Gandharva Loka
A world-music instrument shop on South Great George’s Street stocking instruments from across the globe — Irish and folk, ethnic and hand-percussion — plus a deep range of sound-healing instruments like singing bowls, gongs and handpans. A specialist counterpoint to the rock-and-pop guitar shops.

Some Neck Guitars
A specialist vintage and used-guitar shop run by guitarists, settled at 97 Francis Street in the Liberties after several moves around the south inner city. Expect a rotating stock of 200-plus vintage and modern electrics, acoustics, basses and amps, plus on-site luthier repairs. Older listings still say Aungier Street — it is Francis Street now.

XMusic
Ireland’s largest musical instrument store, trading from a big-box home at the Red Cow Retail Centre off the Naas Road. Guitars, basses, drums, keys, PA, DJ and recording gear under one roof with parking outside — the place to try a lot of options in a single trip rather than trek between small shops.
