dajaphonics Posted September 6, 2009 at 02:53 AM Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 at 02:53 AM Any suggestions for good music shops? Particularly I'm looking for a weighted key portable piano and an acoustic guitar. Also if you know of anyone who gives lessons for piano I would be interested.

cui ruide Posted September 6, 2009 at 06:23 AM Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 at 06:23 AM There's a lot of music shops on Gulou Dong Dajie (鼓楼东大街)...but you can probably find msuic stores pretty much all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajaphonics Posted September 7, 2009 at 01:31 AM Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 at 01:31 AM Thanks for that tip. However, if anyone else needs a cheap guitar or er hu go down to Xinjiekou south. It seems to be a centralized music store area of Beijing.

tintin Posted December 26, 2010 at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 at 07:39 PM are acoustic guitars cheap in china? im trying to weigh up the options of either paying extra to bring my beloved one with me or just buy a cheap one and hope my "amazing" skills make a cheap one sounds ok lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gougou Posted December 27, 2010 at 01:42 AM Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 at 01:42 AM The cheapest ones probably will be around 100 kuai (I'm guessing here - I bought one for 300 once and that was not the cheapest). Obviously you get what you pay for, so they're barely worth the wood they're made of; if you want something usable, you should probably look at 500 kuai and above. The two areas mentioned above - Xinjiekou and Gulou, as well as Hepingmen in the South, each have clusters of shops that make browsing easy.

tintin Posted December 27, 2010 at 05:11 PM Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 at 05:11 PM aaah, okays then, in terms of chiese the cheapest I could by here in england was about 800, so maybe a 500 one would do me just fine when i move out then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisgee Posted January 14, 2011 at 05:54 PM Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 at 05:54 PM I recommend Xinjiekou Nan too. Got a pretty nice classical one for 400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
