My Project

We are fortunate to have a number of quality instruments in our inventory. I'd like to protect them for many years to come, so replacing a few cases at a time is a great way to do that. Protec Trumpet cases are just what we need to help maintain the current condition of the instruments on the shelf.

Having violin mutes and saxophone reeds on hand lets me focus more on the important things in rehearsal rather than spending time problem solving for students who cannot afford these basic materials.

Percussion equipment by its very nature wears out over time. It is now time to replace nearly all of our cymbal felts and washers. That is a necessary thing in the drumming world - replace it before it fails.
