!
Evolution you’re excited about in the industry? We specialize in new, used and vintage instruments. We carry guitars, bass, keys, drums, and sound. We also have an excellent music program offering lessons in guitar, bass, drums, keys, voice, banjo and mandolin. We are always learning about, adapting to, and welcoming changes in our industry. Sometimes you just never know what direction your business will go in, but we welcome all new changes and look for our opportunity work them into our business success! A program that has worked well in 2013 is our Rock Band program. It is similar to a music recital, but Rock Band gives our students the opportunity to experience playing in a band, learn music that they listen to on the radio, and give a true rock ’n roll concert.
Product of the Year? Recording King guitars, especially the Dirty 30s. Customers love them and they have been flying off the shelves.
