Getzen Brass Instruments: Horns 100% Made in USA
:: Reasonably Priced :: 100% Made in USA :: Family Owned :: Quality Products ::
Getzen is a company that makes us smile here at US Groove. Makers of fine brass instruments since 1939, Getzen has kept it in the family and in the United States since its birth. Their instruments are made in Elkhorn, WI and no parts of those instruments are imported. They take “Made in America” as seriously as we do and make note of the fact that all their parts are bought from surrounding states: Illinois, Indiana, etc.
Their products are of the highest quality and very reasonably priced for a professional grade horn. Whether you’re starting your trumpet career with a Getzen 390 or you’re blasting swing at a club using an Eterna bass trombone, you can count on Getzen to provide a dependable instrument.
We actually own a Getzen trumpet and we love the sound! Definitely recommend these guys if you’re in the market for brass!!
ALSO, here’s a fantastic message from Getzen about their US made horns.

QMT Wind Chimes: Outstanding Affordable Wind Chimes
:: Great prices :: Huge selection :: Various tunings :: Hand made
QMT makes their amazing wind chimes in Virginia, using locally sourced materials. After we heard the Arias wind chimes in person, we had to retire our old wind chimes that inadvertently played Star Wars imperial tune when the wind blew just right! The Arias we tested out was perfect pitch, and all the bells together created no wavering – it was a pure and beautiful chord, which still sounds perfect five years later! Even the cabling and pieces have withstood many windy seasons.
We highly recommend QMT’s products, and if you ever get a chance, check out their very large chimes – amazing! QMT has several lines under different names which have different tunings, materials, and levels of craft detail. Ranging from 15″ to 74″, Made in USA!

Zildjian: Cymbals and Drummer Accessories
:: Great sounding :: Evolving product line :: Wide variety :: Reasonable pricing ::
Zildjian has been a master cymbal manufacture since 1618. Before the family business moved to America in 1929, Avedis Zildjian originally lived in Constantinople, where he fine-tuned his metal alloy mixtures. His cymbals sounded so spectacular, the Sultan invited him to live at the palace to create for his own elite bands. Since then, the family has carried on the tradition in what they claim is the oldest family owned business in America. With continually new models and alloy blends available, they do not sit still.
Every serious drummer will agree to never skimp in the cymbal department; go to Zildjian! They cover your crash, splash and trash sounds. Also available are drumsticks and mallets, brushes and specialty sticks, bags and cases, band and orchestral gongs and cymbals. They even have finger cymbals for when you want to get your Gypsy on.
Zildjian’s new award-winning Gen16 Acoustic Electric Cymbal System has been heralded as “The Biggest Drum Innovation in 400 Years” in Electronic Musician Editor’s Choice Award.
