About Us

A Family Business That Understands Musicians

Angkor Music isn't a corporate chain or online-only retailer. We're a family-owned Melbourne business run by myself (Noel), my wife Vicheka, and our 11-year-old son Edward, who's already learning the ropes of the music business. I was trained classically on violin and understand the frustration of poorly set-up instruments and the difference quality gear makes to your playing.

We're battlers like many of our customers—working hard every day to build something we're proud of. When you call (03) 8360 7799 or visit our Altona showroom at 4-6 Drake Boulevard, you're talking to people who genuinely care whether your guitar plays well, not just whether we made a sale.

Every Instrument Inspected Before Delivery

Here's what makes us different: we actually open the box and check your instrument before shipping. Every guitar gets tuned, inspected for damage, and tested. When you receive your guitar from Angkor Music, it arrives in tune and ready to play—not in a factory-sealed box that might contain a damaged instrument nobody's looked at.

Our guitar technician performs professional setups, restringing, and repairs on-site at our Altona workshop. We're not just selling you an instrument—we're making sure it actually works properly.

Real Stock, Real Fast

We stock over 15,000 products from 150 brands in our climate-controlled Altona showroom—not in some distant warehouse or overseas. When you order, we ship within 24 hours because your guitar is literally sitting on our shelf, not being drop-shipped from the other side of the world.

Free shipping on many  items Australia-wide. Whether you're in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, or regional Australia, we deliver quality instruments quickly without the shipping gouging common in this industry.

From Student Gear to Professional Equipment

Our range covers everyone from students buying their first instrument to touring professionals needing reliable gear. We stock everything from $250 beginner guitars through $5,000+ professional instruments, drum kits, orchestral strings, brass, woodwind, and folk instruments.

We deliberately stock both boutique brands and popular best-sellers because different musicians have different needs and budgets. Not everyone needs a $3,000 guitar, and we'll honestly tell you when a $400 instrument will serve you better than spending more.
