Deering Banjos @ YAMS



Deering Banjos are in stock - we have several models in stock and ready to play. We usually keep the lower-priced but still excellent-sounding Deering Goodtime series in stock, and also have several of the higher-end models.

You really have to hear the difference a Deering makes! Call or come by and check out the YAMS special pricing!

Write it down!



YAMS staff paper - printed on special stock, with staves on both sides so you can write those musical ideas down before you forget them! This paper has a smooth feel - which makes it NICE to write music. Each sheet is three-hole punched for easy storage in a notebook.

Sure, you could just print some staff paper off on your printer - but it's the paper that makes it NICE to write down. This paper also won't let marker bleed through (so you can still use both sides), and it takes pencil quite well.

We have 2 staff sizes in stock, and it is sold by the sheet or by the pack, so it's easy to pick up exactly how much you need. Come by and pick up some staff paper at a special price!

Elixir strings @ YAMS



Looking for Elixir strings? We have them, in stock and ready to play! Guitarists around town are raving about how long these strings last. They cost a bit more, but are definitely worth it. One of our customers is changing strings FAR less often now that he's using Elixirs.

Casio Privia @ YAMS





We now carry the Casio Privia 88-note weighted digital pianos. This is the keyboard that Tom - one of our piano teachers - recommends for families who only have around $500 to spend on an instrument for their beginning piano student. He says, "While it isn't as good a piano action as a grand piano, it's darn good for $500 - and it only weighs 20-something pounds, AND has a headphone jack! I can play classical on this keyboard, and that's saying something."
