This part doesn't really say much of anything.

Memorial Day Weekend Deals
For Drummers:
Re-Head your entire drum kit with Evans heads for $75!
This offer includes G1 clear heads for toms, G1 coated head for snare, and clear EQ4 head for bass drum. (Standard kit: G1 clear 12, 13, 16, G1 coated 14, EQ4 clear 22 -or- Fusion kit: G1 clear 10, 12, 14, G1 coated 14, EQ4 clear 20)

For Guitarists and Bassists:
Remember that part in the movie where the bad guy lures the hero into a warehouse or something and then the good guy yells, "It's a setup!"? Well we do that here. Only, instead of hoodwinking the good guy, we adjust the action and intonation of your guitar to get it in top playing condition. And when I say "we," I of course mean The Guitar Medic. For this weekend, you can book your guitar or bass setup for the special low place of $25 with your purchase of either 6 packs of guitar strings or 3 packs of bass strings. You'll leave the guitar for The Guitar Medic to work on, and when you pick it up, it will play better than ever! If you haven't had your instrument set up before, you don't know what your're missing.

For New and Existing Students at The Laboratory:
We at the Ministry of Weekly Specials are particularly keen to reward those players who study their craft with our crack team of teachers. As you may well be aware, we have guitar lessons seven days a week. That's because, at The Laboratory, there are seven days in each week. How do we pack 'em in, you ask? By giving each one a unique name. For example, today's name is Jim.

Moving right along, we are offering a guitar special this weekend that we've never done before. It's the step-up guitar deal! Buy any guitar or bass for $250 or more (new or used), and we'll throw in an $80 lesson credit. If you've been eying up the next guitar for your collection, to reward all those hours of practice, this is a way to get more for your money. And here's the weird part: This deal is not limited to guitar and bass students. Even drummers can play along! So take your instrument a step up! And don't forget- you can trade in your old guitar, too!

Guitar, Bass, & Theory Master Classes
The Laboratory is pleased to announce that we are now offering guitar & bass master classes with Dion Paci. Dion is a Berklee College of Music alum who is proficient in many styles on guitar and bass, including blues, rock, soul, and jazz. He's worked with many notable artists, like John Medeski, Bily Martin, Skerik (Les Claypool band), Bernie Worrell (Parliament-Funkadelic, Talking Heads), Dave Dreiwitz (Ween), and many others. Dion is also the teacher of one of our most popular instructors, Joe Lauricella.

Dion can take your playing to the next level, sharpen your music theory and reading skills, or prepare you for admissions auditions at the nation's premier music colleges regardless of the instrument you play.

Weekly half-hour or hour long sessions are available with Dion starting immediately. Call or stop in to make an appointment.
