Galip Dede Caddesi is a charming, cobbled street in Istanbul full of cafes, boutiques, and shops brimming with traditional and western musical instruments.
"Shopping for Musical Instruments If you're interested in buying (or browsing) musical instruments in Istanbul , then head to Galip Dede Caddesi in Galata, between Istiklal Street and the Galata Tower. Here you'll find an enormous range of percussion instruments such as darbukas, davul, frame drums and symbols; stringed instruments including the bağlama and saz; or Middle Eastern wind instruments like the mizmar. Western-style instruments are also available. If you have the time to shop around, it might also pay to visit the shops on Ataturk Caddesi in Unkapani, just down from the aquaducts in Fatih."
Great atmosphere and good place to pick up some souvenirs and trinkets.

A busy street that you follow from near Galata Tower to the shopping, dining pedestrian street Istiklal Cd and then on to Taksim Square.
As well as the music shops, cafes and restaurants, the is poetry on the street (in Turkish).

Very interesting street, you can find a lot of musical equipment and souveniers.
Also has the Mevlevi Hanesi Museum which is unfortunately closed at the moment.
