Halfway Through June Already!

It's one of those years that's going to just fly right by, isn't it? Can you believe we are in the middle of June already??

That means a few things:

Brrrr...

1. After next Wednesday, the days will start to get longer again (yay!)

2. Three more months of this freezing weather (not so yay)

3. More importantly, we are halfway through our 24th Birthday Sale already!

So that means there are still quite a few great bargains left, but some have already left the building (queue Elvis joke).

Our Bargain Bin table is looking a little depleted!

What's left in our Bargain Bins

But as some things go out the door, others arrive, and we are very excited about our new Casio Keyboards that came this week.  Check out the new MZW series keyboards in both Black and Blue...

...and the new XW series synthesisers, with amazing new features. Imagine the sounds you could make with these babies!

Other people have had an exciting week too: Remember our new friends, Tasman Guitars? Their website has just been launched, and you can get all the delicious info and photos and everything you could possibly want there (except the guitars themselves of course, that's where we come in!).

Tasman Guitars' new website, featuring Yours Truly!

By the way, have you joined us in our Facebook Group yet?? If you're not a goupy (groupie??) type Facebooker, you can always follow our Page, that's where the magic happens ;)

That about wraps us up for this Friday, so make sure you wrap yourself up well and brave the cold to come and see us. (Remember we are Queenslanders, so by cold we mean sometimes it gets down as low as 20°C!!)

You could be playing this Enrico Quarter Size Double Bass TODAY!

Here’s a shot of our Enrico ¼ size Laminated Student bass. It’s right ready to move to your home or school after having had some pre-delivery time in the String Tech workshop. 

We would like to share our thoughts on this great little bass in the hope you will understand why we stock and endorse the Enrico product. 

Firstly, the Enrico brand is aimed fair and square at the entry point student level so price is important, they are affordable. Supplied with bow [German or French frog optional] and a robust padded bag, the outfit is great value. Other noteworthy features include quality machine heads for accurate tuning and a bridge with height adjusting wheels which allow string height to be varied according to prevailing atmospheric conditions. The endpin assembly is heavy duty, deliberately fashioned to cope with those careless moments young players experience too often. But that’s not all…. 

Decades of experience at the importer level have seen Enrico basses evolve from very humble beginnings to the robust instruments we now use. How has this happened? 

Year by year, the product has been refined, re-working features which have proved unsuitable. Material thickness, so important for tonal projection, have been modified relevant to model size. A Solid Spruce Top version has been added. Varnish treatment has been updated after market feedback. Factory string selection has been reviewed and updated. Finally, and all importantly, packaging and freight handling have been re-worked to minimize damage during shipping. Losses due to careless freight treatment are now rare. 

With four models of violins/violas, two models of cellos and basses, Enrico has become the most accessible, affordable student stringed instrument range currently available in Australia. At The Music Spot, we support the best product in it’s class, That’s ENRICO…

This week at The Music Spot: First in Australia to bring you Tasman Guitars!

They are so new, their website is still on it's way!

But we have eight of these beauties right here in our Browns Plains superstore, just waiting for you to come and try them out.

Tasman Guitars in store now at The Music Spot

From the Admiral series we have the TA300-E, which features solid Mahogany back and layered Mahogany sides, producing balanced warm tones, strong volume and good treble response.

The Captain series guitars are made with Rosewood back and sides for louder volume and bass response - the perfect range for acoustic performers. We have several to choose from, including the TA200GS-CE, the TA200O-E and the TA200-E.

But Tasman also produce a genuine workhorse range, the Seeker series, built for performance and dependability. Featuring Sapele back and sides for a rich and warm sound and clear treble tones, we have the TA100, TA100-CE and two Parlour size guitars, the TA100P and TA100P-E.

Did we mention that all Tasman guitars come with a premium hard case to protect your new guitar?

The Tasman Guitar Co. is dedicated to the pursuit of innovation and excellence in guitar making, for serious and pro players who want a unique voice through a unique guitar. The instruments they produce reflect this dedication and innovation, and they are determined to provide our customers with the best experience, from the first moment they decide to look for a new guitar.

Tasman Guitars. The journey begins now.

From their Facebook page to their Instagram, these guitars are about to hit Australia in a big way, and guitar playing will never be the same again. You can follow this exciting journey by following The Music Spot on Facebook or Instagram, or visiting us instore to try them for yourself.

What a week it's been at The Music Spot!

First up on Monday we celebrated Chris turning 21, and YES there was cake!

Happy Birthday Chris!

We had (as always!) a few floor layout reshuffles, and redesigned our Acoustic area. I personally think it looks great - check out our multi-layered approach: 









Three levels of Acoustic Guitars - lots to choose from! 











In other departments, Johnny was excited to report that we now have the Yamaha PSRS970 back in stock - this is a special instrument so be sure to come have a play for yourself.

A few more things came in, a few more things went out, and life goes on. If you haven't been to our superstore in Browns Plains, Queensland then you are definitely missing out!

Drum Department Reborn

The boys have been busy rebirthing the Drum Department into something - we think - fabulous!

The newest addition to the Music Spot family, Chris has brought with him a touch of showmanship and organised the department into an easy-to-navigate, organised, and great-looking shopping experience.

Chris surveying his kingdom

Chris says "We were aiming to show the best quality products in the best possible way" of the new design. As well as easily accomplishing that, there are some great deals to be had too, so we suggest that you head down to Browns Plains to check out these little gems for yourself!
