Venture inside and you'll be greeted by a very friendly man who is an expert on everything clock and barometer related. The actual room (and it is just a very small room) has an extremely impressive collection of grandfather clocks, carriage clocks, wall clocks and barometers. The back of the shop is reserved for their workshop which, by the looks of it, is as big as the shop itself. Specialising in antique clock and watch repair, their workmanship is guaranteed for two years and is of the highest quality. They also run exhibitions, featuring some of the finest antique timepieces around. And I mean it when I say they know their stuff. Just one thing - they're only open Wednesday to Friday, which can be a bit restricting if you work full time.

Very friendly and happy to take time to explain and help wherever possible. To me the revealing feature was the window to the workshop which was spotless and everything in its place which reflects true perfectionists in their profession. Service with a smile, you cannot beat it.

I only really dive in for accessories, but bought my electric out of here some years ago under the old name. Managed to get it down to £250 from £320 or thereabouts. It's got a good selection of products including amplifiers and pedals. I know a few people who have got bad service from here with regards to employees recommending a certain sort of guitar strings 'as a beginner' etc. A decent enough music store with a good selection but there are a few other big ones in Glasgow that will always get my business on big purchases ahead of this one. Recommendation: shop around.

The guitar and amp offers aimed at the beginner are good value, but most of the stock is aimed at the semiprofessional. The staff are always happy to help and will, at the merest request, unlock cabinets and show you whatever it is that you asked about. This can get a bit much: I asked for a price on a microphone and they handed one to me to inspect, pointed out the features and explained how it worked. I had no idea what they were talking about, due to my own ignorance... I think this sort of quality service is wasted on me.

I only went in to buy a microphone stand, and I know this sounds like an advert, but I was really impressed with this little shop. If you're driving there, parking is easy across the road in a side street. If you have ANY interest in playing music at all, MAKE THIS PLACE YOUR ONLY STOP!! Thanks guys, I'll be back.

At first I thought this was a bizarre position for a music shop, but if you look around you'll actually find that just around the corner there is a specialist violin shop and another music shop. Although it looks a little bit like a jumble store inside (there are piles of boxes everywhere) Band Supplies is actually one of the UK's leading musical retailers (or so they say!) They're not the cheapest place for musical instruments - but they've been in the business a long time and sell good quality products.

The staff could not be more helpful - as happy to spend time with a complete novice as with an experienced player. The shop is a treasure trove of instruments.

They have a good range of guitars including acoustics plus banjos, mandolin and ALOT of accessories. There's not much you wont find in here.
