Shop
Our local instrument shop is Windstruments at Crossflatts.
Windstruments started in 1994 as a woodwind and brass instrument repair company. Since then we have expanded into one of the largest stockists of musical instruments in the UK adding a branch in Harrogate, known as Music House, as well as Bingley.
