Musical Instruments & Handicrafts

The local music is always an integral part of any culture; here at Mermaid Imports we strive to spread knowledge and good cheer through our love of the musical instruments we have. We also have many samples of the music of other cultures represented in our CD collection. There is an eclectic collection of other handicrafts represented in our store as well. Some of these are featured in the pictures below, sharing space with our traditional and fun-to-play musical instruments.

Just in case you do not already know how to play one of these exotic instruments, we would be happy to provide you with a music book or advice.

Beautiful sitars The didgeridoo is a traditional instrument used by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia. It produces a deep, rolling sound and is generally carved of wood, then painted with traditional designs. We carry many didgeridoos of different sizes. These will exercise your lungs for sure! A couple of our statues are busy guarding these small Indian tabla drums. We also carry larger tablas, an example of which can be seen below. A percussionist's dream as well as an interesting piece to decorate your home.
The CD selection at Mermaid Imports is ever-changing. We strive to find the best examples of local indigenous music, as well as collections that represent the music that can be played on the instruments we carry. Come on in and take a listen.

You may have to move this Polynesian fertility god, but if you do, this larger tabla drum could be yours. Perfect for those who would like a drum for drum circle, or just for a conversation piece.
