A. Godin & co

On one of their trips to Connaught Place, Shri Nathji and Priya Nath came to Godin’s music shop located at Regal Building and saw an upright piano there, which Priya Nath liked. Shri Nathji immediately took the piano on rent at fifty rupees a month. The melodious notes of the piano filled the home of Shri Nathji at Delhi with delightful music in the days to come. After a few months, the owner of the shop literally gave it away to Shri Nathji for the small sum of one thousand rupees only–at a time when pianos were selling for twenty thousand rupees or more. Shri Nathji's home thrilled with the sound of music, as Priya Nath’s fingers played upon the piano at their home. Shri Nathji clapped along with the music.

A. Godin & co. located at 1, Regal Building, Connaught Place,  is one of the oldest music stores in Delhi and provides with music instruments of all kinds. Situated in one of the oldest buildings in Delhi, the music store started in 1940 at Kashmiri Gate and shifted to its present location in 1960. The store has retained its old world charm thanks to the high ceilings and the dark mahogany cabinets.  A. Godin & Co. was earlier known for selling pianos. However, later it added Indian instruments to its stock as well. Pianos, nonetheless, are available in several numbers, in different colors and styles.
