About Us
Guitarnotes™ is the trading name for the Spanish Guitar Centre, Nottingham (UK). We are an independent company, unaffiliated to any other establishment. The Guitar Centre was founded in 1969 by the late Robin Pearson(1941-83) who was a well-known recitalist and teacher. After his untimely death, the business was continued by his partner Catherine Dickinson(a post-graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music and Fellow of the London College of Music) who was joined by Andrew Liepins(B.Ed.Hons) shortly afterwards. Since then the business has developed into a truly international retailer, despatching goods to most countries worldwide.
The Centre maintains one of the largest specialist selections of music for the classical guitar anywhere, with upwards of 10,000 titles in stock. Andrew is justifiably acknowledged to have the greatest knowledge of the printed guitar music repertoire in existence. His commitment and efficiency are awesome in providing a matchless international mail order service.
Unlike many internet guitar retailers, we are a bricks-and-mortar establishment operating from commercial premises, dealing exclusively in the Classical Guitar. However, our mail order operation does not always allow us to to look after personal callers, so to avoid disappointment, please telephone prior to visiting.
