36 Park Street,
Hobgoblin Music has been in Bristol since the 1990s, and moved to the current location halfway up Park Street in 2010. Serving Bristol, Bath, Portishead, Weston Super Mare and the surrounding areas, our regular customers come from all over the South West of England and South Wales to browse our unique range of new and secondhand acoustic musical instruments and accessories.
Each of our branches has its own specialities, and in Bristol the big thing is Bluegrass and Oldtime music – we have a fantastic range of National guitars and other resonators, Kentucky, Eastman, Ashbury, Washburn and Sigma mandolins, new and secondhand banjos, and more, alongside D’Addario and Ernie Ball guitar strings, acoustic, classical, resonator and flamenco guitars by Cort, Cordoba, Blueridge, Eastman, Ashbury and Regal, tongue drums, bodhrans, cajons, accordions, bouzoukis, with an ever changing range of unique second hand instruments.
We do repairs, restrings, setups and valuations in the shop - get in touch to find out how we can help you with your musical instrument.
The shop is easy to find, half way up Bristol’s famous Park Street and a 5 minute walk from Trenchard Street car park. Further carparks and meters are close by, and Park Street is served by multiple bus routes. Temple Meads train station is a 20 minute walk away, or short bus ride.

We do repairs! We carry out some instrument repair work on site, and can also send instruments to specialist repairers for more complicated work. Repair work undertaken includes ukulele, bouzouki, mandolin and guitar setups and restringing, accordion, melodeon and concertina tuning and repairs, woodwind and brass repairs and maintenance, specialist violin set ups and repairs, bridge and peg fitting, bow rehairs, banjo or drum skin replacement, and much more besides – contact us for information or bring in your instrument for a free, no-obligation quote.
If you're looking to sell a musical instrument then get in touch to see what we can offer you. We buy some instruments outright if the price is right, and we'll consider a trade-in for almost any instrument. We also take lots of instruments on a commission basis, and we're particularly keen to stock instruments by local luthiers and makers. Bring in your unwanted guitars, ukuleles, banjos, concertinas, melodeons, accordions, flutes, woodwind and brass instruments, violins, keyboards and more, and we'll see what we can do for you! If your instrument is bulky or you would need to travel a fair way to get to us, please do contact us by email or phone first so we can let you know whether it's worth bringing in.
We are often able to offer short or long term musical instrument rentals for various types of instrument. If you would like to rent a musical instrument from us, please get in touch to find out how we can help.
There are many teachers listed on our site that specialise in a range of instruments including: Free Reed, Frets, Guitar, Percussion, Piano, Strings, Vocal and Woodwind.
Our aim is to be the friendliest music shop in Bristol! Whether you're buying your first instrument, upgrading, or just having a look to see what's out there, we'll be on hand with expert advice and all the parts and accessories you need to keep your instrument on the road.
