About Musical Instrument & Equipment Sales
Why I Do This
Music isn’t just business for me - it’s passion. I want every musician, from kids just starting out to gigging pros, to feel at home here. You walk in, pick up any instrument, and actually play it. No pressure, no hard selling - just music.
What You’ll Find
- Guitars, basses, and all the amps you can dream of, including top brands like Fender, Ibanez, Yamaha, Marshall.
- Acoustic and hand percussion - drum kits, cajons, tablas, djembes - for every beatmaker.
- Digital pianos, MIDI controllers, synths for producers and keyboard lovers.
- Indian classical instruments like veena, tanpura, and custom harmoniums.
- Pro audio equipment for home studio setups - microphones, mixers, wireless IEMs, speakers from Sennheiser, Shure, JBL.
How I’m Different
- Try before you buy instruments - pick up, play, decide. No rush.
- I’m running a non-commission music store India style, so advice comes honest, not salesy.
- Deals keep coming, sometimes better than what you see online. Brand combos, festival sales, you know - thoda jugad bhi hai (there’s a bit of smart hustle too).
Why Trust Me
I’m a musician too. I’ve built this place for us - for jam sessions, for beginners, for those looking to upgrade, for anyone who loves sound. Come by any of our Bangalore stores and check out what feels right for you.
