Gardners - Pianos, Instruments, Music Sheets/Books & Equipment
(Recommended)
Pros
Firstly, 'Gardners' isn't too hard to find as it is located on a street which is open and parallel to the Gabalfa Highway / flyover (which goes over the big Gabalfa roundabout). In addition, Gardners is located near the shop which has a big side black wall with a stencil / painting of a candle.
At first glance this store looks cheap and tacky, but the moment you step inside you will be greeted with a vast range of piano from large glossy mahogany grand pianos to the more common upright pianos.
At the back of the store you will find a nice selection of music equipment e.g. metronomes and a selection of music sheets & books ranging from modern pop songs to the more classical pieces.
When we came here to purchase a piano, the store manager happily asked an assistant to play on each of the pianos they had in stock so we could compare sounds and pick the perfect one - the whole experience and purchase was smooth and pain free.
Cons
Finding a place to park may only be the real disadvantage.
