ABOUT
Sun-Sounds – a little home for music, since 2014 !
We're a small, independent music shop tucked into Blanche Huber Street — and after twelve years on the same corner, we've grown into something a bit more than a shop. We're the place locals send their friends to when they want straight answers, the spot touring musicians find when their gear lets them down, and the room where a lot of Maltese players had their very first lesson.
What we do
We sell instruments vintage, used, and new. Malta's first dedicated vintage and used instrument shop, alongside a carefully chosen range of new guitars, basses, amps, pianos, percussion, pedals, and studio gear. We stock what we'd actually recommend, not whatever a catalogue tells us to.
We teach. Tuition is where Sun-Sounds began; it's literally what the name was meant for. One-to-one guitar and piano lessons in our Sliema studio, with teachers who play for a living and genuinely love getting people started.
We repair and restore. Stringed instruments, drum kits, amps. Bring it in, we'll have a look.
We rent. Backline for visiting bands, guitars for travelling musicians, and a rehearsal space when you need somewhere to be loud.
We buy and trade. Leaving the island and can't take your guitar? Upgrading and want to part-exchange? Get in touch; we make fair offers and we move quickly.
Why people keep coming back
We treat every visitor as a person, not a transaction. Whether you're picking up your first ukulele, hunting a 1970s Les Paul, or trying to figure out which strings won't hurt your fingers; you'll get the same time and honesty.
That approach has earned us a reputation well beyond Malta. Our Reverb feedback comes in from buyers in the UK, USA, Spain, Hungary, and across Europe, and the words we keep seeing are honest, professional, well-packed, kind.We're proud of that.
What we care about
- Trust - built quietly, through what we do rather than what we say.
- Passion - we sell music gear because we're musicians ourselves. It shows.
- Respect - your time, your budget, your goals. No pressure, no upsell.
- Craft - a small shop done well, with a minimalist approach and a sustainable way of working. Different from the rest, on purpose.
