A couple of freshly padded Buescher tenor classics to add to our wall. A 1945 "Big B" Aristocrat, and 1951 "Top Hat & Cane" 400. We love these horns and their classic big and bold sound!

Need a piccolo? 🎶

Tom Garcia came in today. We’re helping create the world’s first straight bari sax.

I would like to sincerely thank our loyal friends and customers for your continued support during these unfortunate times. Thanks to all of you, we are still in business. We’re all hoping for better times ahead. God bless you all. Rusty, Georgia, Bryan, Edgar, Fermin, Santiago and John.

Selmer CT, matching Bb & A, full Boehm. I had never seen a set like this before. No cracks!

Please welcome back to the block! Please call us anytime to schedule an appointment/pickup/dropoff/repair with us. We still aren't out of the woods, and most of our clientele is still struggling, but it feels great to put the OPEN sign back on. 10% discounts are still being offered on repair services and anything else we can do to help our musicians. Stay up and stay healthy every one.

We are taking the day off tomorrow, to observe NO Labor Day. Enjoy a wonderful day with your family and friends.

Here's a real museum piece at the shop now...

We have a very special horn that we are confident belonged to the great Jimmy Dorsey.

According to Stohrer Music:
"The 'Dorsey Model' was a special edition, made in extremely low numbers concurrently with the Balanced Action model. The story goes that Jimmy Dorsey liked the feel of the Radio Improved keywork (left hand bell keys and old style left hand pinky table) that they made a special run of horns that are basically Balanced Action body tubes and necks with Radio Improved bells, left hand pinky tables, and bell-to-body braces."

Come check this horn out the next time your by the shop! Tell us J.D. sent ya! ✌️🎷
