Schallter Audio & Records Vienna

Rummaging through music

Zina from Vienna

I am an architect by day and a theater enthusiast by night. And on the weekends, I am a translator. I don’t know how, but I still manage to have enough spare time to travel and enjoy walking my dog, going to concerts, hiking, or just exploring the city. I am from Sarajevo and moved to Vienna in 2017. I moved because of a funny feeling called “Fernweh” (wanderlust) in German. And since I used to li...
""Schallter Audio & Records" in Vienna is a very organized music store where I bought my first record here. They even sell spare parts for record players..."

After moving to Vienna, I joined a gym in the 7th district. It wasn’t close to where I lived, but I liked the program, and the price was good. This gym membership led to new friendships and me stumbling into my first record store in Vienna because it is just down the street from it. Of course, this is also where I bought my first record in Vienna – on that first day.

Most small record stores don’t have proper store displays, only a couple of posters or records. This one has big glass fronts and attracted me with record players, books and, of course, records. It is a small store, so I don’t know how everything fits in there, but it does. The name is actually a combination of the words “Schall” (sound, noise) and “Schalter” (switch). They are very organized and have a very good selection of new and used records and CDs. You can also find different books about musicians, records, etc.

If you have a record player, they can sell you spare parts and advise you on how to fix them. The staff is incredibly friendly and will always give kudos for good music taste. Just spend some time there and rummage through the records – I’m sure you’ll find something.

Vienna Spotter Zina

I am an architect by day and a theater enthusiast by night. And on the weekends, I am a translator. I don’t know how, but I still manage to have enough spare time to travel and enjoy walking my dog, going to concerts, hiking, or just exploring the city. I am from Sarajevo and moved to Vienna in 2017. I moved because of a funny feeling called “Fernweh” (wanderlust) in German. And since I used to live in Austria as a kid (during the war in ex-Yugoslavia), I already spoke German and it was familiar to me. I call my favorite hobby “free therapy” – i.e., my theater group. Whatever problems I might ...
