FEATURED ARTICLE

In 1939, Igor Stravinsky emigrated to the United States, first arriving in New York City, before settling in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he delivered the Charles Eliot Norton lectures at Harvard. While living in Boston, the composer conducted the Boston Symphony and, on one famous occasion in 1944, he decided to conduct his own arrangement of the The Star-Spangled Banner, which he made out a desire to do his bit in those grievous times toward fostering and preserving the spirit of patriotism in this country.

IN THE BASSMENT

Since its introduction in 1987, the StingRay 5 has been heralded as one of the most innovative bass designs. And now, EBMM will build the special run of instruments with an ash body, spalted top, and a thin veneer of figured maple for accent. Its roasted, figured maple neck has an ebony fretboard with copper pearlescent block inlays. It also has black hardware and a 3-band EQ.
