We're kicking off our First Anniversary (of our move to our new location) celebration with a storewide sale and a visit from the Breedlove Bus. This is a mobile showroom Breedlove is sending around the country with a large selection of their fine guitars and mandolins. Get on the bus, try out some instruments--they w...ill also be available to purchase! Breedlove reps will be on hand to answer questions about the instruments and their company. If you've been considering buying a Breedlove instrument that we haven't had in stock, this may be your chance!
Weather-permitting, we'll also be having a BBQ outside. Come out for some burgers & dogs (veggie options of course) and good times!
We'll be staying open until 7 on June 1st, and the bus will be here all day.
Our storewide sale runs through June 15. See http://www.hmtrad.com/HMT/move-sale.html for details.
Celebrating 1 year in our new location, and a visit from the Breedlove mobile showroom.
