Watch: 5 Best Music Stores in Singapore (2026)

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the store’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, ranked against other Singapore music stores. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from thousands of reviews carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few hundred. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do instruments cost in Singapore? (2026)

What’s the warranty period, and what does it cover?
