The Good Stuff
Try gear
Customers can test guitars and other equipment in dedicated testing spaces before buying.
Guitar work
Reviews describe same-day guitar setups, refretting, modifications and repairs including a cracked neck and fret issues.
Specialist repairs
The workshop has handled unusual repairs, including an oboe, saxophone, alto and flute maintenance.
Helpful guidance
Several buyers say staff helped match products to their skill level, budget and specific requirements.
Home delivery
Online orders were reported as arriving on time, with careful packaging and help carrying a large, heavy box.
Jam nights
The venue has hosted jam nights, adding a performance-focused community element to the shopping experience.
Tips for a Better Visit
Test first. Use the testing rooms and try gear in person before committing, especially for guitars and amplifiers.
Find the entrance. The entrance is inside the area and requires passing a security gate; a review says nothing is needed there.
Confirm pricing. Ask for the current price in writing before paying or authorising setup work, since one buyer reported a later increase.
Check returns. Clarify the return terms for opened or boxed items before purchase, particularly if you may need a change-of-mind return.
Allow checking. For instrument repairs or adjustments before an audition or trip, test the instrument thoroughly before leaving and allow time for follow-up.
Ask about timing. If you need a guitar setup quickly, ask whether it can be completed during your visit; one customer had it done on the spot.

The Bottom Line
Melody House is a large musical instrument store in Al Quoz where you can browse and test guitars, drums, amplifiers and less common instruments. Reviews also point to useful workshop support: customers have arranged guitar setups, refretting, flute and brass maintenance, and even upright piano tuning. The testing rooms make it easier to compare gear before buying rather than choosing blindly.
The strongest pattern is knowledgeable, hands-on help. Buyers describe guidance for a first PRS guitar, a home studio installation and an amplifier purchase, while another customer found a traditional Doumbek/Darbuka among a surprisingly wide choice of African drums. Online orders have also arrived on time and well packed.
Jam nights have taken place at the venue, so it can feel more like a working music hub than a simple shop. Service is not completely consistent. Some visitors struggled to find assistance, found WhatsApp replies slow, or felt rushed during technical conversations.
One guitar purchase involved an unexpected price increase at payment, and an audio-interface return became a dispute over an opened box and the stated credit-note policy. Confirm the final price and return terms in writing, and test repaired instruments carefully before an important performance or trip.
