Yamaha STAGEPAS 100BTR Portable Bluetooth PA System

Yamaha STAGEPAS 100BTR Portable Bluetooth PA System

"The StagePas100BTR is an incredible new portable PA from Yamaha. Its rechargeable battery, Bluetooth capabilities, and two input jacks make this a perfect speaker for almost ANY situation. Hotspot for a drummer or vocalist? School/team meetings? Busking outdoor guitar/vocals? Small space rehearsal? Back yard BBQ?! This is a simple amp everyone should own."

Legere European Cut Bb Soprano Clarinet Reeds

Legere European Cut Bb Soprano Clarinet Reeds

"These reeds have really come into their own as the leader in providing a consistent sound with little to no resistance. As a clarinetist, I hated buying a box of Vandoren reeds only to throw away half. With the European Cut Synthetic reeds, I can play with a good sound for a month or more without worrying about having to shave down or break in my reed for excellent tone quality.

"Tired of getting grease all over your hands when lubing your horn? This slide oil has a squeeze applicator, and keeps your slides lightning quick. Lifesaver for students and pros alike!"

Audio Technica Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone

Audio Technica Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone

"Having troubles getting a mic to work with your computer? This is the perfect option. Great for streaming and videos with an easy USB plugin. Perfect for someone who needs a solid mic, but doesn’t wanna invest in an interface."

Dunlop Guitar Polish & Cleaner

Dunlop Guitar Polish & Cleaner

"Dunlop Polish Formula No. 65 is not just for guitars! It is the best cleaner polisher for lacquered brass that I’ve found! I use it weekly on my vintage lacquered saxophone to clean and protect the delicate finish. Try it on your sax, trumpet, trombone or any epoxy or nitro-cellulose lacquer finish!"

- Richard

- Lowe







Yamaha P-125a Digital Piano

Yamaha P-125a Digital Piano


"It's our best selling digital piano. It never goes out of tune, it's portable, and you can use it with headphones. A super flexible way of enjoying playing piano."

Portastand Minstrel 2.0 Music Stand

Portastand Minstrel 2.0 Music Stand

"Have you ever wanted a stand that let's you practice anywhere!? This is the stand for you. The detachable top has a kickstand that allows you to practice with just the top or the full stand. On the couch at the coffee table? In the comfort of your bed? At music hall. The Portastand has it all!"

- Erik






Line 6 RELAY G10II Digital Guitar Wireless System

Line 6 RELAY G10II Digital Guitar Wireless System

“The Line 6 Relay wireless system is one of the easiest ways to go wireless. If it’s for practice or performance, Line 6 has made it super simple for musicians to plug and play. Literally. No pesky body packs, and no having to worry about changing batteries thanks to the transmitter being rechargeable!”

- Chico

PROFormance P745 Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone

PROFormance P745 Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone

"This microphone has almost entirely replaced my Shure SM58 as my main vocal/do-it-all microphone. It's incredibly clear and responsive for vocals, and records anything from drum sounds to guitar tones with ease at a very attractive price point. Swing by our store and ask us to show it off, you won't be disappointed!"

- Chase






Legere Reeds

Legere Reeds


"Légère reeds have flown off the shelf this year. It's a fantastic option for marching band players or doublers since the reed is always ready to play. No reed prep needed!"
