LONDON; FEBRUARY 09, 2026 – Vista Musical Instruments (vistamusic.com), home of the world’s most admired music brands, has today confirmed the acquisition of the intellectual property, brand assets, and goodwill of Kenny’s Music.

The acquisition was completed by the Liquidators of Kenny’s Music, Thomson Cooper, with Hilco Global acting as exclusive sales agent, ensuring the preservation of the brand’s identity and its future within the global music landscape.

Established in 2008 by Kenny Graham, Kenny’s Music grew into a cornerstone of the Scottish music landscape, serving a dedicated community of aspiring and professional musicians across Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, and Dunfermline. The brand is celebrated for its deep-rooted connection to local artists and its commitment to fostering a thriving music culture through expert service and community engagement.

This acquisition marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the storied brand. To ensure the Kenny’s Music community remains supported and connected, Vista Musical Instruments (VMI) has debuted a revitalised digital home for the retailer.

Effective immediately, customers and fans can engage with the brand’s new era through three key pillars:

• The New Digital Gateway: A refreshed Kenny’s Music landing page is now live at kennysmusic.co.uk. Fans and customers can join the official newsletter to receive exclusive updates on the brand’s evolution and upcoming milestones.
  
• Concierge Gear Services: While a new, state-of-the-art webstore is under development, customers can reach out directly via kennysmusic.co.uk to a dedicated team member for personalised concierge services, expert gear advice, and professional consultations.
  
• Immediate Access to Global Brands: The Kenny’s Music community can now shop an expansive collection of world-class brands including Fender, Martin, Heritage Guitars, Harmony, MONO, and more. These are available with next-working-day delivery in the UK through sister store Dawsons (dawsons.co.uk).

“We’re excited to welcome Kenny’s Music into our VMI ecosystem. While the brand’s recent pause was unfortunate, it followed a period of its strongest sales on record,” said Meng Ru Kuok, CEO of Vista Musical Instruments. “There is a great foundation here to build upon, and we appreciate Hilco Global’s professionalism in helping us ensure this legacy is reimagined for the next generation of musicians.”
