One thing you learn as you grow up into adulthood is that your parents were probably right and…read morewiser about a lot of things than you perhaps gave them credit for at the time. One of the things I'm eternally grateful to my parents for is the fact that they made me finish all my piano exams at school, so that I can now play most music and I'm involved in the worship at church. My sister and I have a lovely upright piano at home with a wonderful rich sound but one of my secret drerams is to one day own a house big enough to house a baby grand piano. Until then, I have to content myself by wandering into places like Steinway Hall and metaphorically drool over the wonderful grand pianos in there They have a great selection of traditional non electronic grand pianos, most of which are priced in the 'serious treat to oneself' category! I've been too shy to have a tinkle in the shop so far but I then head down to Chappells in Soho to play on their electronic pianos, keyboards and traditional pianos. Steinway also hold free concerts, mainly on Wednesday evenings when you can hear these pianos being put through their paces If I ever get that house, I'll be back!

I'm a professional pianist who came all the way to London for a piano (from Pennsylvania USA). I…read morewas happily playing on of their pianos inside Steinway hall, when I was asked to stop playing so that someone else who was in the adjacent room could hear the piano he was playing on. I was so complete turned off by this. Lucky for me my son recorded the entire thing (he'd been recording me playing in the hall) so I have recorded evidence of their "request". Well, I won't be buying a Steinway or any piano from this place, not after the snobbery I encountered whilst in London. I may be a nobody in their eyes, but someone else just got my business; in London of course.

This is a shop for serious musicians but is also a good place to find presents for musicians. The…read moreshop has been here for over 100 years and is going strong. From the outside, it looks quite small but like a Tardis, it opens out over 2 floors and has many functions. At the front of the shop, you can find all sorts of music-related gifts for that musical person you're buying for, ranging from pencils twisted into treble clefs to models of miniature grand pianos. There are some musical instruments for sale and some contemporary and pop sheet music in the middle section of the shop but it's in the back of the ground floor that you really find the gem. If you're a classical pianist, this section holds a veritable treasure trove of sheet music. Downstairs, there's performance space and space for dedicated publishers. On the notice board, there are lots of adverts for lessons, performances and groups looking for players. You can also shop from Schotts online. Great shop for musicians, especially classical musicians.

As with Wembley Drum Centre, I have been a customer of Footes since I was a kid. I can't say that I…read morehave ever bought any drums here. I have deliberated and bargained many many times, but they often are a little pricey. The things that I have bought over the years are mainly sticks, heads and DVD/VHS. On those items (incidentally the kind of products that seem to have their retail prices fixed by the manufacturer) which are not cheaper elsewhere, I have spent thousands across 15 years with Footes. Customer service can be patchy, but it does depend on the staff who are working there at the time. Way back, the staff were very knowledgeable and really bought me as a young customer. The range carried is not the widest in the world and lacks the custom drum presence of other drum retailers. The small display area is obviously the cause of this, but in Central London, what can one really expect? All in all, I really like Footes and no doubt will be a customer for many years to come.

What's more annoying is that they requested that I had to bring the proof of address into the store and could not just email it to them.
