Hi there,
I am visiting london and birmingham in early june and was wondering if there was any good music shops around these locations so that i can try trumpets and mouthpieces. Are there anyone i can find too?
Thanks! |

Hi,
Phil Parker's in Crawford Street W1 (near Baker St tube station). They usually have near a full range of Schilkes, Conn V1 and Kanstuls plus a selection of trade-in and consignment horns. Give them a call before you go to see what they've got (phone number 020 7486 8206 e-mail sales@philparker.co.uk)Very pleasant guys to chat to as well.
Regards
Trevor

I will 3rd the recommendation. Also, Luton where eclipse are located is in Luton on the road or rail between London and Birmingham so you might be able to plan to visit them en route. I also know a good shop in Canterbury (about 1 hour south of London) and probably would have a couple of good second hand horns myself, as might my teacher who also does repairs and renovations. Feel free to mail me closer to the time and I'll find out what Gerrys stock is and let you know if there's anything that may be worth a visit.

Oh, you must visit Leigh's shop in Dunstable (between Dunstable and Luton... check his website and plug the address into your Yahoo.co.uk maps). You won't be the same after.
