Some stories transcend business to become cultural touchstones. Since 1967, Muso's Corner has been such a story - a testament to the enduring power of musical community.

What began as a modest piano store has evolved into Australia’s premier independent music retailer, its journey mirroring the nation’s own musical evolution.

From its Hunter Street home in Newcastle, the store has become more than a retail space – it’s a crucible of musical ambition, where decades of expertise meet contemporary innovation. ​Each successive location in its 57-year history has added new layers to its legacy, from intimate teaching spaces to expansive showrooms that inspire exploration and discovery.​

Under Winarch Live’s stewardship, Muso’s Corner enters its next chapter with a deep appreciation for its heritage and an eye toward future possibilities. This transition represents more than an acquisition – it’s a commitment to preserving and evolving a cultural institution that has shaped countless musical journeys.​

Within Muso's Corner, Muso’s Live provides an intimate performance space where Newcastle's musical pulse finds its rhythm.

Muso’s Live represents the natural evolution of our commitment to the local music community, transforming from a legendary retail space into a dynamic venue where instruments aren’t just sold, but celebrated in live performance.​

This seamless integration of retail and performance provides a space where customers can experience their potential purchases in a live setting, where local talents can hone their craft, and where Newcastle’s rich musical community gathers to share in the authentic experience of live music.​

Muso’s Live stands as a testament to our commitment to creating spaces that don’t just serve the music community, but help it thrive and evolve.​

The Guitar Lounge represents a new standard in musical instrument retail, blending technical expertise with uncompromising customer experience.​

Located in Sydney, the showroom houses a carefully curated selection of electric and acoustic guitars, from rare vintage pieces to cutting-edge modern instruments, each maintained to exacting standards by our in-house technical team.​​

By understanding how musicians interact with instruments, we’ve created an environment that facilitates genuine connection between player and instrument. We bring an integrated approach to guitar sales and service, combining deep product knowledge, international brand relationships, and technical expertise.​

This blending of technical expertise with emotional resonance reflects our larger philosophy: that great musical spaces should inspire, enable, and elevate the creative spirit.​
