Ackerman Music

Ackerman music seems to be something of a hub of the Brighton classical, Jazz and academic music tuition scene. It’s no real surprise as despite being quite a musically diverse city Brighton’s music shops have a tendency to be very guitar orientated. Ackerman Music is all about brass, string and wood wind though. They recently won Printed music retailer of the year award and they stock a good range of instruments too. The string side of things suffers a little from the student instrument approach though with brands like Stentor being at the fore of their stock. This is often to be expected of a shop of this nature though as higher end string instruments are expensive and carrying a stock of such a high value can be financially dangerous to smaller shops.
In terms of service it’s hard to fault Ackerman’s, the staff is happy to answer any questions you may have and they can point you in the right direction of a specialist for anything that they are unable to attend to themselves. They do seem to cater to pretty much all potential needs though. They can do a great deal of repairs on site, they have a rental facility and of course they sell instruments, music and accessories.
