Here you will find all sorts of things to do with guitars including the instrument itself, strings, and sheet music.

Apollo Music is a small music shop in the Grange shopping centre in Birkenhead. If you need…read moreanything music related, they can at least tell you where to find it even if they don't stock it. They seem to be heavy on stringed instruments, as seems to be the case with most music shops in the area. They are friendly and helpful, though, so even if you just want to ask a question about music they would probably be willing to offer advice or suggestions.

A small shop packed floor to ceiling with equipment, they sell everything from full drum kits to snares, cymbals, pedals, bass pads, drum sticks, heads, stools and percussion. Prices are reasonable and they stock most of the leading brands from Gretsch, Pearl and CD Drums to Noble & Cooley. If you're just starting out, they also offer one to one lessons from £25. There's a choice of different tutors for different styles including China Crisis drummer Chris Philips and Aretha Franklin session player Roy Martin. Handily, they also repair drums on site and promote emerging drummers through the Young Drummer of The Month on their website and social networking sites. Ultimately, the thing that distinguishes Adc Drums for other music shops in the area however, is the friendliness of the staff and their school-boy humour.

This place gets a mention for the sheer breadth of the range of gear in stock - guitars, keyboards,…read moreschool orchestral, dj and mixing gear etc - and the fact that I've never had a salesperson breathing down my neck, no matter how long I've spent browsing around the store (even though I've probably looked like a shoplifter on the prowl). The keyword here, is 'relaxed'. You feel welcome in the place, and when you do ask for info or advice, they're happy to give it - without trying to hang a sale on it. An excellent cutting-edge hi-tech section too, for those into the potential of Macs and PCs, using Pro-Tools, Cubase or suchlike. All of our son's keyboards have been bought from this shop, from when he started off at home to the gear he's used gigging live. We like the fact that the store is trustworthy, and you're never going to get ripped off - and that we have an actual person to deal with should a problem arise. Something to bear in mind before committing to a maybe a cheaper online deal, from a shop without any actual physical presence (such as Thomann) just to save a few quid.

At the moment they run their business purely as an online shop selling new instruments but if you ask nicely, they might let you go to their warehouse and look at the stock in person. All the instruments they sell are brand new and they stock both fibreglass and copper timpani. If you're after something in particular and can't afford it, it might be worth dropping hints to your friends and family that Jam Percussion sell gift vouchers!

Good quality and good service is what i have recieved i dont really care how the guitar was purchased by him now that i have it. I later discovered via the internet that my guitar sold on ebay for more than 4 times what i payed for it so im very happy.

There were a few other items here such as a violin and a trombone but it is a pretty limited selection. I think the speciality is repairs and tuning rather than the selling but you have a pretty small window of opportunity to find out when the store opening is limited to Tue - Fri 10 til 5.30 and only 10 til 1 on saturday.

The name isn't accurate as it…read moreactually not only sells woodwind instruments but it also sells string and brass instruments as well!! They also have a good range of sheet music available and will order anything in if they don't have it. They have a good range of instruments on sale such as Violins, Flutes, Oboes, Saxophones and Clarinets. The instruments are available to buy outright or there is the option of organising a 0% finance scheme to pay for the instrument over 12 months. Instruments can also be rented for as little as £9.95 a month. The staff are friendly and very helpful. They are very knowledgeable about the instruments they sell. They are able to suggest an instrument appropriate for the level and age of the player and they do not push you to get the most expensive models. They can advise you on anything additional that needs to go with the instruments such as reeds and again they are very knowledgeable about the appropriate item to go with the instruments. This is an excellent specialist store. A great place for anyone whose children are starting to play an instrument.
