Piano Traders

Piano Traders have been around for decades. As the name implies they specialise in pianos and other such musical instruments including guitars, keyboards, and basic wind instruments.
Piano Traders also stock a seemingly infinite amount of sheet music — anything from Beethoven, Bach and beginners scales to contemporary easy listening music, Piano Traders has it all.
Not just used by the general public, Piano Traders is also the one stop shop for music teachers.
When I was learning the flute, we used to visit Piano Traders to check out their sheet music and I was always so impressed by the beautiful baby grand pianos — oh how I wish I had learned to play them instead!!!
The staff are all really passionate about music, and are musicians themselves which makes any advice they give you seem really relevant and genuine. It’s so nice to talk to people who actually know what they’re on about!
Bonus: Located on Mt Eden Road, halfway between the Village and Symonds St, there’s plenty of free on street parking readily available.

I don’t know a heck of a lot about pianos (would love to learn one day), but despite the name this store is much more than just pianos. They sell other instruments as well like keyboards, guitars, ukuleles, violins, and other small music related devices that you might need (metronomes, guitar strings etc.).
What I like about this place is the large selection of books and DVD’s that they stock. It’s almost like a mini library in the side section of the store. You can get tablature books, print music, full band/​album works, as well as numerous lesson books and DVD’s. Everything you might want in order to learn an instrument, or improve your skills.
