Welcome to Homestead Online!

WE'RE NOW ON FACEBOOK.  No, it's not a result of the earthquake in Baja, California and we're definitely not becoming techno-geeks, but we have kicked at the traces of Ludditism.  Paul Hatch blazed the way when he started the Homestead Pickin' Parlor ‘Preciation Society Facebook Group from his Facebook profile some months ago.   It seems there's been some interest in that group, so we have started our own page.   Paul will continue to manage the group page and will play a role in keeping our page up to date.  We'll try not to have duplication between the two efforts, but stop by when you get a chance and if you like what you see, become a fan.  The information on the Facebook page will be different from what you receive in the newsletter and you get a chance to provide us some feedback on Facebook.  We'll also keep you informed of the goings on at Homestead via photos.  Go figure!  Our Web Site also continues in force.  People in the know simply say we're going viral.

Click the Facebook logo to go to our page and join as a Fan.

Steve Kaufman
Workshops

 April 2 through 5, 2011

OK, so you missed Steve Kaufman this time -- April 2010 -- for his ninth annual visit to the Homestead Pickin’ Parlor® to conduct his world renowned Guitar and Mandolin instruction workshops. 

The good news is that we've already scheduled Steve to come back in 2011 for his tenth annual visit, and we're announcing it right now, so you can mark your calendar.  Details will be posted on the site in January.


The Hottest Thing in Tuners

The PT10 Clip-On Tuner from Intellitouch

Clip-on tuners have become ubiquitous in the music world in recent years. If you’ve not yet added one to your musical bag of tricks, intellitouch, the makers of the original clip-on tuner have now given you a good reason for waiting – The PT10.

The PT-10 features the now familiar LCD Screen that tells you what note you’re closest to, but it changes color from red to green when you’re in tune. It is accurate to within one cent. It has a seven octave range from 27Hz to 1,760Hz. At 2” by 1” by ¾” it weighs in at a mere 2 ounces. A standard CR2032 Lithium coin cell will provide 10 hours of continuous operation. An A-ref button will allow you to adjust the reference pitch from 430Hz to 450Hz.

And we’ve saved the best for last. Intellitouch offers a LIFETIME WARRANTY on the PT-10. In their own words “should this product no longer perform as originally intended due to wear, workmanship or even accidental damage, return it postage prepaid and we will repair or replace it at our option”

It’s available now - $ 39.95

Prices May Change -- Please Call

Recently a customer came in to get a book, and the price on the web site was less than the current price.  This sometimes happens when a product is carried on the web site without looking at prices.  Therefore, please don't rely on the web price we show.  If you call (a good idea just to make sure we have your item in stock), ask for the current price.

In other words, prices are subject to change without notice.  (Where have you seen that before?).


Keep us up to date and spread the word.  Not surprisingly, we've found that folks change their internet providers (hence their e-mail addresses) much more often than they do their snail mail addresses.  Should you do so, please drop us a note and let us know where to re-direct our e-mail newsletters.  In the world of acoustic music, we can't afford to lose contact with a single one of our friends in the music.  And if you enjoy reading our periodic e-mail newsletters, forward a copy to one or more of your friends.  Have them send us their snail mail address, along with their e-mail address, and we'll keep them up to date on Homestead happenings as well. 


Please pass along the Homestead URL -- www.homesteadpickinparlor.com -- to others. If they would like to receive the e-mail newsletter too, have them e-mail Homestead with their snail mail and electronic addresses as well as a phone number. We'll make sure the next issue heads their way.

"At Homestead Pickin' Parlor, meeting the musical needs of acoustic music
fans has never been an afterthought. It has always been our only thought."
