PMT

[Terry M.]

I was up in Cambridge from London a few months back and popped into their branch. Unfortunately it was a far from pleasant experience. Still feel it for all staff concerned nationwide however.

I have contemplated nicking one of the Aldi ones and figuring out how to drive it to make a display for some sort of project, but am both too honest and too lazy. 

 

In a box somewhere I have a basic phone with an e-paper display .

Wrong thread!

The PMT videos are back up on their YouTube channel. I've enjoyed them over the years so glad they're back. I don't think it means anything other than someone didn't want to lose the content so put them back up.

DV24 now in Germany

DV24 are still in Romford, just around the corner from PMT but DV24 are online only now. They seem to keep stock at Romford as well as Germany.

Although PMT has been my local music shop, I've tended towards Andertons or Thomann as they were generally more competitive.

Hobgoblin, the folk music chain have recently launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for their shops and are offering a 19% ownership share of the company through the raising of capital.

They are obviously feeling the pinch......

A staff member in DV247 when they closed to the public (Martin) in Romford managed to nab a position in PMT around the corner and now look.

I visited Hobgoblin in Brighton.

 

I used to visit their other stores in the past, this one felt a bit unwelcomingn staff just chatting to each other. I was in the mood to make medium spend (probably a replacement for my Marine Band harmonica... but even a s/h bouzouki if they had one) but with no engagement I just wandered back out.

But I should give a massive shoutbout to A Strings for being super-welcoming, no questions when I asked to try the AVII precision which was one of the more expensive basses in the shop. Offered tea and given loads of time. They even set it up for me while I was there. Yes I bought it... and it was on the wall at a better price than the online retailers.
