Founded in 2002 by Bryce Ferguson, Edinburgh Music Centre began as Brass and Woodwind — a small, specialist workshop in southwest Edinburgh dedicated to professional-grade instrument care.

With a four-year apprenticeship and over two decades of hands-on experience, Bryce developed expertise in brass, woodwind, and string instrument repair and restoration. His vision: to create a centre where musicians could rely on world-class service, personal care, and honest advice.

Today, Edinburgh Music Centre has grown into one of the UK’s best-equipped and most trusted instrument workshops, serving students, educators, orchestras, and professionals across Scotland and beyond.

🎹 Music Lessons

Our private tuition is open to players of all ages and abilities. Whether you're picking up an instrument for the first time or preparing for grade exams, our experienced tutors provide supportive, skill-building guidance.

🛠️ Facilities That Set Us Apart

We’ve built a workshop environment designed to support world-class craftsmanship. Our facilities include:

• Chemical & Ultrasonic Cleaning Rooms
  Featuring a powerful 450L ultrasonic tank — perfect for deep-cleaning instruments up to BBb tuba size.
• Professional Polishing Suite
  Designed to bring even heavily worn instruments back to a mirror finish.
• Dedicated Sound Room
  A private space where musicians can test instruments post-repair, after customisation, or before purchase.

We believe musicians deserve more than just repairs — they deserve tools that match their talent, and service that respects their art.
