Going to Edinburgh for the weekend.
Is there any music shop you would recommend? The kind of place with the secret mouthpiece drawer or the rusty unknown horn.
Thanks in advance
If you can be bothered with the huge number of steps from the back of the castle down to Johnson Terrace you will be rewarded with some nice "jazz" cafe's, walk down toward Kingstables and there is a music shop who's name escapes me where I bought my Takamine guitar. Other than that enjoy a fantastic city, I never grow tired of exploring it.
I spent a pleasant enough hour in Mev Taylors shop a couple of years ago looking for a sop mouthpiece - http://www.mevtaylors.co.uk/sax.htm
Not a huge shop but a respectable range of products, and from what I was told at the time pretty much the only place in Edinburgh that would come anywhere near supplying decent sax gear.
Mev Taylors was interesting. I did not have too much time though. A couple of old Buescher alto pieces (smelling of hell) and a SH JK (I did not investigate)How were the sax shops?
Mev Taylors was interesting. )
£40 for a second hand Sharkbite mouthpiece that costs £27 NEW?
