This is Bedford's only actual music shop - the only problem being that not many people realise that…read moreit's there! It does take a good 10 minute walk away from the shopping centre to find it and if you didn't know Bedford I doubt you would ever be able to find it! They stock a good range of things in this shop although the majority are guitars. They also teach instruments in the studios above. Next door (linked inside the shop) there is a repair studio, headphone and disco shop. As there are no other music shops in Bedford, prices aren't very competitive. If you are interested in music and live in Bedford, going to this shop is a must!

Dots is a nice little shop that felt like family business inside…read more I was staying in the area and needed guitar strings. I didn't want to take a 2 hours trip for a £8 set of strings. I searched local businesses with few succes with phone calls. Except this one. I checked what they have. A bit of this and that, on the cheap side. Totally appropriate with their location. Several type of instruments, enough music sheet and tabs to have fun. Open on a week end, the owner had my favorite brand and my gauge. That was easy and fast. Sure they won't have the custom shop model you were really looking for but they're around the corner and they saved my day :) I can't help. I want to give an extra star for being so convenient.
