Uke Mania
Ukuleles are sweeping the nation. Blues players, metal heads, pop princesses, crooners, country devotees, and literally every other style of music lover are latching onto the Uke and making a little magic. Every age group is thoroughly represented. After looking into it more thoroughly than ever before, I was stunned by the sheer mind blowing amount of people getting into this. Some of the results are quite impressive. Some are pretty goofy too!
On our website I have compiled a little sampling of videos which illustrates a little of this craze. Here's a link to the video entrance to >Uke Mania.

Budda Has Arrived


UKES GALORE, They Just Arrived
Because Ukuleles have become so popular here, and because so many request them after they have sold out, we brought a whole gaggle of them into the store. They come in different sizes, naturally many colors and woods, and some have pickups in them. The multi-colored ones even come with a little gig bag and an instruction booklet. If you would like to know why musicians, hobbyists, and pure beginners have become so interested in these little wonders, take a peek at some of the videos on this page. You will be very surprised by the things people do with a Uke.

BOSE now available at World Music Nashville
New directions in live sound
More than just a new type of loudspeaker, the Bose L1 portable line array systems provide a completely different approach to live sound. Using proprietary Bose technology, L1 systems combine PA and monitors into a single, highly portable unit that can be positioned behind or to the side of individuals onstage. This novel approach to amplification helps eliminate most of the issues with conventional PA systems—including excessive reverberation and extreme volume on and near the stage.
Lightweight, interlocking components help make the Bose L1 systems especially easy to transport and set up. And their distinctive vertical loudspeaker enclosures don't require separate speaker stands.
Available: Bose L1 Compact system, Bose L1 Model I single bass package, Bose L1 Model II single bass package with ToneMatch audio engine, Bose T1 ToneMatch audio engine, Bose B1 Bass Module.
The Bose products are in the 'Amps' section of the website.
