Over the last 160 years we have retailed virtually all musical products from Wireless Sets and Gramophones before the first world war for around 10 guineas, vertical and overstrung pianos for between 30 and 40 guineas in the twenties, Pathescope home cinema movie cameras in the fifties for £6:15:0. We now sell over 15,000 stock lines, from reeds and strings, to brass and woodwind, a huge stock of printed music, both electric and acoustic guitars and electronic and acoustic pianos. Indeed it could be said there are few music shops in the UK with such a large and diverse stock. We have been offering the best prices on the top products to the general public since 1854; we are a family run business that has been operating for 160 years. Unlike our competitors we do not offer a price promise, because we have done your homework for you. You can choose products from this online catalogue, knowing that you are getting the best possible price in the market place today.

Excellent service, item well packaged and arrived very quickly.
I bought a Yamaha FG3 from them
I bought a Yamaha FG3 from them. They offered an excellent price and they delivered it next day, which I was very impressed by (I placed my order around 12pm and recieved it at 3pm the next day!). The guitar was well packaged, new, and pristine on arrival. There were no issues with its action or how it was set up. I would highly recommend ordering from them!
I come about this company by accident
I come about this company by accident, generally searching for a high end compact speaker cab for my guitar rig and found great praise and reviews on the Phil Jones Bass compact 2 C2 2x5 bass cab and Mann's Music came up in my search as having them available for immediate dispatch at a great price. I took the gamble on this company I've not come across to provide themselves. Can't fault them. Great product, service at a very competitive price. On the top of my search now for future gear. The PJB bass 2x5 bass cab exceeded my expectations and works wonderful in my guitar setup. Thanks a bunch Mann's Music 5/5

I bought a Tenor Banjo from them
I bought a Tenor Banjo from them, the banjo arrived but was not as described. That was down to the manufacturer not advertising a change to the spec. I decided not to keep the Banjo, Manns music arranged the pickup and refund, they were very helpful and a pleasure to deal with and would not hesitate to purchase from them in the future.
I bought my first classical guitar from…
I bought my first classical guitar from Mann's music. I also bought a matching hard case. The price was good and the delivery was prompt. Trouble was that the guitar came with 3 broken strings. Not sure why, maybe in transit but seems unlikely. Anyway, after a phone call I was sent a replacement set of strings.
Helpful
Very helpful in providing the weight of a guitar, and quick to reply to queries. Quick shipping and very competitive pricing too.
Excellent Service
I can't fault this company. Placed my order in the afternoon, and all items were delivered the following day. Their service and value for money are excellent. I would have no hesitation in using this company again.
This was my first purchase from Manns
This was my first purchase from Manns. The price was unbeatable and the guitar matched the description perfectly. The fast and efficient service and delivery was top notch and very impressive. Well done Mann's, I'm a very happy customer and have recommended you to all my friends.
Great Experience
Bought a lovely Telecaster from Mann's Music. Much cheaper than anywhere else, arrived on time, and communication was good throughout. Overall, had a great experience and will definitely shop with them again.
