How it all started

When it comes to music stores in Australia, you’d struggle to find a more trusted or well known name than Billy Hyde’s.

Billy Hyde himself, the man who started it all, was a true Aussie music legend, and opened the first Billy Hyde’s Music store way back in 1962.

Billy was a muso himself, and a music lover, and his philosophy was all about making sure every customer was looked after.

And all these years later, it’s a philosophy we stay true to today.

We’re here for everyone

We know people are passionate about music, and everyone has their own preferences. The brands they love, the artists they love… and love to hate. And look, we get it. That’s music for you.

But we’re here for everyone, just like we’ve always been. We honestly don’t care if you like Sabrina Carpenter or The Carpenters. Whether you’re an Underground Lovers lover, or a Foo Fighters fighter. Like Pink Floyd? Come on in. Taylor Swift? Yep. Even Nickelback. Yes, really.

Come and get the stuff you want to make the music you love.

Great range. Great brands. Great advice. Great value.

We won’t pretend we have every piece of equipment by every brand on the planet, but we certainly have a lot of stuff here. And if we don’t have what you want, but we can get it, we’ll do that.

And while we don’t pretend to be perfect at everything we do, we’re all about doing our best to help you get the stuff you want at a great value price. We know you’ve got choices when it comes to where you buy your gear, so we’ll always do what we can to make sure you love shopping here.

No BS was/is prices.

We know most retailers like to do the whole was/is price thing to make it look like they’ve reduced their prices but with a few exceptions, that’s just not how we roll. You can Google. You can see what stuff costs. And we’re not into BSing our customers.

We know sometimes that means our sales won’t look as good as some others, but we’d rather be straight up about it, sell at the best prices we can, and let you decide if it’s good value or not. We won’t win ‘em all, but at least we’ll be honest.

Big, but still family owned.

We pride ourselves on being big enough to have a great range at great prices, but still family owned and here to help. No soulless corporate ownership. Just a music loving family who have been in music retail since the 60s, doing what we love, in an industry we love, helping other musos do what they love, which is making music.

Whether that’s rock or pop or jazz or dance or folk or metal or whatever you’re into, we’re here for it.

No sales people. Just musos helping musos.

Our team aren’t actually here to sell you stuff, they’re here to help. They’re musos just like you, and some of them are incredible and successful musos at that. So they can talk turkey with you til the cows come home. OK, that’s one too many animal references, but you know what we mean.

Need advice? There’ll be someone on our team who knows exactly what you want, and can help you get it.

What our customers say

Brilliant store with pretty much every brand under the sun. The staff were friendly, helpful and proactive. Easy to speak with and they know their stuff. Easily the best music store in Victoria for any type of musician, since they stock drums, keys, guitars and more and at fair prices.
