Gretsch Duo Jet Electric Guitar
"This used Gretsch Duo Jet is GORGEOUS and I love it. The champagne flake sparkle is reason enough to buy it, however it packs a ton of tone is super comfortable to play. This is one of the coolest used pieces we've ever had at IMC."

D’Addario Oboe & Bassoon Reed Case
"I love this reed case because it keeps my reeds from drying out in our super dry desert weather. Reeds just work better in humidity! This has kept my reeds working their best. Plus, it's super easy to use. All you have to do is replace the insert every few months."

Hercules Desktop Music Stand
"I saw this at the Namm show and had to get it in! Really sturdy tabletop Music stands are hard to find. This folds up nicely, have nice spring clips, a bag, and it holds books quite well."

Yamaha YFL577HCT Performance Flute
"This is a Yamaha 500 series flute with a solid silver, hand cut head joint. It’s a true performance flute, perfect for a high school player or college performer. Plus it has an offset g, and the keys plays really well! It’s such a sweet little flute."

Royal Reeds by D’Addario
"You may be familiar with Rico’s orange box of reeds. A lot of students start on those, but graduate quickly to the Royal blue box. Royal reeds have a 'French Cut' which is easily visible as a straight line across the top of the reed where the cut ends. French Cuts help reeds be more consistent so it’s less of a shot in the dark if you’re going to get a good one. Teachers love these!"

Fender X Loog 3 String Stratocaster
"A perfect instrument for kids wanting to learn to play electric guitar. The Loog guitar was made in collaboration with Fender to give young aspiring rock stars their start on an instrument that is easy to learn while still sounding and feeling like a real strat! When paired with the official Hal Leonard Loog method book young students will be well on their way to full rock-stardom! Private music lessons on the Loog are also available!"
