Tim Henson Signature A/E Classical Guitar - Flat Black Thinline
"Plays beautifully, w/ rich resonate tone. The neck feels great. Slender, acoustic electric re-imagining of the classical Nylon-string, cut-outs for upper fret access. Walnut finger board & bridge with Tree of Death' inlays, and solid spruce top. Fishman AEQ210TF Sonicore pickup with built-in phase switch. Overall a gorgeous Instrument."

Amahi 8-Inch Steel Tongue Drum - Matte Black
"This product is pure aura. The moment you start tapping with the rubber mallets it comes with or just your fingers, it gives you a sense of chill that’s hard to get from just any instrument. And the fact that it’s 8 inches and comes with its own case makes it easy to bring the vibes anywhere. but it doesn’t compromise sound and nuance for its convenient size so to me it’s easily one of my favorite instruments we carry in store."
- Thomas
Essential Elements Series
"Hal Leonard has recently come out with a new update to their Essential Elements Series for Band and Strings. The update refreshes the material in the books and provides a ton of resources online to help both teachers and students!"

Antigua Power Bell Alto Saxophone - Antique Lacquer Finish
"If you want a horn that’s got pro-level vibes without the 'second mortgage' price tag, this one’s worth playing. Whether you're upgrading from a student model or just want a backup that punches way above its weight, the Antigua Powered Bell Alto delivers.
Come by and give it a blow, you might walk out with a new favorite!"
