We offer a variety of repair / setup services for all types of instruments. If you need a repair doing, it's always best to give us a ring first although more standard jobs, such as changing guitar strings, are less time consuming so just drop in.

Prices for all jobs are available on request. We won't do any work unless you know the price upfront and our costs are very reasonable.

The Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme is strictly for pupils attending Local Education Authority Schools who receive musical tuition as part of the curriculum.

On the scheme, a student can to purchase an instrument from us without paying the VAT on it. This can lead to quite a good saving on the standard price of the instrument.

The scheme was approved by HM Customs and Excise and reviewed in September 1994 by the VAT Office. The scheme operates nationwide through Schools, Music Centres and Education Authorities.

Here's how the Scheme works:

1. The Pupil/Parent selects an instrument.
2. The Parent pays the VAT Free figure to the School
3. The School places an official order.
4. The school is invoiced with the full amount inclusive of VAT.
5. The school claims the VAT back in the usual way.
6. The pupil collects the instrument from the school.

Rules

There are conditions to abide by to be able to use this scheme

• The pupil must be in full-time education at a Local Education Authority School.
• Pupils must be either receiving tuition at the school as part of their curriculum or receiving private tuition in support of a curricular activity such as GCSE music
• The instrument must be appropriate for the pupil's needs
• The instrument must be portable
• The instrument must initially be sent to the school and then passed to the pupil in a designated teaching room

We understand that our customers have different needs when purchasing their instruments. As well as offering rental plans on many of our instruments, we are now happy to introduce a new finance option on any purchase over £200

Here's how it works in a nutshell:

Let's say you want a Fender Standard Strat priced at £339.99.

You pay a 10% deposit up front, plus the carriage charge (In this case £33.99 + £7.95). Then decide whether you want to spread the payments over 12, 18, 24, 36 or 48 months.

The interest charge is set at a fixed rate of 18.5% for the duration of the finance agreement.

So let's say you take it over 24 months. You'd pay £33.99 + £7.95 (carriage) up front. Then payments of £15.15 per week for 24 months.

The total amount repaid would be £397.50 (including your deposit).

The total charge for your finance would therefore be £57.51, which would work out at just £2.39 per month!

Simply email us with your name and phone number and the details of whatever you'd like to purchase and we'll sort it all out over the phone = no messing about!
