Specialties

The Music Inn specializes in exotic and rare instruments, parts and instruction for them, from all around the world. They also make their own original design instruments and computer programs for musicians. NyAsa, the worlds first electronic sympathizer, is a computer program which provides sympathetic responses in one of many voices or instruments to any melody or selected tone. No matter what style of music you play, what instrument, even if you are a singer, you can now enjoy sympathetic accompaniment. The S.D. Limulus Electric Zarode , guitar and basses, built exclusively at the Music Inn, are pioneering not only the next logical step in the evolution of both the traditional sarode and the electric guitar but electric string instrument design in general. The Music Inn Comics, written and draw in the store, provide an unusual insight into this fascinating store and crew in a world wrought with wonder. vist us at www.musicinnonline.com for more info
