Most instrument shops are a bit dull if you're not a musician, I'm sure. Once you've seen your 30th guitar your brain probably starts to grey out, let alone the annoying staff showing off how well they play.

Well, I challenge you to be bored in Ray Mans!

Formerly located in Parkway, now nearer to Chalk Farm, this long running family business is a treat to visit.

They sell a wide variety of instruments from four corners of the globe, with a main emphasis on Chinese and east asian traditional instruments.

Things range in price from the £1 or £2 pound bamboo flutes and jaw harps, to the £2000 odd sitars and wonderful hammered dulcimers in the back room.

They excel in percussion too, with many different types of shakers, rattles, small drums and finger cymbals too. The staff are very welcoming and they don't seem to mind if you have a little twang or rattle here or there.
