Nice Electronic Organ

Years and years since played an Organ. I used to play at Holiday resorts and endless Clubs for Cabaret and dancing. PX'd a modern keyboard I'd had enough of for a Technics Organ I estimate manufacture at about 1991. Delighted with instrument and the amazingly careful delivery guys. May 2025. Staffordshire.

Stay clear of Music Direct

I am extremely disappointed in the manner i have been treated by Music Direct. I am still owed my funds from the part exchange of my saxophone. £1,000 is yet to be returned. Peter Braid has not answered any of my latest correspondences on this issue. Peter is not in the UK and he won't explain why he sold me a saxophone which was not what he advertised online. I feel totally swindled by Peter. Being so disgusted with my dealings with Music Direct, I would advise others to stay clear if the company is ever operational again.

Thoroughly straight up service

Purchased my first organ off Peter around thirty years ago and have purchased one a couple of weeks ago.Always found Peter to have a great knowledge of the products in the store and nothing is to much trouble to ensure you are happy with your purchase.Would have no problem recommending Music Direct to anyone wishing to purchase any form of instrument.

Excellent, no reservations

Can't recommend Musicdirect highly enough. Both Peter and Andre were most helpful and spent the whole morning with me demonstrating the Yamaha AR-100 organ. They then spent a Sunday delivering it to Devon, and carrying it upstairs. I'm highly delighted with the organ but I know if I had a problem I could ring them for help. Thanks to both of them for all their help.

The item packaging was damaged when I received it. The plastic case for the fender custom shop pickups was broken. Couldn't find the pieces in the box so this may have been sent out with damage already done. As these cost €400 I thought they might have been sent in pristine condition. Such a shame as everything else went smoothly.

Just realised I reviewed the wrong shop...These guys were great...excellent service...delivered to the door after shop had closed. Apologies to Music direct. 5 stars!!!

Dear Sir , I think you may have got us confused with another shop, as we don't have any record of selling this guitar to you. Our records show that you purchased a Farida from us.

My first choice for music

I bought my first guitar from Music Direct. The expert staff really took the time playing and elaborating on the wide variety of guitars on display so I could choose the one to suit my needs and budget. I bought a wonderful cutaway electro-acoustic with a whiskey barrel gloss finish which is now my pride and joy. They are musicians with a passion for what they do and are always on hand to help with questions or tweaks and repairs to your instrument. They offer exemplary tuition as well and I've come leaps and bounds since going to the shop for regular lessons. I'm so glad I went in and I know you will be too.

Piano

Very helpful and knowledgable. Had a set budget for purchase of piano and did not feel pressured to buy (which is not always the case, I have found, in my search for a piano). Having the option to have it delivered was fantastic as this can be quite stressful and costly to arrange for big items. Would definately recommend . My daughter loves her piano. Many thanks.
