I purchased an Irish bouzouki case from Hobgoblin in the USA several months ago, so when I realized I could visit the store for real while in Birmingham, I went! They have a fantastic selection of folk instruments to try, including Irish bouzouki (several varieties), Irish citern, mountain dulcimers (for the lap and also a stick one, and "walking" style that can be played standing up), Turkish ouds, mandolins, accordions, concertinas, all kinds of guitars, violins, cellos, music, strings, cases, cords and plugs and things like that, harmonicas, flutes, clarinets, etc etc, you name it! And not only are the employees super friendly, but the other customers are helpful as well! I love my new mandolin, and feel like I made some new friends in the process! ❤️
Huge thanks to Dot who serviced my clarinet. It’s now as good as new after not being played for a decade, and all for a very reasonable price.
I visited there on 17.02.25 mid-afternoon. Good selection of instruments and accessories. The only reason I gave it a four instead of a five was the service. I was waiting at the till for a while despite there being someone there. Once I was eventually served, small things such as a smile would have gone a long way. I didn't get the impression the server really wanted to be there. I'm sure everyone else working there gives better service so will definitely go back.
Difficult to find. Staff very helpful and let you have a shot at the accordions. Also did a demo. Husband thought a reasonable stock.
Great selection of instruments and really knowledgable staff.
Excellent customer service and detailed knowledge of the instruments they sell Excellent people.
Some years ago I was looking for a new mandoiin. It is of course important to try an instrument, because simply reading the specification gives you only half the story. I tried a very nice one in the Hobgoblin shop in Birmingham, by playing Gardebylaten (sorry, I can't do the Swedish accidentals on my computer) because it is a tune we use frequently in morris dancing. The woman behind the counter immediately asked, in Swedish, if I was Swedish. Well, no, I'm Welsh, but I was very impressed with her interest in what I was doing. Full marks to her and to Hobgoblin Birmingham.
