Hi David,

Thanks for getting in touch.

Yes, you're definitely looking at the right kind of thing. It is 
probably best to come in and try a few out. We often find people come in 
with one idea and leave with something completely different once they've 
sat and played a few.

This week we're here till 3pm Thursday then back open on Tuesday 28th 
11-5pm. If you want to give us a call, we can arrange a time for you to 
come in. 02476 635766

Kind Regards,
Harriet
