History:
In the 1850's Joseph Wilkie and George Allan set up a music warehouse in Melbourne's Collins Street, catering for a population of just 20,000. This effectively was the start of Allans Music - and the story embraces the musical history of Australia . Far more than just a ‘seller' of musical instruments, the Collins Street store became a musical Mecca for the talented and famous – Dame Nellie Melba took her early lessons at Allans! That history means we are one of the most recognisable national brands in music.

Showcasing our incredible range of the highest quality pianos from the world's greatest manufacturers, you can be assured that a visit to an Allans Music store will inspire and excite.
Our people:
Allans Music Piano Consultants' commitment to service is measured by their belief that providing a quality musical instrument at the right price is just the first step. Some Allans Music Piano Consultants have been involved in the industry for over a decade. During this time their training has been constantly updated, and some consultants have visited the overseas factories of various brands. They have accumulated valuable knowledge on the intricacies of pianos - and are pleased to pass it on to you. An Allans Music Piano Consultant can help you with everything from obtaining a valuation guide on your current piano, to advising on what to look for when choosing a piano teacher, recommending a tuner and helping date an instrument. They believe that customer service and sound advice are just as important as the selection of the perfect instrument.
Our Range:
Apart from the obvious expense of extra servicing and repair, research shows that beginners progress faster and continue playing longer when using a quality instrument. Allans Music is committed to quality - we insist on stocking only the most proven brands in the business, because we know that when it comes to music, it's all about the sound. Our range is made up of the most famous piano brands in the world, all backed by quality assurance and full manufacturer warranty.
