Purpose Built REHEARSAL Rooms

  • MAGNET Rehearsal studios were established as an antidote to the run down, dirty, smelly, and sometimes dangerous places that call themselves rehearsal rooms.

  • The practice rooms have been purpose built and were designed by musicians for use by musicians.

  • There are 4 good sized rehearsal rooms. Practice Rooms 1-3 20ft X 20ft and room 4 17ft X 14ft. Each one has been treated to absorb unwanted frequencies so that you can hear actually what you are playing.

  • MAGNET prides itself on maintaining a creative environment for the all types and standards of musician. All you need to do is bring your instrument and leave the rest to us. Although you can do the playing!!!

  • Service is helpful and friendly. MAGNET is open almost 24/7 dependant upon demand.
