FEATURED PRODUCTS

CruzTOOLS GTDMT1 Groove Tech Multi-Tool Drum    $18.95*
Drums take a beating. Literally. Such abuse means ongoing adjustment and repair - even during a performance, the GrooveTech quickly remedies problems on virtually all makes and models of drums. It includes a drum key, a 5mm slotted and #1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver and a collection of both inch and metric hex wrench sizes to handle pedals and other hardware.

Acoustic Guitar Strap Holder   $19.99*

Many acoustic guitars only have one button strap holder. So for generations guitarists have used shoe strings to attach the guitar strap to the guitar. The problem with the shoe string is that a stress point is created on the string because of the way the guitar hangs. The stress point on the shoe string frays and breaks. 

The Acoustic Guitar Strap Holder is made of 100% full grain American leather and is considered a "luxury gift." 


Pork Pie Round Drum Throne  $159.99*

The Pork Pie drum throne is arguably the best seat for a drummer. In musician-speak, it's called a "throne."  It is extra-thick, providing more comfort while seated...especially for long period of times.  Pork Pie drum thrones can be found in most music stores and online. 

Road Runner 7 Guitar Stand Flight Case  $129.99*

If your musician is a guitar player who tours or even plays a lot around town, the  Road Runner 7-Guitar Stand with its own flight case is perfect. It holds 7 acoustic, electric, or bass guitars in any combination. The stand folds into a guitar-sized flight case with chrome-plated ball corners, butterfly locks and aluminum-reinforced edges. Plush velvet interior prevents scratches. 

Ukulele or Banjo  $39 - $3,000*

Ukuleles and Banjos are hot instruments right now. Made popular by musicians like Taylor Swift and Mumford and Sons, these "old" instruments are making a resurgence among young musicians. They range in price from as low as $39 all the way up to $3,000+. 


 Bubble Gum Pink Deluxe Flute Case Cover   $39.99*

This flute case has attitude!  Made by Protec, this Deluxe Flute Case Cover keeps out unwanted cold and moisture, protects your case from bumps and scratches, and offers the benefits of a gig bag. Features an extremely durable nylon exterior, large exterior pocket, 2 carry handles, long-lasting custom zippers, padded interior lined with soft nylex, removable shoulder strap with strong lightweight plastic hardware, I.D. tag, and rubberized feet.
