Store Profile
The flagship store of the Music Sales retailing group, one of the UK’s premier music shops, a department store on three floors with a wide selection of musical instruments of all types, a specialist rock instrument department, a specialist classical CD department and one of the most comprehensive selections of sheet music to be found anywhere, Banks Music is a music retailing phenomenon.

Now in our third century of music retailing (we share our birthday with Mozart) Banks boasts an unrivalled pool of expertise. Our sheet music staff alone have over 150 years experience between them! Our band music resource is unique, with an unrivalled selection of music which attracts visitors from all over the world. Many of our customers make a day of it.

The saying goes, if Banks can’t supply it, nobody can, and in truth, we rarely disappoint our customers. We are in the centre of historic York, two minutes walk from the Minster, within easy reach of the railway station (approximately two hours from London) and city centre car parks.

A staff of some twenty music enthusiasts are waiting to welcome you!
