Nottingham Drum & Guitar Centre

This shop is a real haven for guitar players and drummers. Electric guitars and bass guitars in one area, a beautifully relaxed acoustic instrument area where you can have a sample play of a range of hollow bodied instruments, and as for the stock of percussion: I’ve never seen anything like it. There are drum shells, cymbals, drum sticks, cahons, TRAVEL cahons, studio, live and stadium shakers, and a section dedicated to Brazilian percussion.
My eyes are on a Squire Jazz bass and a beeeee-​yoo-​tee-​ful mango scented Eddy Finn tenor ukelele with the warmest sound ever. My hands are all aver the percussion, banging this, twanging that, and shaking everything.
My companion leaves with a guitar bag, a Shubb capo, and a guitar stand, all at good prices. I manage to resist the huge temptation of buying the tenor ukelele, even on the second visit to the shop later that day. And it’s a regret, as the shop price is cheaper than any price I can find on the internet.
Smiley, knowledgeable and freindly staff mean I’ll be back here soon when I’m next in Nottingham.
