It is extremely important to us to keep staff and customers safe, so, in keeping with regulations and advice, we have a few safety measures in place.
We will be limiting customer numbers in the shop, so there may be a little bit of a wait.
We ask all customers to wear a face covering (over mouth and nose) unless exempt, avoid shopping in groups unless absolutely necessary, and to sanitise hands on arrival.
We are asking customers not to pick up instruments without checking with staff, as we need to keep track of which instruments have been played.
We have made sure all the shops are well ventilated, staff have face coverings, and we are providing hand sanitiser for customers to use on arrival. We may be able to provide you with a face covering if you are unable to bring your own.
Secondhand Purchasing: We definitely want to hear about any instruments you would like to sell - to make sure it is worth your time coming in, please email us details and photos before you travel. You don't need to wait for the shops to reopen to do contact us by email.
Repairs: We will be taking on repairs with a 3 day quarantine period before and after the repair to avoid any contamination.
Thank you to all of our customers for your patience, your amazing support over this challenging year, and for your kind understanding of the restrictions we will necessarily have in place when we reopen. See you soon!
