Bolton Music Tuition

Booths Music Instruments

For many years, Booths Music has proudly supplied a wide range of Booths-branded instruments, trusted by students, parents, teachers, and schools alike. Drawing on over 190 years of experience in musical retail and aftercare, our own-brand instruments have always been carefully selected to offer reliability, playability, and excellent value for developing musicians. 

While our brass and woodwind Booths instruments are currently out of stock, we continue to stock and support a strong range of Booths violins, intermediate violins, and our advanced William Davy range violins, alongside Booths classical guitars in a variety of sizes to suit younger players through to adults. These instruments remain a popular choice for beginners and progressing students alike.

Post-Manufacture Workshop Check

As these are our own branded instruments, we take great pride in ensuring every one leaves the shop fully playable and ready to enjoy. Each instrument is carefully checked before sale, and our experienced team is always on hand to offer advice on sizing, care, and progression. Should you ever experience any issues, our in-house workshop is here to look after your instrument and keep it performing at its best.

All Booths Music instruments pass through our workshop for a thorough post-manufacture check before being offered for sale. This process ensures the instrument is comfortable to play and correctly set up from day one.

For example, Booths violins are carefully prepared with bridges and top nuts set and cut to optimal heights and positions, pegs checked for smooth and reliable tuning, strings pre-tensioned, and fingerboard inlays added to assist with accurate intonation. The same level of care and attention is applied across our range of Booths instruments, ensuring consistent quality and playability.

Ongoing Care & Support

When you purchase a Booths Music instrument, you’re not just buying the instrument itself—you’re benefiting from the knowledge, support, and aftercare that come with shopping at a long-established music retailer. Our workshop team is available should your instrument need adjustment, servicing, or general advice, helping it remain in great condition as you progress.

GUITARS

Discover our Booths range of student classical guitars. Great care and effort has been put into sourcing  these already fine instruments, but like all student instruments the final attention to detail is massively instrumental to releasing the instrument’s full potential, especially to a complete beginner. Available in sizes 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 4/4.

Violins

We know how important it is for players to have an instrument that feels right. That’s why all of our Student and Intermediate Violins are checked over in our workshop before they leave us. We make sure everything is set up properly and comfortable to play, so new players can focus on making progress and enjoying their music from the very beginning.
