We have a true passion for amplifiers, believing that an amplifier is an instrument of its own, one that can drive and inspire someone to play beyond their own imagination.

An ancient proverb states, "If thine enemy wrong thee, buy each of his children a drum." In the spirit of that proverb we offer both acoustic and electric drums for players of all sizes and skill levels.

Haggerty's provides a stellar variety of keyboards and digital pianos for players of every style and level of playing.

Cheaply made band instruments will not only play out of tune but they will break easy and be unrepairable. We carefully select brands that play great, sound great, and won't break your budget.

We are careful when choosing what lines of orchestra instruments we will sell. Many of the inexpensive imports will not even stay in tune! That's why we only carry quality lines of hand made instruments.

Scott Shu-kun Cao is listed among the best-known contemporary violin makers in the world. His instruments are currently in the hands of soloists, famous professional players and collectors. For their tonal quality, Scott's instruments are renowned. For over ten years, Scott Cao has been copying famous violin models. Due to his vast experience, Scott Cao can individually tailor make instruments for any player's tonal requirements. He can vary one particular violin model to meet your preference of tone. For example, if you need a darker powerful tone, Scott can make a "Cannon" del Gesu Guarneri or a "Soil" Strad copy. If you prefer a sweet, clear and open tone, Scott can make a "Kreisler" del Gesu Guarneri or a "David Oistrakh" Strad.

Today, the instrument and bow making workshops of Eastman Strings operate in precisely the same manner as late 19th century European workshops. They have virtually no power tools aside from the band saws used to cut out the necks and the outlines of the tops and backs of instruments. Chisels, knives, gouges, and scrapers, in the hands of outstandingly gifted craftspeople, are the primary tools used to create these modern instruments and bows, using methods centuries old. Thanks to Eastman Strings, string players today have advantages unknown to earlier generations: quality instruments, bows, and cases available world-wide at affordable prices.
