The Full Local Music Shop Experience — Wherever You Are in the UK

Your Local Music Shop, Online and In-Store

There's something irreplaceable about walking into a great music shop. The smell of fresh wood, rosin and lemon oil, the sound of someone testing a ukulele in the corner, the advice from someone who genuinely plays. At Music Bits, we've built everything we do around that experience — and we've made it available to musicians across the whole of the UK.

Whether you're popping in from just around the corner or ordering from the other end of the country, you'll get the same level of care, knowledge, and quality that defines a truly great local music shop.

For Our Local Customers

If you're based nearby, Music Bits is your home for everything musical. Come in and try before you buy — whether that's strumming a few chords on a new acoustic, testing the action on a bass, or getting a feel for a set of drumsticks. Our team are working musicians themselves, and they're here to help you find the right instrument, not just any instrument.

We also offer in-house setup and repair services, so when your guitar needs a fret level, your brass instrument needs a service, or your electronics need attention, you don't have to send it away to a faceless repair centre. Bring it in, talk to us, and we'll take care of it properly.

Our click-and-collect option means you can browse online at your leisure, place your order, and pick it up at a time that suits you — no waiting in for deliveries, no compromise on speed.

For Musicians Across the UK

Distance is no barrier to getting the Music Bits experience. We ship nationwide, and we take the same care packing and dispatching your order as we would handing it to you over the counter. Every instrument is checked before it leaves us, and we use trusted couriers to make sure it arrives safely.

Not sure which model is right for you? Drop us a message or give us a call. Our team are happy to talk through your options, compare specs, and give you honest, unbiased advice — just as they would in person. We're not a call centre; you'll speak to someone who knows their stuff.

Our online store carries a wide range of instruments and pro audio gear, including:

• Guitars — acoustic, electric, classical, and bass, from beginner to professional
• Ukuleles — soprano, concert, tenor, baritone and bass across all budgets
• Drums and Percussion — full kits, electronic kits, practice pads, and accessories
• Brass and Woodwind — trumpets, trombones, saxophones, clarinets, flutes, and more
• Pro Audio — microphones, interfaces, monitors, mixers, and recording gear
• Accessories — strings, reeds, cases, stands, cables, and everything in between

New and Used Instruments

We stock both new and pre-owned instruments, giving you more choice at every price point. Our used instruments are carefully inspected and set up before going on sale, so you can buy with confidence. Whether you're a student picking up your first instrument or a seasoned player hunting for a vintage find, we've got options worth exploring.

Honest Advice, Every Time

One of the things that sets a great local music shop apart from a big-box retailer is the quality of the conversation. At Music Bits, we believe in giving you the information you need to make the right decision — not just the one that's easiest to sell. If a cheaper option suits your needs better, we'll tell you. If something isn't right for your playing style, we'll say so.

That philosophy doesn't change whether you're standing in front of us or messaging us from 300 miles away.

Setup, Repairs, and Ongoing Support

Buying an instrument is just the beginning. Keeping it playing well is where the real relationship starts. Our in-house technicians handle everything from basic setups and string changes to more involved repairs and restorations. If you're not local, get in touch and we can advise on the best course of action — we're always happy to help.

Come and See Us — or Let Us Come to You

Music Bits is proud to be a proper, independent music shop with deep roots in our local community. But we're equally proud to serve musicians the length and breadth of the UK. Whatever you need — an instrument, advice, a repair, or just a question about gear — we're here for you.

Browse our full range online, or come and visit us in store. Either way, you'll get the Music Bits experience: knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely passionate about music.
