaded design (which I don't think works very well on some guitars), and a thin plastic one from G7 which I bought for a tenner, although it's quite fiddly and not ideal. I was hoping that they had a Schubb, but in the end I had to resort to going online instead.

The chap working there was very pleasant, although I felt he wasn't very familiar with the items on display that I asked about.

Worth phoning ahead to see if they stock what you're looking for before you travel.

A lovely store with lovely staff and I just love my new guitalele, which I’ve called Gigi. Will definitely be coming back to add more instruments to my collection.

Helpful staff, surprisingly wide range of instruments and music in a small shop.

What makes this place wonderful is John. I am in no way an expert when it comes to guitars so I usually get quite nervous going into music shops. Not this one though. Popped in to purchase an acoustic guitar and at the same time had a wonderful chat with John. Indeed, you don't get this kind of service much these days. Goes to show the immense passion that he has for all things music in general. I am delighted to find this gem of a shop and cannot recommend it enough!

I recently purchased an acoustic guitar from Gardonyi’s and I was so pleased with the guitar and service I received by John. The shops was not open due to lockdown restrictions so I called to ask for advice as to which guitar would be best for a beginner. John listened to my requirements and gave me really useful information and advice. He scheduled a video call so he could show me the a few different guitars. He delivered the guitar to my home the following day! I am delighted with the guitar I purchased and wanted to share my experience of this gem of a music shop. Thank you very much John!
