J&R is Quietly Making Noise with Musical Instruments

For the budding guitar soloist, try the Eterna ET112 by Yamaha (pictured above) or the classic-style electro-acoustic by Oscar Schmidt. And for the budget-conscious, Lola, Delia, and Sheena guitars by First-Act are now available at special prices. A step up in quality is the Oscar Schmidt OG6S dreadnought.

Your kid might begin a long career with a 37-key Casio mini keyboard, then graduate to a Yamaha DGX220 (pictured above) full-size 76-key Portable Grand. The polished musician can go on the road with a portable microX Korg synthesizer. Choose from electronic keyboards from Casio, Yamaha, Korg, Roland, or M-Audio. And here’s the real deal: order a Korg TR61 Music Workstation and get a coupon for either a free PadKONTROL MIDI studio controller, an EXB-SMPL sampling upgrade, or a mini-KP dynamic effects processor (good thru 6/1/08).

The area of greatest growth at JR.com is inexpensive USB and FireWire equipment. Check out the Roland M-10DX 10-channel mixing box, or the Tascam US-144 (pictured above) portable audio/MIDI interface.

Make your own recordings with the Alesis Fusion 6HD 61-key USB sequencer (pictured above) and pro recording workstation. Record guitar and vocals on your computer with the M-Audio Fast Track USB, complete with effects. The Zoom H4 by Samson is a mobile field stereo recorder, which fits in your hand and can record on a 2GB SD card. There’s even an iPod mixer, the Alesis iMultiMix 8, with an integrated iPod dock for direct-to-iPod 8-channel recording.

J&R also has microphones by Samson and Behringer, and amps by Roland and Marshall. Gadgets include expression and sustain pedals by M-Audio and Yamaha.

And if you need keyboard or guitar stands, interface cables, D’Addario guitar strings, drum machines, drumsticks, drum sets, clarinets, flutes, or violins, you know where to go.

And lastly, consider First-Act’s Band In A Bucket. It includes a wood kazoo, tambourine, spirit bell, egg shaker, jingle tap, castanet, and harmonica. For brave parents only.

Tube Amps for Guitar at J&R

Marshall stacks? Vox amps? The Orange Tiny Terror? Long Live Rock!!! These British amplifiers have been behind the sound of Rock & Roll for almost 50 years. From The Beatles to The Ramones, Queen to KISS, these all-tube amplifiers are still the # 1 choice of every concert stage and recording studio today. Plug in at J&R's Musical Instruments Department and hear the sweet chime of the Vox AC15H1TV combo or the glorious crunch of a 100 watt Marshall JVM410 full-stack. For the latest in digital modeling technology check out the Vox VT30 and the Fender FM212DSP. If you don't want to wake the neighbors you can find solid-state practice combos like the Marshall MG10KK Kerry King Signature amp and battery-powered portable amps for the traveling musician like the Roland Cube Street. For the Bass guitarist, get that fat classic tone of the 60's and 70's with the Marshall MB150 combo and high-powered professional touring rigs by Hartke and Fender. From the bedroom beginner to the big stage, J&R can supply the juice for those about to ROCK!!!
