Bava's Music City is an independent musical instrument store based in Sydney, servicing Australia wide, that has been in operation for over forty years. With over 150 years of combined industry experience, Bava's Music City aims to provide it's customers with specialist music advice and great value. We offer Digital Pianos and Keyboards, PA Systems, Acoustic and Electronic Drum kits, Studio & DJ gear, and of course Guitars, both Acoustic and Electric, as we repair and service these on site. We are passionate about music, staffed with a music crew that play, teach, live and breathe music. Located in the west of the Sydney music scene since 1972, Bavas Music is one of Australias largest independent dealers. Small enough for personal attention and large enough as a major purchaser. If you haven’t shopped with us, give it a try and you will see why.
