Yusuf Mirajkar Musical

Yusuf Mirajkar Musical is situated on Laxmi Road at Ganapati Chowk. We are right near the Agtaya Hotel, which is a well-known landmark around here. Our shop is full of instruments. You’ll see harmoniums, sitars, and tablas everywhere. It’s a place that smells of wood and varnish. We’ve been part of the music scene in this area for a very long time. It’s a family-run kind of thing. We don’t just sell instruments; we also spend a lot of time fixing them. People bring in old instruments that have been in their families for years. We sit on the floor and work on them with small tools. It’s slow work and requires a lot of patience. The shop is often noisy with someone testing out a flute or tuning a string instrument. It’s not a fancy air-conditioned mall store. It’s a traditional shop where things are done the old way. We talk to the customers about what they need and try to help them out. Laxmi Road is always crowded, especially during the festivals, but we like being in the middle of it all. We don't do much advertising. Most people know us through word of mouth. It’s a simple life surrounded by music and crafts. We keep the doors open and wait for the next person who loves music to walk in. There is always someone coming in with a story about an old instrument they found in their attic.
