Music Supply Heaven


I've been working on some music these days and naturally was drawn to the Nakwon Music Arcade for my instrumental and music supply needs.  This building, located adjacent to the famous Insadong shopping street, is packed with multiple floors full of just about any music-related item you can think of.  That means pianos, synthesizers, violins, guitars, drums, monitors, mixers, microphones, cables... the list goes on.


Once you're inside, the corridors are lined with instrument vendors down the middle and countless small shops down the sides.  It can get pretty confusing as there really doesn't seem to be any organization at all to how the different supply categories are laid out.  But that's part of the fun of spending a couple hours at the arcade -- wandering about its various nooks, alleys and dead ends, and hopefully finding that one piece of equipment you're looking for (in my case, a brass jingle tambourine)... or maybe something you didn't even expect.
