The Hobgoblin Museum

GO BACK TO SHOPS PAGE

The Hobgoblin Museum has been moved to the warehouse in Worthing recently. Hopefully we will find a public space for it again in the future. A few years ago we realised how many rare instruments had slipped through our hands over the years, and decided to hang on to as much as possible of the interesting stuff we now get. The collection is not too well balanced as the stuff arrives randomly, so in the future we will start to look to fill the gaps.

I will try to get some pictures on here one day!
