ADDS MEINL CYMBALS!
Come in and ask our drum specialist about Meinl and you can sense his pulse rise. We're all very excited about the addition of Meinl cymbals to our drum department.
Come in and ask for a demonstration today and hear them for yourself!
Founded in 1951 by Roland Meinl. As well as being one of the "big four" cymbal manufacturers (with Paiste, Zildjian and Sabian), they are noted for their fibreglass congas, and plywood gongs, which proved for many percussionists that such modern materials could be used in this musical application, and similar innovations.
Meinl and Paiste are the two main manufacturers of cymbals with a European sound, derived from Turkish as opposed to Chinese cymbal making tradition and seen by some as a subset of the Turkish sound family. The European sound has more consistency, focus and penetration, as opposed to the more blending and individual sounds of more traditional Turkish cymbals.
Other manufacturers have produced professional B8 lines, most notably the Paiste 2002 line, but always alongside more traditional alloys for their top lines. Meinl also make high-end cymbals from B12 bronze.

What Does it Really Cost
to
Shop American Online?
It can be really confusing when you're looking at a $19.95US item from the States online and when it gets to you, it really cost $58.76CDN. What happened? How did it get that expensive when the two currencies are at similar par?
There are many things to consider when ordering things online from the States:
How much does it weigh?
Does it have a "dimensional weight" because of it's size?
What country was it made in?
Will I have to ship it back for warranty?
Duty? Brokerage?
Where did all these extra charges come from?
Here's a web site that will help you decide if the item you're looking at is a good deal or not.
"TheFinalCost.com" is an online calculator to help you estimate the final cost of purchasing items from the USA online and having your order shipped to Canada.
Remember, you will have to pay shipping a "second" time if the unit has to be returned for warranty... yikes!
Be careful, use your common sense; if it seems like too good of a deal, it may be.

JOHN SUHR PICKUPS
AND EFFECTS!
For those of you who are not familiar with John Suhr, here is some background.
John started his building career some 35 years ago in New Jersey. Searching for the perfect tone during his bar band days, he began building his own instruments. In the early 80's John started working for Rudy Pensa at Rudy's Music Stop in NYC. It was during this time that the "Pensa-Suhr" guitars were born. John built guitars under the "Pensa-Suhr" brand for Mark Knopfler, Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Lou Reed, Bill Connors, Steve Stevens, Reb Beach, Pat Thrall, Little Steven, Victor Bailey Pensa-Suhr Bass, Chuck Loeb, Eddie Martinez (Robert Palmer) and many others.
John SuhrWith an obsession for tube amp design, John left NYC to work with Robert Bradshaw in 91' and designed the CAA 3+ and 3+SE tube preamps and CAA OD100 amp with Robert Bradshaw.
Four years later John felt his original calling and accepted a job as Senior Master Builder at the Fender Custom Shop. There he built custom guitars to order and was involved in R&D for new product development.
His clients included and still include Michael Landau, Scott Henderson, Doug Aldrich and Peter Frampton.
