Sound | Musical Instruments Online Store WordPress Theme Overview
Sound is a WordPress and WooCommerce theme built around the music industry. It is intended for online instrument shops and music equipment stores, and it also has layouts suited to recording studios, bands, DJs, music workshops, music classes and music blogs. Three demos are included, each with a set of prebuilt pages.
The theme is developed by ThemeREX and has been maintained since its first release in 2016, with the latest update in January 2026 adding WordPress 6.9 compatibility and refreshed demo data. It uses WPBakery Page Builder for layouts, together with a custom theme options panel that supports inherited and overridden settings across pages.
Beyond the shop itself, Sound includes tools for managing services, galleries, team members and blog posts, so a store can also promote lessons, repairs or studio sessions. It bundles a large set of shortcodes and custom widgets, and it is compatible with several popular plugins such as Essential Grid, Slider Revolution and Instagram Feed.

Who Sound | Musical Instruments Online Store WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
Sound suits Canadian music retailers that want a store with some personality: an independent guitar shop in Halifax, a piano and keyboard dealer in Calgary, or a drum and percussion store selling gear and accessories online. The services and team features let these shops also advertise repairs, rentals or in-store lessons.
It is equally practical for music schools, private teachers, recording studios and working bands that sell a small range of merchandise or recordings alongside their main content. A studio in Montreal could present its rooms and engineers, while a community music school could list programs and instructors and sell books or instruments through the same WooCommerce store.
Important Notes About Sound | Musical Instruments Online Store WordPress Theme
The Mega Main Menu plugin is not included with the purchase, even though the theme supports it. Theme options, widgets and shortcodes were moved into the ThemeREX Utilities plugin in 2018, so that plugin needs to stay active. Stock demo images are not part of the download, and the older GDPR Compliance plugin was removed in 2021, so privacy consent should be handled with a current plugin.
Sound is built on WPBakery Page Builder rather than a block or Elementor workflow, which matters if the team is already familiar with a different editor. Each licence covers one website.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
The customer chooses Sound and purchases the licence, and AppiAppi installs the theme and required plugins, imports the demo that suits the business, and replaces it with the customer’s branding, instrument photography, services and staff details. We configure WooCommerce, payments, shipping for large and small items, and Canadian sales tax so the live store is ready.
Afterwards, AppiAppi provides AI-assisted SEO and content support for product and lesson pages, uploads new stock, and keeps the theme and its plugins updated. We also respond to customer inquiries and help handle orders, with ongoing management matched to the customer’s subscription plan.
