With the snow starting to fly (grr) and heaters turning on, wooden instruments are suffering because of the lack of humidity in the air. Tuning pegs are starting to slip or stick. Instruments that originally had no trouble staying in tune now need to be tuned constantly. The best thing to do right now to keep your instrument happy is to keep it humidified.

Dampits are the best thing to use during the winter months. Dampits typically start at about $9.00. They are a long, green sponge that can be inserted in the f-hole of your instrument. Simply soak the Dampit, wipe off the excess water, and carefully slide it into your instrument.

That's ok, because this package allows you to create a studio where you have space: your basement, a spare bedroom, in the corner of the living room, etc.

We are approaching our 1 year anniversary on our new line of Westwood guitars and what better way to celebrate but to create a useful, affordable package for you!

"Wait…useful? Shouldn't all packages have useful items in them?"

Yes, useful! There are many guitar packages out there that are full of items that you will never use. Some come with items that would normally be helpful, like a beginner guitar book, but end up becoming not-so-useful because the book wasn't good.
