Summertime Staff Picks
Our staff of musicians, students, parents, and teachers share the instruments and accessories they've been loving this summer. These picks are HOT! Too hot to handle! Someone left them out in the sun!
Bad Band Kid Art
"I've been taking musical instruments that no longer work and turning them into art for about 2 years now. It's a fantastic way to give new life to instruments. These were someone's pride and joy.. often it's the biggest investment that a parent makes for a student under 18 years old. Getting that instrument is a memorable and pivotal moment in a musician's life. To recycle them and make them something fun and beautiful is a total blast. All the pieces are designed to be hung by a single screw, reducing complicated hanging requirements. I've shown my work in galleries in Tucson and Tubac, and now I have an art wall within IMC! I also do consignment and custom projects. I've turned nostalgic saxophones and flutes into custom art for the players."

"I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I LOVE THESE! Our exclusive Spiffy Kits take the guesswork out of making sure you have everything you need to keep your instrument well maintained and playing just the way you like it!"

Lock-It Strap
"Have you ever dropped something you really, really loved onto the ground? Purposely? Of course not! I have, however, had a guitar strap come apart during a performance, almost destroying my most prized instrument. Enter, the Lock-it Strap, with its patented built in strap lock, and you’ll never drop a thing! Perfect for anyone who loves keeping their stringed instrument intact. With the built in sliders, there’s no installation necessary! A truly innovative, and cool new product!"
