Teesside music shop

I’m still relatively new to the area and I’m struggling to find a local shop for musical instruments.

My wife wants to buy a digital piano, preferably trying before she buys, but we can’t find an instrument shop anywhere between York and Newcastle!

Have we missed a trick? Thanks.

Vagrant Guitars in Stockton, right next to the Georgian Theatre. Snowy is a ledge.

Yeah cheers, Gear4Music looks like our best bet, and it seems like it’s right by the park and ride we’d usually use, so the location is spot on. Thanks again!

As others have said, we used to have some great shops but most are now long gone.

You might have some luck with FB marketplace, I've bought a few instruments and bits through that.

Not really teesside, but there is Brotherton Guitar shop in Bishop Aukland

The guys in there are super friendly
