What would make you use a physical music shop instead of Thomann?
One for the musicians here. I'm looking to see what musicians actually want from a local music shop, particularly around things online retailers can't easily provide.
What would make you travel 20–30 minutes to a physical shop?
Immediate availability, no delivery time?
Being able to try equipment?
Repairs and setups?
Lessons?
Vinyl?
Local/Irish instruments?
Local bands and events?
Better advice?
And equally, what has put you off physical music shops in the past?
Interested in hearing people's experiences.
