About Us

We are a Premier Musical Instrument Shop for the Woodwind and Brasswind Player, located in Edam, Netherlands. For nearly 35 years we have been offering a high quality product to discerning professionals and their students around the world.

We work in a small and dedicated team and are as passionate about making music as you are. Not only are we a store, we also have an in-house repair atelier, where we are routinely called upon to do repairs from the simple tightening of a screw to complete overhauls. 

Even with the most reputable brands, small problems can occur due to transportation or changes in humidity. Our experienced players will therefore assemble, thoroughly test-play and where necessary adjust or set-up each instrument to perfection before shipment. We can proudly guarantee that an instrument purchased from Matthew's Music, whether it is a brand new or a vintage instrument, will be in top condition, otherwise we won't ship it.
