We are delighted and proud to announce the release of a new single, written by Becky Gors and Terry Jacobs, to help raise awareness for caregivers of people suffering with Alzheimer’s and dementia. It’s a difficult road to walk. As their loved one’s disease progresses they become more isolated because of the behavioral changes and care demands. Reach out to the caregivers and include them however you can 💕💕💕.

Recorded and produced at TMB,
All instrumentation by Johnny Butten

We have new stock arrived, of Stringjoy strings! As musicians we see so many 'new, improved, better, or best' products and most of the time it's a similar thing just rebranded.
But, a few months ago we decided to try the "Stringjoy' strings, on guitars, banjo and mandolin.
We were, and still are truly amazed! We are always skeptical about new products claiming to achieve something that the other brands can't, but in this case, we are not only impressed, we are converts.
All our instruments are now fitted with 'Stringjoy' strings.

Currently in stock we have

Stringjoy Naturals | Medium Gauge (13-56) Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings $13.99 set

Stringjoy Naturals | Light Gauge (12-54) Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings $13.99 set

Stringjoy Signatures | Banjo Medium Gauge (10-23) Nickel Wound 5 String Banjo Strings $7.99

Stringjoy Naturals | Heavy Gauge (14-59) Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings $13.99

Stringjoy Naturals | Medium Gauge (11-40) Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Strings $11.99
