I've been having accordion lessons with John since January 2011…read more I first saw John playing the accordion while he was busking in Clifton Village and was truly impressed by his talent and obvious love for the instrument. When I found out that he also taught, I decided to take the plunge and get the lessons I'd wanted for a while. I phoned John (a friend had picked up his business card) and he took me through what I needed to consider and gave me some really helpful, impartial advice on buying my own accordion. John's a really patient and flexible teacher and is happy to work at a pace I'm comfortable with. He's always listened to me, taking the time to understand what kind of music I wanted to play and what I wanted to achieve, and choosing pieces at my level/ shaping the lessons accordingly. I've found him to be a very positive, knowledgeable and encouraging person to learn from.

I absolutely love music. In the car, in the shower, at work - any time is a good time for music. I…read morelove the stuff. Playing it, however, is a different story. I can make a guitar sound alright and I'm sure if I leant on a piano it'd make a noise but it's never been my obsession. For those whom it is, this shop is for you. Row after row of sheet music take centre stage in this performance with everything from Led Zeppelin to Marvin Gaye in all sorts of instruments. Then toward the back of the shop you can find the real beauties - the saxophones and the drum kits, neatly laid out in this ample store. A column of beautiful harmonicas and flutes adorns one wall and some more percussion in another. As you approach the till expect boxes and pots of plectrums and tuners, straps and clasps. The cashier himself is music personified every part an extra stumbled in from Wayne's World. The Music Room is everything that you would it expect it to be and a little more.

It's a great place to go if you're looking for something in particular, but it's also got such a good range that it's worth going in to have a browse. At the back of the store theres a fairly decent selection of brass and woodwind instruments, as well as some digital pianos and drum kits. Certainly worth a look if you're a musician in the area.

I've been welcomed into a world that isn't just about guitars but seems to be intrinsically about the life. This shop is a classic example of people living the guitar playing life. Most well known for their selection of vintage guitars this is a fine place to hold onto some truly beautiful pieces of work and utter "she will be mine" straight out of Wayne's World. For those serious on buying a guitar these guys have a wide choice and a clearly high level of expertise to guide you through the process. With lessons to boot this seems to be a very good guitar one stop.

This is a good supplier of both big name brands, and smaller lesser well known models. The best thing, though, are the vintage guitars, which are purely beautiful and worth beholding even if you don't give it a try and play. There's a few superb Gibsons and Rickenbackers in stock at the moment so I strongly advise a browse. Unlike their Bishopston rivals, they do have some of the standard guitars you would expect to see in a guitar shop. The owner is usually in the hop, a fairly friendly guy who's always willing to help out. They also have guitar tuition on offer, but I haven't heard any reports about the standard of teaching - the prices seem quite reasonable though so perhaps worth a go.

Their mindless chatbots gets you nowhere, very slowly by design to frustrate you. Through email I demanded payment so they just closed my account. What? This is fraud ,plain and simple. I filed a complaint with the Illinois Attorney General, Florida Attorney General, Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. District Attorney (Chicago). I was horrified at hundreds of social media complaints whereby people were NEVER PAID. This company has all the earmarks of a scam: No customer service, no regard for reputation or market image, no meaningful payment mechanism (Plaid is useless), zero follow-up to make sure customers get paid. The CEO is a millionaire suspended California lawyer getting rich off the backs of unsuspecting sellers. Stay the F away from this company. Brian Eichelhart

This shop is the first of its kind and the type of place that makes you proud to live in Bristol. Some of the owners are members of the well known Balkan Gypsy band based in Bristol called La Fuchsia (...or very similar) and they have a direct line to Mostar so they can order all of the incredible instruments directly. The instruments are so beautifully shaped you want to pick them up just to see what sound they make. This shop is new and literally opened today. It was fantastic, they played these beautifully shaped instruments live all day but even if you missed it I would recommend taking a stroll down to this shop in St Nicks Market as, wonderfully, this music has become of real cultural significance to Bristol.
