Banjos in the Closet.....Oh, My!

YAMS is an authorized Deering Banjo and Weber Mandolin dealer. We keep several in stock - and some of our higher-end instruments are stashed in the "Banjo closet".

These instruments make an excellent investment for any player seeking a quality instrument. They will last a goooood looooooong time, and it's a rare player who will "outgrow" one of these babies.

....and special YAMS pricing makes them that much more attractive. So come on by the store and take a look!

Here's one of these things that are just handy for a musician to have around - an inexpensive, light, desktop music stand. If you don't have room in your place to keep a big music stand around, this is a PERFECT solution to keeping your music upright.

The MacMusicGuy uses on in his project recording studio, and it is extraordinarily handy!

Come on by the store and pick one up - and please SHARE THE WORD!

Need some Band instrument Stuff?

It's midyear, and all those band instruments and supplies that your student is toting around is probably starting to need some attention. 

• Does your trombone player need some slide oil?
• Does your trumpet player need some valve oil?
• How about your little Drummer? Have they broken their sticks yet?
• REEDS REEDS REEDS - you know they are going to need extras! We have reeds for clarinets, saxes, oboe, bassoon......
• ...and for the string players, how about some rosin? Or an upgraded chin rest?
• ...or cleaning cloths for all the above instruments?

We've got you covered at Young America Music - in our [humble but accurate] opinion, Macon & middle Georgia's Best Music Store!
