After second-hand synths in London

October 24, 2007 5:28 AM

Where can I buy myself a lovely second-hand analogue synth in London? It's my birthday, I'm alone, the only way out is to buy a new instrument as a present to myself. Nothing TOO expensive - I'm thinking a Juno 106 or something. Is there any shop that might stock one?

So let me say I’ve never been to London. But I do work with a guy in the musical instrument trade who has been to London a lot. And as it’s your birthday I figured even third hand knowledge was better than nothing.

Lots of used stuff @

Tune Inn
124-126 St. Mildreds Road, London

Also lots of older musical and electronic gear at one of the many Musical Exchanges around Notting Hill Gate tube. If they're still there; I left town a couple of years ago.

It's probably worth having a sniff round Denmark Street (off Charing Cross Road). There's loads of musical instrument shops round there (although they're mostly new, rather than second hand). Even if they don't have the kind of stuff you're looking for, I'm sure someone there would be able to point you in the right direction.

Oh, and Happy Birthday!
