Record stores in Bengaluru

Bengaluru, Karnataka has 10 record stores on the map. That's 10 record shops mapped around Bengaluru. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. Bring a want-list, but leave room for the find you didn't know you needed.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Bengaluru (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Theme Piano World and Furtados Music India Private Limited, plus Jhankaar. If a record shop's missing from Bengaluru's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Record digging tips for Bengaluru

How the regulars work Bengaluru's bins:

• Learn the grading at Theme Piano World. Mint, near mint, very good — and check whether the grade is visual or play-graded. A visual VG+ can play like an EX.
• Check for box sets at Furtados Music India Private Limited. Box sets get broken up or sold whole; either way the per-record price is often excellent.
• Check Discogs before big purchases. A quick price check on your phone keeps everyone honest — you and the shop.
• Check the turntable section. Many record shops sell used decks and cartridges. A serviced vintage turntable beats a cheap new one.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Bengaluru — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Bengaluru can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 10 that's closed, or a great record store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 10 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
