Cheapa Music Pty Ltd Information

Cheapa Music are proud to be the premier music shop of Australia's country music capital in New South Wales. Founded in 1979, Cheapa Music Pty Ltd was run by Managing Director, Peter Harkins. After the retirement of Peter on 20th Jan. 2015 after 35 years, Cheapa Music has been purchased by Mr. David Alexander. All the staff have been kept on, to bring you all the best service and expertize that our customers are used to. Musicians from all over Australia have been travelling to our store for the past 35 years and we are known to have supplied instruments and music to some of the biggest names in the industry, supplying the best name brands and equipment available at rock bottom prices.
