Schalloch Hamburg

String instrument expertise

""Schalloch" in Hamburg is the music and string instrument shop I've trusted since forever. The owner is a knowledgeable man and a nice conversationalist..."

I love music! And I love people. The best is a combination of the two which can be found here: the experts for string instruments in town. All the guitars I ever bought I bought at this friendly place full of expertise from the shop owner who is a knowledgeable man and a nice conversationalist.

I can remember a time when I was sitting with him in front of his shop and discussing the changes in the world. It was a memorable experience to speak to someone like him who loves music, the arts and of course his instruments. I am pretty sure he would never sell a thing he wasn't convinced about. For my part, I hold my guitars dear for many years now and I would only go there for anything related to them.

They mostly sell guitars and basses but have harps and percussion as well, plus everything related to them and of course sheet music. So, if you are considering buying a string instrument and need professional and friendly advice: come here and have a chat about it.
