Buying instruments in lockdown

    Hey,

    Just wondering if anyone knows of any shops in Ireland selling online during the Covid-19 pandemic?

    I am looking to pick up a guitar to start (re)learning it given the amount of spare time at the weekends now.

    I can order what I want from Amazon, but if possible, I'd rather support an Irish store though this difficult time.

    So, just wondering if anyone knows of any stores still selling online? I've no idea of even physical stores in Ireland so don't know where to start with a search even.

    I bought a guitar from Andertons in the UK. It arrived today, a day earlier than expected. I ordered it on 2nd April and it wasn't in stock so it came quite quickly. I know its not an Irish shop but im very happy with the service.

    Has anyone bought from Savins before?

    That's great if Andertons is delivering on time. I am also looking to buy a few musical instruments, including a couple of footswitches for my brother but Amazon seller is not providing it from more than 14 days. I am thinking to cancel the order but my brother is saying we should wait for some more time. Many buyers are saying that they are facing a 4 weeks delay. Many people are saying that food and medical supply orders are being delivered on time but not sure about other orders. Also found this article little helpful in this regard.

    Now, after checking bass pedals and other musical instruments on Andertons, I just want to make an order there, but as I have already placed order at Amazon, that's why it is restricting me to doing that. I think the administration should allow home deliveries of all supplies even in lockdown.

    Many Irish shops will deliver, especially the smaller ones - just give them a ring
