New Year, New Gear!
It's the start of 2025 and that means some exciting new things have found their way into the store that our staff can't recommend enough. Whether they're fans of the way they play, bought one for themselves, or simply think everyone needs one, these are their picks for January!
Korg Volca Synthesizers
"The Korg Volca’s are a compact powerhouse series of instruments for music creators, offering a range of synths, drum machines, and samplers that are both portable and highly affordable! What makes them truly shine is interconnecting them to sync & build a whole groove of intricate rhythm patterns, lush soundscapes, and evolving arpeggios, in seconds - perfect for live performance or studio production! The Volca series is ideal for musicians looking to explore modular-style creativity without breaking the bank or just wanting something new to be inspired by!"

Green Tree Jewelry
"These earrings are a great accessory for yourself or the musician in your life. They are lightweight, very comfortable to wear, and come in many styles and colors. Honestly, it is taking a lot of self control for me to not buy more of these earrings. I already own a couple pairs."

Moog Theremini
"My first time at the Musical Instrument Museum, I played on a theremin in the experimental room for literal HOURS and it didn’t even have 32 different sound settings like this one! It also has the option for assisted pitch correction for your beginner theremin-er journey. An instrument for your next song’s sick hook, perhaps?"

Phat Puppy Pocket Flugelhorn
"Created in partnership with Taylor Trumpets, this Carol Brass 'pocket flugelhorn' has a POWERFUL sound, while maintaining the roundness and warmth you want to hear in a flugel. It is so much fun to play, and comes with two lead pipes allowing you to use a flugel mouthpiece or a trumpet mouthpiece. This is a one-off used item we currently have, so don't waste time. Get down here and check out this Phat Puppy!"

Medium Green Glass Slide
"Slide guitar is already hard, and that brass tube you've been using doesn't make it any easier. Rockslide has solved that! With a tapered interior, knuckle cutout and finger rest, this is BY FAR the most comfortable slide you will use. They also come in many colors to fit your unique style!"

Logjam Logarhythm 4
"It's so simple to add a percussive sound to your mix with this cool device. It works best when plugged into your amp, and is a small amplified box. Use with mallets, a toe, a heel, an elbow... knock the box and enjoy the additional jams!"

Tim Henson Signature A/E Classical Guitar - Flat Black Thinline
“This guitar is beautiful! Sleek black finish with an aesthetic inlay, it not only stands out visually, but playability. The acoustic-electric design allows it to be extremely versatile, while providing a great tone. You really can't go wrong with this guitar. Come on down and try it out!”
