Your neighbourhood music shop.

Play Music Inc. is the kind of shop a neighbourhood is lucky to have: instruments out front, a full-time guitar tech at the bench out back, and someone who'll actually talk you through it. On Kingsway, in the heart of Renfrew-Collingwood.

Our shop

Where the block comes to play.

Some shops are showrooms. This one is a workroom. Play Music sits on Kingsway in Renfrew-Collingwood — guitars and instruments along the walls, gear on the shelves, and a bench at the back where a full-time tech keeps it all playing.

It's the shop you send a friend to for their first guitar, and the one you trust with the instrument you've had for twenty years. The difference is the same either way: a real person who knows the gear, and a repair bench right here in the shop.

“Bring it in, and we'll make it play. That's the whole idea.”
The repair bench

An in-house tech, not a courier ticket.

The thing that makes Play Music more than a shelf of instruments is the bench. Setups, restrings, fret work, nut and saddle, electronics — handled in-house, so you're never waiting weeks for a box to come back from somewhere else.
