🔥 WE’RE BACK — AND JUST IN TIME FOR BACK TO SCHOOL! 🔥

It’s been a little quiet around MDS while we took some time to recover from being a little under the weather, but we’re back, we’re stocked, and we’re ready to get back at it!

🎷 BACK TO SCHOOL? WE’VE GOT YOU.
Reeds, drumsticks, rosin, cleaning supplies, accessories and all those little essentials that somehow disappear right when you need them.

🎸 GUITAR & BASS PLAYERS — THIS IS WHERE MDS SHINES.
We’ve built one of the best pedal and pedalboard selections around, with gear from MXR, JHS, EarthQuaker Devices, MONO, Voodoo Lab, Pedaltrain and more.

And don’t forget the essentials. Strings, cables, straps, stands, maintenance products and accessories from brands like Stringjoy, MusicNomad, Dunlop, Ernie Ball, D’Headhunter, Hog, Hercules, MONO, Blackstar and more.

🥁 🎹 🪕 NOT A GUITAR PLAYER? WE DIDN’T FORGET ABOUT YOU.
We carry a little something for just about every musician, including products from Korg, Evans, Promark, Headhunters, RTOM, Kala, Gator, Hosa and plenty more.

MDS is a small, independent mom-and-pop music shop — but that doesn’t mean we have a small selection.

We’ve worked hard to bring in the brands musicians actually want, whether you’re grabbing a pack of strings, getting ready for the school year, rebuilding a pedalboard, or hunting for your next piece of gear.

🤘 Small shop. Big brands. Gear we actually believe in.

Stop in, give us a call, or check us out online.

MDS is back. Let’s make some noise. 🎸🔥
We are located at 9114 Virginia Rd, Ste 101, Lake in the Hills, IL
