Toms music store
Sandton, braamfontein, bloem and durban
 
Depending on what you buy it might be cheaper to import. A friend of mine imported a Yamaha jazz trumpet for about 15k, including shipping, a few mutes, and extra oil. The cheapest local quote he could get was something in the 30k.

Musical Instruments for sale and hire Skysun Pty ltd
( online and some stock/imports cape town )

Skysun Pty Ltd has been in business 20 years online being one of the first online stores. We started providing musical instruments Like Casio keyboards which had not been sold yet online selling and also our own imported brand "Courante", both affordable as wel as high quality brass, wind, strings and other brands musicial instruments, eventually selling most brands as we do today.

SOCiAL ENTREPENEUR

Skysun Pty Ltd has been for many years also Social Entrepeneur enterprise. We have run several community hunger relief projects in Cape town shown on our Circle of Compassion Website


Although our involvement is mostly our time, enumeration, and promoting a greater awareness of poverty through our on the ground projects in the cape peninsual and greater retreat , we do when we are able sell a few music instruments below in this category to raise funds ffrom skysun clients too


Having Taught music and performing for 15 years before we are well placed to judge the quality, the longetivity and ease of playing of musical instruments and distinguish between good affordable instruments vs poor quality, and are proud to avoid selling all poor quality instruments.
 
So I borrowed my kick drum pedal to some useless fool. The guy gave me the run around, had to stop playing for some time and after a very long months of asking for my pedal back, I contacted his brother who managed to get it back for me however this fool broke or simply removed the chain!!!!! I have no idea. Anyone know where I can source just the chain? Sucks that it's a very specific chain, don't even know what spec on it.

Below is what I have for now just to get back into it. :ROFL:

can someone explain this to me

 
can someone explain this to me

Easy - neither you nor I can afford it, ergo: no problem!

That thing wanna make some sweet sound for that price!
 
its literally just the cartridge, not even a headshell

I've seen turntables for that price (and more) which I thought was over the top, but just the cartridge is insane- it can't be justified

I would like to see if someone could hear the difference between these carts and a decent one.
