music Shops In KL
I did went to Bentley music last year to enquire about the price and variety,
Bentley is authorized Roland, Fender, Gibson dealers in KL; so this may be the Swee Lee of KL.
Price: plus minus above the same price here in Singapore
after currency conversion.
eg, Roland XV5050 is priced RM$3000
Swee Lee price is S$1300.
maybe slight expensive by S$50 ?
pay cash may get discount, visa no discount.
Variety: 6 storey shop with a Roland music school and music book shop.
In terms of variety, they have more and very well display.
Staff: The staff that served me has a Dip in Multimedia and IT; and on top
of that - he has ABRSM Grd 8 in Pianoforte and Violin. I trust so is
because this is what's on his business card. Overall, this guy is rather
nerdy.
Yamaha KL is the same as Singapore music plaza, a Yamaha instr dealer;
runs with a school as well. Price and variety almost the same. Size of shop is smaller than SG.
There are still a number of shops I yet to check out. Citymusic has a branch in KL. There's a shop name DO-RE-MI ?
Just look at the number of clubs and pubs in KL, definitely the music shops in KL is in demand.

Re: music Shops In KL
ya well, don't think the yamaha there is worth going. shop is small, n sells mostly low-end products.
ya, agree on high number of clubs, but are there many live bands there? don't really think so...

15 electric guitars only? are you sure?LimpPisskit said:forget Bentley....there are maybe 15 electric guitars in the entire place. Wasta time.

I went there early this year in Jan, I recall the guitars display are impressive. Maybe I'm wrong?
Since I'm a keybdt, the Roland products are the attraction to me,
the display is definitely much better than Swee Lee.
Rgd the live bands, maybe I'm wrong; the last live band I saw was in Emporium (now defunct) at the beach clubs.
