Red Dog Music is Edinburgh's largest general music store, with over 5,000 square feet of electric guitars, bass guitars, acoustic guitars, keyboards, studio recording gear, computer music, lighting, pa equipment, percussion and loads more.

We stock all of the big brands and loads of the small ones, have private demo rooms with mirrors for practising embarrassing guitar moves, analog synths wired up and ready to squeal, murals on the walls, loads of funky lights and an extremely comfortable sofa if you get bored of all the musical equipment and just want to sit down.

Company History

Red Dog Music was formed in May 2008 by former management of Sound Control and Turnkey, previously the UK's largest musical instrument and technology retailers. Frustrated by the general direction of musical instrument shops, we decided that we'd start our own and run it in the way we think music shops should be run.

We are defiantly independent - there are no suited bankers or boards of directors telling us what we should and should not do - and the store is both owned and run by musicians.

As active musicians ourselves, we hold a passionate belief that musical instruments should not be treated like any other commodity - companies that sell guitars as if they are televisions are completely missing the point - and we stay central to the local Edinburgh music scene, sponsoring nights, helping musicians get gigs, and gigging ourselves in various different bands (from indie to techno to country and everything in between!).
