We also have a great range of Kala and Mahalo ukuleles, as well as violins, violas, cellos, drums, brass and woodwind instruments, too.
What sets Pat’s apart from other stores? Pat’s Music is a family owned business, with a friendly group of staff who are always keen to help, whether you’re buying your first guitar to begin learning or you’re looking for the guitar you want to take with you on tour. Pat’s is an all-round music store and provide great, high-quality brands, no matter what instrument you play, whether that be piano, guitar, percussion, brass, wind or strings.
If you could only own one guitar in your shop, what would it be? The Maton EM100 Messiah. Praise the lord.
What model would you recommend for a beginner and why? Most beginners start with a nylon string classical guitar because it’s much easier on your fingers while you’re developing your playing technique. However, if you don’t see yourself playing a classical guitar, we stock plenty of suitable entry-level steel string and classical guitars.
What’s the most valuable tool a guitarist can have? Patience, discipline, inspiration and most importantly, a guitar, are equally important.
