The shop with a tech at the bench.

Play Music Inc. is a neighbourhood instrument shop on Kingsway — guitars and instruments out front, and a full-time guitar tech doing setups and repairs in-house, not shipped out for weeks. Bring it in; we make it play.

In-house repair bench New & used instruments Friendly local advice

01 / The bench, in-house

Most shops ship your repair out. We do it here.

The reason to walk into Play Music isn't only the wall of instruments — it's the bench behind it. A full-time guitar tech handles setups, restrings, fret work and electronics on-site, so your instrument comes back playing right in days, not weeks. You talk to the person who actually does the work.

04 / Lessons

Learn to play, around the corner.

A neighbourhood shop is where a lot of players start. If Play Music runs or hosts lessons, this is where we'd put the schedule, the instructors and a simple way to sign up.

› Guitar & bass — beginner to intermediate
› Other instruments as the shop offers them
› Drop-in restring-and-learn-a-song afternoons

Placeholder section — owner to confirm whether lessons are offered and the details. Nothing here is a commitment until you say so.
