Greetings from House of Musical Traditions!
Like many of you, we have been looking for ways to help the people of Ukraine during this terrible conflict. A local contact of ours with connections in Ukraine recommended the Tabletochki Foundation, a charity in Kyiv that helps child cancer patients and their families receive medical care and assistance. Though there are other important causes helping with humanitarian efforts and refugee aid, this war will have long-term impacts on families, medical care, and children’s health - especially with attacks on hospitals. This vetted organization will continue their mission in the aftermath of this conflict.
HMT will be donating 10% of our sales totals on Saturday, March 12 (in-store, through http://hmtrad.com and our Reverb store), plus an additional $500, to Tabletochki. Please join us in supporting them by making a purchase with us on that day, spreading the word, and/or donating directly. Thank you!
More announcements:
Starting Tuesday March 8, in accordance with improving COVID metrics in Montgomery County, masks will now be suggested - but not required - to be worn inside the store. Many of our staff members are choosing to continue wearing masks. Customers may wear a mask or not, depending on their preference. We are continuing to frequently sanitize surfaces, cleaning instruments after being played, and are encouraging frequent hand-washing in the store. We are also providing curbside or car-side service to customers who prefer not to enter the store (just call us when you arrive) - and are continuing to offer local delivery for orders and repairs.
We are still processing a large number of used instruments for sale from various estate acquisitions. It's never been a better time to visit the store - we have tons of wonderful inventory, and great deals on some barely-used and high-quality vintage instruments. See our New Arrivals collection for the latest; there's even more in the store not yet listed online.
