There are drum shells, cymbals, drum sticks, cahons, TRAVEL cahons, studio, live and stadium shakers, and a section dedicated to Brazilian percussion. My eyes are on a Squire Jazz bass and a beeeee-yoo-tee-ful mango scented Eddy Finn tenor ukelele with the warmest sound ever. My hands are all aver the percussion, banging this, twanging that, and shaking everything. My companion leaves with a guitar bag, a Shubb capo, and a guitar stand, all at good prices. I manage to resist the huge temptation of buying the tenor ukelele, even on the second visit to the shop later that day. And it's a regret, as the shop price is cheaper than any price I can find on the internet. Smiley, knowledgeable and freindly staff mean I'll be back here soon when I'm next in Nottingham.

If you are thinking of buying valves from them, please think again. Go and read their terms and conditions. These shameless people make the GROTESQUE claim that valves are "perishable" and therefore non-returnable. The law does say that perishable items are non-returnable, but "perishables" are things like food, or fresh flowers. Not valves. Hotrox was forced to refund me by Paypal. Yet, they did not change their terms and conditions after that. Shame on them, these are FRAUDSTERS.

After a number of phone calls and email exchanges I returned the valves and this was the reply I received from Hotrox customer services: "We have further inspected the valves returned. Unfortunately the faulty/cracked valve has been received in completely broken condition which makes any further inspection impossible. There is no other way forward with this issue other than to offer you once again the opportunity to purchase one single valve to make up the pair again. We DO NOT sell these as singles so I hope you will receive this as the final gesture of good will that it is intended to be. I will await your further instructions. Kind regards Toni" So their alleged 90 day 'no fuss' guarantee is utterly worthless - save your money, buy valves direct from China - at least you know you are gonna get shafted if there is a problem and at much less cost.
