Xinjiekou South Street

Xinjiekou is not only a street for audio in the past, but also a street for musical instruments. Around 2002, the Liuli Factory moved, and many piano room owners moved to Xinjiekou South Street, successfully pushing the musical instrument street to the peak of history. At that time, there were 46 musical instrument shops on South Street, which was very lively. In recent years, some shops have been transformed into jewelry stores, but there are still more than 20 piano shops on South Street, a level rarely seen in Beijing. Each shop is very old, the owners are proficient in music theory, and more than half of the customers are musicians. Beginners don't have to worry, some musical instrument shops offer lessons, and the staff will introduce you to playing techniques and maintenance methods when you make a purchase.

Xinjiekou South Street mainly sells orchestral instruments, keyboards and percussion instruments are also covered, and their prices vary depending on the brand.

Liuli factory

Liuli Factory has long been Beijing's "musical instrument street", in the early days of liberation, mainly to sell national musical instruments, and the integration of factories and stores, production and marketing. After the "public-private partnership", the Liuli factory was affected to a certain extent, but the sales departments of various cooperatives and musical instrument factories were located here, so that they could maintain their vitality. In the 80s, the self-selling power was decentralized, the glaze factory was reborn, and Western musical instruments were also able to pour in, gradually occupying the mainstream of the market. In 2002, the Liuli Factory began to be renovated, and many shops moved to Xinjiekou, but after the renovation was completed, some shops moved back. At present, the musical instrument shops of Liulichang are mainly concentrated in South Xinhua Street, which is similar in scale to Xinjiekou South Street, but there are more ethnic musical instrument dealers gathered here.
