I am not bias but PMT has always been a cool place to visit & buy from. Yeah on line may save a bob or two but you miss out on the bedside manner BIG time. Always worth trying before buying & taking in advice from PMTs Expert Team!
Yeah, its good... Good prices, nice staff, reliable and well stocked. Could do with someone in the drum room though...
Great music shop staff are always helpful and accommodate your needs. Jeff is an extremely nice guy and great to be served by him. See you guys soon.
Very helpful staff. Got exactly what we wanted and they price matched without us even asking. Highly recommended.
I’m sorry to say I had a really negative experience here. I was in the market for a new guitar and had never been to this particular store. Initially no one had any time for me. The guy tasked with helping me was clearly too busy and I felt I was just bothering him. The small talk was forced and awkward. I didn’t make a purchase and left feeling the whole thing was a waste of time. I went to Pmt Oxford the following weekend and it was the total opposite. Friendly and extremely helpful. Answered all my questions and I bought sweet classical guitar. It’s a real shame to have two polar opposite experience from the same chain of stores. I wouldn’t say don’t make a purchase here but won’t be coming here again.
This is the place to go if you want to touch and feel and hear the guitar . A great selection. Ive purchased a couple now and Ive always found them very supportive in aiding you finding the right guitar for your budget.
Service is excellent, staff are really helpful and it has a great range of equipment on the shelf. They have a studio for trialing equipment before you buy and they are super helpful at setting it up with you. The prices are really good and arguably competitive with internet prices with much better customer service.
Brilliant. Needed advice, they were patient and I ended up with exactly what I needed. Highly recommended.
So helpful, no pressure sale, really made our son feel special choosing his birthday present. They couldnt do enough for him. He hasnt put the guitar down since we got home!
I went there looking for a mixer. I didnt have a clue what I wanted, gave Geoff who worked there a very vague picture of what I wanted and told him I desperately needed something the next day. He could of pick the dearest item as I was desperate, but he showed me 2 (both good quality) and explained the difference between them and why one was dearer, then he explained the lead I needed, again showing me two and the difference between them.I didnt buy it then and he was cool with it, but I came back and bought what I needed as it was such great customer service.I went away and tested it, couldnt get it to work with the head mike I had.Went back to the shop and spoke to the manager who without hesitation plug my mike up (which I didnt buy from them) with the mixer I bought and got it working.The best customer service Ive ever had.If I could give them 6 stars I would.
Not large, but packed with quality stock. Helpful and knowledgeable staff, plus keen pricing. Recommended.
Gretsch Black Falcon in for a set up where she enjoyed unbeatable talent from the wizard of a guitar tech and then I enjoyed the unbeatable price when I collected her! 👍
Really helpful, informed staff. No pressure selling, great recommendations and advice. Even check at the till that the products you buy are cheaper there than online and if not, price match there and then.
Big love to Jim for all his help with finding us a microphone today. We bought their own branded mic which only cost £20 so very happy with it as it seems like a sturdy mic with an elegant design. Incredible shop with a lot of great instruments to marvel at with a Covid system that just works. Bang bang
Super friendly and helpful staff. Weve just bought a bag for my grandsons guitar, but were definitely coming back to buy a new guitar soon.
I had a great experience at PMT today, the staff were extremely helpful and were able to sort out an issue I was having with my amp. Whilst I was there I checked out a few guitars (as you do) and had a lovely chat with the manager about PRS and Fender guitar necks.I also had a question about string gauges on my acoustic and very knowledgeable staff member was able to advise me appropriately. They also provided options of string life and asked my preference rather than trying to upsell like other stores might do.Buying things online can be easy, but you cant beat going to a store and getting advised by someone that knows what they are talking about, especially if they can put up with the nonsense of someone like me while doing it 😋
Too easy to spend money in there 😜 great service aswell
I love coming in here, the staff are very friendly and helpful, and they really know their instruments
All I can say is that the staff were very Welcoming and knowledgeable in the music fields, coming back into the store before the end of the month and probly at the end of every month till i have collected every single piece i need to set up . thank you so much For wonderful experience
Great shop...lovely staff...took my bass in for a set up..Id been trying for weeks to get it right...10 minutes in the hands of Heath and it was fixed but for a few minor settling adjustments...the guy is a genius in the black arts of guitar setup...thank you so much :-)
Great shop, full of great gear.
They helped me out with my pic problem and also had all the strings in stock that I needed. Thanks guys great job.
Helpful staff who take the time with you....Thanks guys!!
Brilliant and friendly staff, genuine down to earth people. Always have the customers best intentions at mind! By far one of the best music shops about and the range of gear they have/can get is insane!
If you are an artist or like to play instrument this is the best place to go. Lots of variety and very friendly staff.
Very helpful and knowledgeable brought a guitar for a good price cheaper than advertised price. If you want an instrument this is the place.
Great store, great staff. Alex was exceptionally helpful as we were choosing speakers for a karaoke system... Also offered a price match so we knew we were getting the best deal.
The best shop 😍
Great customer service, helped answer all my questions in depth as well as tell me more info about certain things too. Great Covid and social distancing measures whilst still being a easy straight forward experience. offered some great deals too!
Great local, friendly music shop! Highly recommended in the area 🎉 absolutely labyrinth of a music selection, and amazing staff!
Quality musical instruments and customer service
Super helpful, fantastic range of products but be warned. YOU WILL LEAVE HAVING SPENT MONEY. Great shop!!!
Wow. Excellent staff, very helpful. Made us feel welcome. Sharing their experiences to help me gain more skills. Big Thankyou.👍 Keep up the good work.
The staff could not have been more helpful. I will certainly visit the sop again
Brought my old guitar from the attic and it needed some TLC and this place puts it in very safe hands. Super friendly staff and happy to help anyway they can and went above and beyond with my service. Thanks so much for your help and I will definitely be a returning customer!
Good service with experienced staff
Good product range. Fair prices. Staff are miles better than those at my local Leeds Branch.Unfortunately, they didnt have any cymbal boxes or bags and insisted on charging me 5p for a regular carrier, despite spending best part of 700 quid in there... Otherwise, it would be 5 stars.
Very knowledgeable and friendly
Been to here 3 times now and every time Ive gone to the till Ive been ignored even when theres noone else to serve. Tried asking about the pedals and guitar straps but they only seem interested in people walking in to buy high price items. Couldnt even get served when waiting at the front of the till to buy stuff. Given up and going to the nottingham branch now.
Friendly staff who are willing to help. The staff have made me feel welcome the times I’ve visited.
Staff always willing to help. Let you try any guitar through any amp you like which is great. Never pushy for sales. Very friendly atmosphere.
Excellent, well-stocked with goodies and knowledgeable staff that know their onions.
What a diamond this store is. We are looking at some electric drums and Alex was awsome, my father in law has Alzhimers and he was brilliant with him, patient and courteous. Thank you and we will be back soon.
Lovely and helpful staff
Another successful visit and walking out with 2 new guitars was exactly what we wanted. Thanks again to Geoff for his very attentive service. Not seen my old friend since sixth form. Thanks again guys, no doubt we will be back in the new year.
Friendly staff and wide range of musical and audio equipment.
Good staff
Fantastic service,fantastic staff, bent over backwards for me, then again I did spend two and a half thousand pounds lol, well worth a visit.
Helpful staff love my new guitar
Went in 1st day after lockdown. Good bunch of guys. Really helpful.
Visited the Northampton store today to discuss what might be the right synth/midi keyboard for me. Spoke with Jim who was super knowledgeable, enthusiastic and non judgemental towards a newbie. Thanks Jim and Jeff for your help today. It’s nice to meet people with passion for the things they love and equally helpful to me that they want to share that passion. The store had all the correct COVID measures in place that were being followed. So don’t be put off visiting the store in Person. Cheers guys ! 👍🏻
Great branch of PMT here in Northampton. Friendly, knowledgeable staff who are hands off if you ask them to be but super helpful if you need it. Have to be honest, I sometimes like to come in and just noodle on all the synths I could never afford. And they never complain. Perfect :)
Shop that stock a good selection of music instruments and audio equipments. Staff offer a warm welcome to customers, offer good professional advice. Bought a PA system from here. Highly recommended.
Brill very helpful!
Excellent staff. Friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. This place is hard to beat!
They look after you in there very good service
Pretty much the only major music store in Northampton. The employees are nice and the prices great. The selection is also fantastic.
Great choice of guitars here but you will need a few quid. Their own range of guitars are called east coast and are good value for money. I needed to lower the action but thats just my preference. Theyre good coppies.
Very helpful staff. I bought my first guitar and they were very helpful and understanding that I was new to this instrument. They were very supportive when helping and suggesting payment option.
Great music shop. Almost anything you need for band or PA and very pleasant staff.Shops with this kind of service offering guitar/keyboards leads and accessories are becoming rare due to on line pressure but we need to keep them. So use this shop.
Great store, excellent staff. Always willing to help and advise. Great selection of gear for all musicians.
Staff need motivating. More training on PR rather than £££££. It may be a £200 keyboard this week. But could be a £2000 set up next year. It may be the only major music shop in town. But it’s not the only town !
All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
We came here to choose a guitar for our teenage son. He spent the best part of the day in a practice room trying out different instruments. The staff were really helpful - we were never put under pressure and they let him play as many guitars as he wanted. They even did us a really good deal on the price. You dont get that online... highly recommended.
Excellent service and knowledge of the subject matter. Great level of stock and nothing was to much trouble when you want to try instruments. Small staff car park that I was able to use otherwise it will be the pay and display at the end of the road. Cant wait to return.
Excellent shop full of guitars, basses, drums and keyboard, helped me get a good deal on a nice telecaster.
The best music shop Northamptons ever had? It certainly seems that way. If youre looking for a new guitar, chances are youll either find your ideal instrument hanging on the wall in here, or theyll be able to order it for you with a minimum of fuss. Such a contrast to a now-defunct music shop that used to be on Kettering Road (no names, no pack drill) whose owner saw fit to bar me because you spend too much time looking and not enough time buying - failing to take into account that musicians are generally skint and that the customer, however annoying, is always right.
A really cool music shop with loads of stock and the staff are very helpful friendly and knowledgeable.Not usually a fan of chain music stores but this ones different.The size of a chain with the personal and friendly service of a small independent..Very happy with this store, would definitely recommend to a friend..
Great shop but only because of the staff! When you purchase an item online, it may have belonged to someone else for 30days and isnt exactly new and unblemished. The Shops themselves tend to be great with very helpful staff who can talk you through a product and show you the pros and cons of something that you were thinking of buying! This is extremely important and helpful. Kudos!!
I came here to purchase a amp and trade one in.The guys in the store were polite, friendly and helpful. They gave me some great advice and I am happy very happy with what I bought and the service received.I normally go to Birmingham and the same applies to the team there.Nice to see PMT have great staff across the board.I will be back next year when I buy another amp or guitar!!
Lovely people and the girl was exceptionally kind to me even though I was using a walker. And told a joke.
Took my sons electric guitar here for small repair before Christmas. They thoroughly cleaned it as well as repair (thanks). Took it back as appeared to be a problem, turned out to be something simple son had overlooked which they rectified with no further charge. Knowledgable, friendly and helpful, thank you
I always get excellent service in PMT. Geoff is really knowledgeable and really nice guy to chat to.Good selection of gear as well!
Great place for all your musical equipment. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. We were given a practice room and plenty of time to try out a range of guitar amps. Great prices too.
They had lots of musical instruments but cold get what I wanted because the prices were on the high side
Went in for some advice, lovely guy provided it! Very helpful, thank you!
Always very helpful staff and will price match. Huge range of goodies ready to try and buy. Musician heaven.
Thoroughly recommend... Great range of kit, super friendly staff, decent prices.... Cant ask for more really...
Awesome shop and awesome staff. So helpful professional and friendly. Always recommend this shop!!!!!
Best guitar shop around 🎸
Surprisingly comprehensive selection of guitars and other instruments. Friendly but not too chummy staff who give you space. Fragrant demo room. Just a pity they didnt stock the spares I needed from keeping my P90s from falling out.
Extensive range, helpful and friendly staff, who are willing to ensure you are happy with your purchases.
Great friendly service, cant reccomend enough.
They convinced me to buy a better product at no extra cost. Fabulous service!
Has pretty much everything you could need. So many guitars, was like a kid in a sweet shop.
Good prices on instruments, Lovely layout. Tad too expensive on smaller items, for example effects pedals. Helpful staff
Loads of guitars, staff were helpful, bought a ukulele for the kid, shes well pleased with it
Great selection of guitars, electric and acoustic drums. I always end up finding something to buy. Friendly customer service
Came back in to buy some strings after laying off the guitar for five years. They still had my £25 credit in their old computer system. Well organised and honest.
The store, staff and presentation were all top notch. Staff were eager to help and assist with the things i needed, gave me advice and reccomendations as well as getting a second reference for prices around vs their own which i thought was an amazing thing they didnt need to do but went the extra yard. The quality of the guitars, gear and their availability is also second to none. Would definately reccomend this place!
Staff let us in to try instruments without even showing an interest in a purchase lol. Friendly atmosphere and incredible range of instruments.
A wide variety of guitars and accessories, really recommended to try a bunch of them. Staff very friendly and helpful
Loads of stock and the drum specialist was very helpful (although he has now moved on)
A lovely place to visit & good pubs too.
Good store with a good range of guitars, but once when i was with my boyfriend (who doesnt play guitar) a member of staff started talking to him, assuming i didnt play guitar and he did. So annoying and sexist!However, good place to try out guitars and (mostly) good customer service. Bravo!
Great range of guitars available, from stock, from Gibson & Epiphone, Fender and Squire to Gretch, Martin and many more. Friendly knowledgeable staff. HOWEVER, BE WARNED watch out for parking restrictions. I parked outside the pub next door, after 4pm on a Sunday - for 15 mins, mind - and got a 70 quid parking ticket!!!
Friendly, knowledgeable staff who are willing to help. Even assisted me when I returned a guitar I couldnt get on with. Ignore the bad reviews. Top place to go for your music needs
Super helpful and great service today replacing my sons guitar strings!! Thanks team!
