When you hear the words, "string quartet," you probably think of classical chamber music first. You might find it surprising that such an ensemble can very effectively entertain by presenting pop music before audiences in the most varied venues of the modern concert scene. This is proven by these very special compositions. They are original compositions written for students who up until now have not only heartily greeted their conception but also had lots of fun and success performing them, which will certainly continue in the future as well. At the innumerable occasions open to student ensemble performance -- whether it be a recital, the opening of an exhibition, a concert in a gallery or another appropriate musical event -- a string quartet performing pop music is always a very welcome change.

I think that every household should have a buffalo horn. We are now the proud owners of a fine horn which we obtained from Lark in the morning. It will be handy for calling in the children from play, and signaling to the neighbors across the river.
This chieftain ain’t bad. I would say situated in between intermediate and professional grade. A little bit thick but not too thick. I’m happy with this purchase
The skins are as beautiful as can be expected. I'll be using them for canvas in an art project in 2026. I'll be a returning customer.
I bought this 30 inch frame drum about 3 years ago (2022 I think) for use in drum circles and also for recording. It’s incredible! I wanted a drum that people could not just hear, but also feel. This one fulfills that promise very powerfully, so I call it the Boneshaker. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments about it at drum circles. It helps to hold the rhythm together very well. By playing the drum harmonics, I can find at least 3 tones to it, more depending on how I tune it. I’ve had dozens of drums and over a hundred percussion instruments over the years, but this is in the top 1% of my all time favorites. I even painted the head and it’s beautiful! Everyone at the drum circles loves it.
I bought this bodhran after I broke my more decorative one while protesting. I’m one of four women who are Drumming for Democracy every week at our local Saturday protest.
