Why "Ashantee
WHY "ASHANTEE?"
"Ashantee" (pronounced "ASH-en-tee") was the name given by the native Americans to an area of upstate New York where Nathan's parents owned The Old Creamery Bookshop And Emporium. Our shop was named in honor of them, their long hours of labor to feed eight children, and the many lessons I learned under their care.

DO YOU RENT INSTRUMENTS?
We encourage musicians to be good stewards of what God has provided, and that rarely includes renting an instrument. In almost all cases, purchasing a good, used instrument is wiser in the long run, even if only for a couple of months. If you are a parent wanting advice on finding an instrument for your beginning student, please feel free to ask!

Certainly! Please see click here to see our instrument trial policy.
DO YOU DO INSTRUMENT REPAIRS?
Our instrument repair services are not available to the public at this time.
