Teign Music: Teignmouth’s Independent Instrument Specialist

Teign Music has operated as an independent musical instrument retailer in Teignmouth since 2007. Located at Carlton Place, the shop maintains a substantial inventory that addresses the requirements of players at all stages, contributing to the area’s active musical community.

Guitars form a core part of the stock, with over 150 instruments available. These include acoustic, electric, bass, and classical models, alongside travel guitars, children’s sizes, 12-string, and occasional specialist variants. A variety of brands features prominently, such as Fender, Squier, Tanglewood, Cort, PRS SE, Faith, and Vintage.

The selection extends beyond guitars to encompass other stringed instruments, including violins, banjos, mandolins, bouzoukis, and cellos. Ukuleles exceed 50 in number, covering soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone types, some equipped with electronics. Brass and woodwind options include saxophones, clarinets, flutes, trumpets, and recorders from makers like Jupiter and Trevor James.

Amplification covers transistor, valve, and modelling units, alongside PA systems, microphones, and effects pedals. Keyboards and digital pianos complement the range, while percussion occupies an upstairs drum room stocked with kits, cajons, cymbals, and associated items from brands including Pearl and Meinl.

Accessories remain comprehensive, incorporating tuners, straps, stands, cables, capos, reeds, cleaning products, and strings for most instruments. Sheet music caters to graded examinations, learning materials, and more advanced pieces across various instruments.

A practice room at the rear provides space to trial ukuleles, keyboards, pianos, and PA equipment. This facility, together with the overall layout, supports unhurried exploration.

Repairs and set-ups are carried out, with most work managed in-house or through established specialists. Instruments needing attention can be assessed, and adjustments made to restore playability. Items not immediately available are sourced through suppliers.

The team offers informed assistance drawn from decades of collective experience in the trade. Guidance covers instrument selection, sizing, and maintenance without imposing pressure. Teign Music rates highly with many reviews, reflecting consistent approval of the service, expertise, and welcoming approach provided.
