Millat Music Palace
One well-stocked music shop is Millat Music Palace, which sells dhols (traditional large Punjabi drums) and dholkis (smaller drums crafted from wood and goatskins), tablas (twin drums), harmoniums (the most expensive are made in Germany), sitars (the more-expensive ones have fine bone inlay work).
As well as some violins and string guitars (the most expensive are Yamaha instruments).

Hall Rd Music Shops
Another top spot to find CDs and DVDs (although with fewer English-language choices than Fortress Stadium) is on Hall Rd, off The Mall, which has scores of music outlets. Rafi Plaza is a good place to start. CDs and DVDs are at least Rs10 to Rs20 cheaper than those at Fortress Stadium, but only if you bargain hard, as foreigners are invariably quoted higher prices.

B
Langay Bazaar
Close to the Lahore Fort, Langay Bazaar is the area to find musical instruments. Competition between shops is high, so it's worth looking around and bargaining hard to bag the best deal.
