Greetings from House of Musical Traditions!

We've got a couple of special sales to tell you about:

Better Guitars For Everyone Sale:

Looking to upgrade your acoustic guitar? We've discounted prices on all Larrivee and Sheeran By Lowden guitars, select Breedlove models and select used guitars. Check out the sale here.

Summer Djembe Sale:

We recently got a large order of high-quality djembe drums from Ghana, and are offering discounts through Labor Day of $50 off large size, and $40 off medium (sale prices start at $200). There are over 40 drums to choose from! These aren't listed on our website, so stop in or give us a call.

Calling all folks interested in traditional Irish music!

We recently became the US distributor for the newly-published Martin Mulvihill's Collection of Traditional Irish Music. Martin released Volume 1 in 1986, but the remaining 3 volumes were never published until now. Over 2,300 tunes and tune settings!

Our trial period special is back in effect! Rentals start at $15 for the first two months, with low monthly rates thereafter. Get a jump on your child's school music program (or rent a string or wind/brass instrument for yourself)! Get more info & complete your online rental here.
