News and Happenings

A little about us...

We are Mike & Paula, the owners of Meadowood Music, a stringed instrument specialty shop that we opened in March of 2000, a place where excellent service & products are the norm, where people make & share music, where high quality musical gear is available at great prices. Originally on Main Street in Kutztown, PA, we moved to our current location on route 222 in Blandon, PA in 2005.

In addition to selling stringed instruments & accessories, we repair them. Mike builds & restores violins and does factory-authorized, warrantee repairs on Martin Guitars. We, with a cadre of excellent musicians, offer high quality musical instruction.

We maintain this website so that people near & far can easily "visit" the store & see our inventory

(we do our best to keep it current). We provide information for amateur & professional musicians & music lovers: care tips for stringed instruments, links to websites that promote live music, contacts for local musicians, info & links for workshops, camps, schools, festivals, radio stations & links to manufacturers that supply Meadowood with its fine wares.

We'd love to hear from you.

WE'RE PROUD TO PARTNER WITH KU PRESENTS!

A RICH COMMUNITY RESOURCE

Kutztown University has brought

superb live music, theater, and dance to our community for nearly 40 years.

-----------------------------

See their 2025-2026 season events in our CALENDAR OF EVENTS (10/26 -4/15)

-----------------------------

Kutztown University began the Performing Artists Series in 1988 with Ellen Finks as Director organizing three professional stage performances for students & the surrounding community. By 1994, the season included seven events. The upcoming season will include thirteen.

In 1995, KU's first Children's Series presented three performances. Since 1998, it has served over 100 schools & community groups, and over 65,000 children in Berks, Lehigh, & surrounding counties.

In 2008, Finks retired. Andrew Cassano took over, and transitioned the program to KU Presents! - a single entity that unified the activities of the Performing Artists Series, Children's Series, & Special Events. At the same time, Schaeffer Auditorium was undergoing an extensive renovation.

In 2013, Robin Zaremski took over the Directorship. Under her guidance, almost all of the KU Presents! events were sell-out performances. When Zaremski departed in 2017, Bryan Zellmer took over as Director, continuing to offer a vibrant variety of events. Upon his departure in 2025, Deborah Justice stepped in as Director.

Under her leadership, KU Presents! continues its mission to be the center of cultural life at KU & the community through professional presentations of innovative and engaging live music, theater, and dance of the highest quality.

We're delighted to have such a rich resource in the community!

KU Presents! has a new web site!

FLY WITH YOUR INSTRUMENT IN ALL 50 STATES

FAA MODERNIZATION AND REFORM ACT OF 2012

Federal Law Requires Airlines to Allow Musical Instruments on Planes
Updated: 6/24/25

Thank the American Federation of Musicians (AFM), for lobbying Congress (for many years) to get legislation that protects musicians who travel by air with their instruments. Acccording to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, musicians may carry an instrument onto the cabin of an aircraft if the instrument can be stowed safely in one of the approved carry-on locations, and there is still space for the instrument at the time the passenger boards. This ruling means that musicians need to board as early as possible to ensure that there's space. For more details about how to board early and what to do if an instrument is too large for carry-on storage, read on.
