Musical instruments market in Delhi

[desmond]

Hi

I am ending my tour in New Delhi and would like to buy Tabla and Flute as a souvenir before I go home. I checked some musical instrument shops in Mumbai, but didn't buy it from there as I didn't want to overload myself with extra luggage. Is there any market or shop in Delhi from where I could buy authentic and real musical instruments on reasonable price.

Hi Desmond

Welcome to India Travel Community.
You can go to Daryaganj in Old Delhi and there are many musical instrument shops from where you can get a Table and Flute at very reasonable price. I bought my guitar from the Biba Music Emporium in Daryaganj which is very near to Golcha cinema, shop is owned by a old Sikh man and prices fixed, as per best of my knowledge they do not try to rip off anyone.

You can also go to Bina Musical Stores in Chandni Chowk and the prices would be quite reasonable there as well.

Hi,

Thank you for the recommendation! Daryaganj sounds like a great place to find musical instruments at reasonable prices. I’ve heard of Biba Music Emporium, and it’s reassuring to know they have fixed prices and are trustworthy. It’s always great to support local shops like that.

For anyone visiting Daryaganj for musical instruments or other shopping, it’s worth planning your trip around Namaz time if you're Muslim, as there are several mosques nearby where you can take a break for prayer. You can also use tools like a Namaz time app to ensure you don’t miss your prayer while you're out and about.

Thanks again for the suggestion! I’ll definitely check it out when I’m in Old Delhi.
