Customer review!
"The Danelectro DC59 Hollow body is a light 12 string guitar. I found the action to be brilliant, and found it particularly easy to bend the strings in comparison to other 12 string guitars I have played, The hollowed body produces a nice reverb, akin to the sounds you hear on classic Beatles tracks: `Ticket to Ride` and `A Hard Day’s Night`."

We are starting guitar tuition in store this Sunday. If you, or anyone you know wants to learn to play guitar, send an email to: grant.octavemusic@outlook.com or phone us on: 01582 601117
There are only a few spaces available, so get in touch ASAP.

Wonderful and helpful service today, helping me chose an electric guitar and practice amp. No pressure sales with friendly advice and lots of encouragement. Will definitely return in future. 5 stars and 6 if I could !

Very proud moment ...



So this time last year I decided that I wanted to start learning piano �. For a 101 reasons I never got around to buying a keyboard to start.



Today I said no more excuses !!! I went to Octave Music in Dunstable, met the owner Russell and I have just purchased a Yamaha to get me going. He was so helpful and inspiring ... awesome guy who is also a Christian ..great story of faith and for me, it just felt like a sign that it’s the right time to start learning.



Who knows where this will lead !!! But I’m excited to see where this will go !!



P.S Russell sorry for spilling my tuna melt on your floor and thanks again.

Russel and the his staff have a huge advantage over virtually every other Music Instrument shop, they are professional musicians. So am I!! When I play I need to know that what I have in hands, amplifying my sound etc, is going to work. This shop is recommended to all of my Guitar Students, in schools and in private tuition. Simply put, great instruments and equipment, great prices and amazing trusted service.

Popped in to buy some monitor speakers and was looked after by the staff. Great shop for all your music needs knowledgeable and friendly. Also started learning guitar with grant who is a fab teacher with bags of experience in teaching. Well done octave this is the only place if you want excellent service and professional staff.

Octave is a fantastic shop that’s been around a long time for good reason. Russ is great and really knows his stuff.

I’m a guitar tutor and was looking for a reasonably priced guitar for my lessons and Russell recommended a C40. It was a brilliant recommendation.

I’ve been shopping at Octave for years and have always been given great advice.

If you need help finding music, or help selecting the most appropriate instrument for you to learn and play, go to Octave Music in Dunstable. Russell and his team are very friendly and helpful. A gem of a music store.

I wanted a digital piano, but had a tight budget. Russell recommended two that he had in stock and the one I bought was everything I was looking for. I have been playing the piano for many years, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it in this little shop! To top it off, I experienced very friendly, professional and helpful service. Definitely recommend, 100%! Well done, Octave!

I bought my uke from Octave in Dunstable last January. Since then it developed a buzzing C string. Took it back to the shop today expecting at the very best for it to be sent away for repair. Instead I have been given a brand new one, identical to the old one!

Fantastic customer service.

Great service. Russel is not only very friendly and personable but highly knowedgeable about the music industry. Purchased a Yamaha keyboard. Very pleased with the product and the support/delivery provided by Octave Music. Store has a wide variety of instruments, sheet music accessories etc. Thoroughly recommend this business

Got a guitar from here about 4 years ago and its still going strong. Wide range of guitars at great prices.

Excellent shop with really friendly and knowledgeable staff

Always a friendly welcome combined with good product knowledge.
