What's New?

Are you ready for a great 2012? We are! A new year is the time for new beginnings and new resolutions. Why not resolve to learn a new instrument or reacquaint yourself with that instrument you haven't touched in years? We offer a wide selection of instruments for sale or rent and we have instructors that can help you learn everything you need to know.

Don't know where to start? For the musical newbie or someone who wants a quick return on their musical investment, a ukulele is a great place to begin. Learn 3-4 basic chords and you will be playing real songs in no time. We have a great selection of top-quality ukuleles ranging from $30 to $300. We also offer monthly free group ukulele jams to get acquainted with your ukulele and we offer private ukulele instruction as well.

Just in! It may look like a toy, but it is a real musical instrument and we've got them: a revolutionary trombone made from high quality plastic - the pBone! It has taken the UK by storm and now is finally available in the US. Light, durable, with a slide that really works and a sound like you won't believe at just $149. pBone's great for jazz, great for students, great for marching, great for travel. pBone is a .500" bore horn and takes a standard tenor mouthpiece. Gig bag and mouthpiece are included. Check out a video here.
