Hi everybody! Here’s hoping all had a wonderful New Year’s and are rolling into 2009 rested and ready. Here at the store we have awesome consignment deals on some unique instruments. We’re selling a Montana acoustic-electric guitar, perfect for advancing beginners, for only $160. We have a Washburn archtop guitar that we’re selling for only $400, about $100 cheaper than usual.

We’re also selling a super-cool 6-string violin guitar—think of the viola bass Paul McCartney played but imagine it as a guitar—for less than $300. We’re selling an amazingly versatile little 30 watt Crate amplifier packed with built-in effects for less than $250.

And, finally, we’re selling a beautiful 25th Anniversary edition Ovation guitar with wonderful electronics and a full, punchy sound, for only $675, nearly half off its original $1200 price-tag. It comes complete with its own hardshell case. You really ought to see it, and all the rest of our groovy deals, live and in person.

As always, we carry a great selection of beginner guitars and offer beginner-friendly lessons. If you’re one of the noble souls who made a New Year’s resolution to learn to play an instrument, let us help you make that dream come true. You can do it. We’d love to help. Have a merry January, and a happy…uh… February. Keep practicing! See you on the beach in June!

Much love,

Christmas music’s coming to town!

Without a moment to lose, the Flatts and Sharpe book room is now featuring a selection of high-quality, hand-picked, Yuletide tunes for you and your family.

We’re stocking holiday-friendly fake books, carol anthologies, guitar transcriptions, beginner-appropriate piano music, two-tunes-in-one sheet music, and other priceless bits of early-winter musical goodness. Come check it out! Remember also that if you can’t find a tune you want on the shelves, we can order it for you, or even download a printable copy straight from the publisher.

You might not have known it, but we carry lots of band instrument accessories. If you need a strap for your saxophone, valve oil for your trumpet, or a stand for your clarinet, we’ve got you covered. We have maintenance kits for all sorts of different horns, a wide variety of reeds, brass mouthpieces, and lots of sheet music and fake books to satisfy all your jamming needs.

Come here to find the perfect gift for that wind or brass player on your holiday shopping list.

Don’t know what to give your musician for the holidays? How about a gift certificate!

Finally, we’re just weeks away from the Second Annual Flatts & Sharpe Recital. We’ll be at the Morseland on Saturday, December 6, from 5 pm until 8. Please join us and see how much fun learning and playing music can be.

"Hello friends of Flatts & Sharpe!

As usual, we have a number of exciting things going on here at the store. Our lesson program continues to grow and prosper, and we couldn’t be more proud of our wonderful students. We like to keep our teachers busy, and our new extra-large lesson room is ready for action, so please recommend us to your friends and family. Remember, we offer lessons on piano, percussion, drum-kit, and basically every string instrument (sorry!—no sitars or balalaikas).

On that topic, our annual recital is quickly approaching. This year we will be celebrating our students’ progress at the Morseland, on December 6. The festivities begin at 5 o’clock and run until around 8. Come join us for a great time!

The Music Hour, our new toddler program, is well underway, and has so far been super fun. It is designed for newborns to toddlers (up to four years old,) and brings music and books together in a cozy, relaxed environment. If you are not a parent yourself but have a toddler in your life, we have gift certificates available to give your friends or family. This is an exciting opportunity to turn little people on to music early, so sign up soon. There are only a few spots left!

For information on our rates, either for the Music Hour or for private lessons, check out our website—flattsandsharpe.com—or just stop by the store.

We’d love to see you"!
