We've Gone a Little Sketchy — And We're Proud of It!
🎨✏️ We've Been Feeling a Little… Sketchy Lately
And honestly? We're not sorry about it. 😄
We've given our shop a brand new artistic makeover — and let's just say, the results are drawing a lot of attention! Whether you're a seasoned pro musician or just pencilling in your very first guitar lesson, Music Bits is the place to be. We've been part of the music scene for years, and we're proud to be the go-to independent music shop for players of all ages and abilities across the region and beyond.
So pull up a stool, tune up, and let us tell you a little more about what we do — and why we think you'll love us. (Spoiler: it's not just because we're sketchy.)
🎸 A Shop Built for Musicians, By Musicians
Walk through our doors at 17 High Street, Alford, and you'll immediately understand what makes Music Bits different. This isn't a faceless chain store with rows of identical products and staff who'd rather be somewhere else. This is a proper, independent music shop — the kind where the people behind the counter actually play, actually care, and actually know their stuff.
From the moment you step in, you're surrounded by instruments. Guitars hang from the walls, ukuleles line entire display sections in every colour and shape imaginable, acoustic guitars stand proudly in rows waiting to be played, and glass cabinets are packed with accessories, harmonicas, reeds, strings, and all the little essentials that every musician needs. It's the kind of shop you can spend an hour in without even noticing the time passing.
And if you can't make it in person? No problem at all — our online store at www.musicbits.co.uk is open 24/7, with nationwide delivery so your next instrument is just a few clicks away, wherever you are in the UK.
🎵 What We Stock
We carry an enormous range of instruments and accessories to suit every style, budget, and ability level. Here's just a taste of what you'll find with us:
- Electric Guitars — from beginner starter packs to serious gigging instruments, we've got a fantastic selection of electric guitars in all shapes, colours, and price points.
- Acoustic & Classical Guitars — whether you're after a budget-friendly first acoustic or a premium fingerstyle guitar, our acoustic wall speaks for itself. Brands like Tanglewood, Fender and more.
- Ukuleles — we're particularly proud of our ukulele range. From bright, colourful soprano ukes perfect for beginners and kids, to concert, tenor, and bass ukuleles for more advanced players, we stock the best selection in the region.
- Bass Guitars — the backbone of every great band. We stock a solid range of bass guitars to keep your low end locked in.
- Brass & Woodwind — clarinets, flutes, trumpets, and more. Whether you're a student or a seasoned player, we can help.

We work on a wide range of instruments and pride ourselves on getting things done properly — no rough edges, no cutting corners.
