While looking for a electronic music production course in London, I did some research on the…read moreschools that I initially found on the web. 90% of them I immediately decided not to give a chance due to the lack of songs produced by their tutors. The other 10% were the expensive ones and after visting them I realised that they weren't worth the hype at all. When I was almost forgetting about the course, I saw Abstract Source's website and I could not believe that the guy that had produced all those amazing songs was giving lessons, specially with that price. I decided to meet him and I saw that I had finally found the place to be. It was definitely the best choice. I learnt so much things about music production in so little time. The classes were so much fun and full of information. It was a great experience learning and sharing the same passion which is electronic music. Now after finishing this course I can say that I made a really good friend and hopefully a future music partner!!

The technician…read moresaw it and said straight away the neck is defected and will need changing, told me to come back and he will see what he can do. On returning he completely forgot what he first said to me about the neck, instead told me it's absolutely fine, I just need to adjust the bridge to deal with the dead notes past 15 and said that all guitars fall out of tune. Took my guitar to another technician this week, he said the neck is completely done and it should have never been sold. Im out of my 1 year warranty now, so will have to go into my own pocket to buy a new neck. But be very careful with this company, especially the London branch. Don't trust them to give you sound advice if you're new, they might try and sell you defective instruments.

I was actually heading to another music store on Denmark Street when I stumbled onto Regent Sounds. There I was greeted by Nick Rob and Maya. They were so super helpful as I explained to them that I was looking for something slightly different, maybe a boutique guitar. They let me try several guitars through a variety of amps and pedals to help me find the right guitar. They also help me navigate shipping it back to NYC for a fairly inexpensive price. So let me just sum it up for you if you're looking to buy an instrument. Regents Sounds music store excels with its wide selection of high-quality of mainstream and boutique instruments and accessories, sure to captivate any music lover. The attentive service from Nick Rob and Maya elevates the shopping experience. Their pricing is competitive and I feel that also enhances the store's overall value, for me Regent Sounds remains a top choice for all music enthusiasts seeking top-notch products and service and I'm sure I'll be back on my next visit to London !

I really love this shop, more to look at guitars than purchase guitars. There are some beautiful, rare fenders with big price tags. The shop definitely specialises in high quality instruments. The only problem, which may not be a problem for everyone, is the fact that they don't sell acoustic guitars. The staff are great, and don't mind if you just want to browse.

You can tell just by looking into the front widow, that the selection of instruments available in the store is massive. Here you'll find new and second hand instruments at affordable prices. There are prelude alto saxophones that go for around £420 and classical guitars for £49. This is a great place to browse if you are untalented when it comes to music like me or for purchasing instruments for you or children.

This shop stands out in its location, as it is very close to the musical epicentre of Denmark St., but does not get lost in the main strip of music shops. There is a wide range of guitars, with an acoustic room down stairs, and an electric room up stairs. There is a wide range of percussion and various other music paraphernalia as well. I was looking for a trumpet mute for a Christmas present, and after trying a few other stores, I found it at Macari's. It's the little things like that which separate Macari's from the other stores.

Right now they are playing a 4.5-hour long adaptation of Wagner's "The Ring of the Nibelung" cycle. The original is a very intense, 15-hour-long German operatic epic that is performed over four nights. This is a much more digestible and family-friendly version of that, and it was done very well -- good writing, pacing, acting, production, all the more impressive because it's outdoor theatre where you inherently have less control of the environment. It's a very well-designed space. Acoustically, its below-street-level placement is an advantage because most of the noise from the street is drowned out, but it's not a very loud area anyway because there are no pubs/bars/restaurants in the immediate vicinity - you'll just occasionally be interrupted by an airplane overhead. The theatre can accommodate quite a lot of people, but the seats are stacked high enough as they go back, so that your view is never obscured by the person in front of you. They let you bring food and drinks (just no glass bottles) into the theatre, so pack a picnic and a few beers! It's not protected at all from the elements though, so if it rains you're kind of screwed. Also, at night it gets chilly, so bring a blanket and layers to put on.
