5 Best Music Stores in Hong Kong (2026)

Tom Lee Music is Hong Kong's largest music retailer and the exclusive local agent for Yamaha, carrying guitars, pianos, digital keyboards, orchestral and percussion instruments, audio and HiFi gear, and a full floor of sheet music. Its Tsim Sha Tsui flagship on Cameron Lane runs across two levels, instruments downstairs, scores and accessories upstairs, and stocks names like Taylor, Fender, PRS, Pearl, Korg and Steinway & Sons. Beyond retail the company runs music education centres and offers after-sales servicing and repairs. It is the default first stop for anyone shopping instruments across a budget.

Home Sweet Home is a Mong Kok specialist in ukuleles, acoustic guitars and hand percussion, kalimbas (thumb pianos), cajons, tongue drums and handpans, and it also runs beginner lessons. It carries more than 200 ukulele models and acts as the Hong Kong agent for brands such as Enya, TODO and AkamaUkes, with acoustic guitars sorted into clear price tiers from entry to solid-top. The walk-up shop sits on an upper floor off Sai Yeung Choi Street, so it feels more like a personal studio than a big-box store. It is built for first-time buyers who want guidance.

CD Warehouse is one of Hong Kong's last large physical-media shops, sitting on Nathan Road in Prince Edward and open late into the evening. It stocks a broad music catalogue, Cantopop, Mandopop, international, Japanese and Korean releases, alongside Hong Kong and Hollywood movies on DVD and Blu-ray, plus a growing wall of new vinyl. The floor is big enough to lose an afternoon in, and the stock leans new rather than second-hand. It is the go-to for discs and mainstream records rather than instruments.

Guitar Concept is a Mong Kok guitar school founded in 2009 by performer Jacky Lau, occupying a full 9th-floor teaching space of more than 3,000 square feet on Nathan Road. It focuses only on guitar, classical, fingerstyle, worship and pop courses for all levels, and sells guitars and accessories alongside the lessons, with a student community of several hundred players. Because teaching is the core of the business, its retail range is narrower than a general store's, centred on guitars. It suits buyers who want tuition and an instrument together.

White Noise Records is a Sham Shui Po record shop opened in April 2004 by three music lovers, known for a deep, well-organised stock of new and used LPs and CDs. Its strengths are Japanese pressings, city pop, jazz, electronic and dance, with curated corners for niche genres like doom metal and Berlin-school electronica. The shop keeps an online store for pre-checking stock and ships internationally, and the owner is hands-on for anyone hunting something specific. It is the specialist stop for collectors rather than casual shoppers.
