'Once again I have been impressed by the quality of your service, the promptness of delivery and your dependable advice' Mr P Bisson, Australia
We update our catalogue on a monthly basis. We have over five thousand classical records in stock but have taken the decision that each will be carefully listened to prior to being listed within our catalogue. If you do not see what you want, please telephone or email to let us know your requirements - we may well be able to match them.
We welcome your comments and hope you will enjoy the Editorial, a space within the site where we discuss musical issues.
Kernow Classics also offers a record cleaning service and musical consultancy.
