Musical Instrument Shops and DJ Gear
Sheargolds opposite the cinema. Only sells decent pianos. Everything else is kinda shitty..
sheargolds, opposite cinema, go buy a piano
Dawkes, slightly further away from center, go here for other instruments
opposit the cinema is a lill shop.
Sheargold by the cinema although some advice, very pretentious in here and the service is poor and not very accommodating.
Hooters in Windsor
Remember the old Sound of Music in the Bishop Centre, Taplow? It used to sell mainly organs. Well it's now been taken over, re-christened Mr Music, and now it's full of guitars, digital pianos, keyboards, music books and even some drums and accessories. I don't know of a better music shop for miles around. The guys are really helpful too.
cdreeves.co.uk is an online music shop based in Maidenhead. The prices are good for the chart stuff and they specialise in helping unsigned bands and small labels sell their stuff. Really trying to help the new music scene.
woodwinds
JUST WOODWIND in queen st provide excellent tuition for all ages in saxaphone, flute and clarinet. The lessons are taught to each individual's taste.Danny hosts a jamming session on sunday evenings in the basement,all ages welcome, he has also produced a book and CD of his own compositions which is well worth enquiring about,if you want an insight into his fabulous individual style of jazz.
slough
Music machine
Just Woodwind is great - a really atmospheric basement that gets kind of busy sometimes on a Sat morning. Good instruments, good lessons, hot sax and cool people!
erm- dawkes and sheargolds(yr 2001)
Even The Cult/Big Country's Mark Brezezki used to hang out in Music Machine (as did Wire Jesus and National Disorder). Long live Dave - and thanks for all the good times.
Music Machine re-opened but it has only got about 3 guitars in it.
Used to be a great one in King Street.
They used to have one which thrived during the 'Grunge' movement of 1992, but has since stopped trading.
We all mourn the loss of Music Machine, even if Dave never actually had anything in stock.
Just Woodwind is good (Queen St) but is difficult to find and has weird opening times

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!
In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor
(the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.
We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!
If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.
If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
