JAMTOWN began 10 years ago with a vision to help people in America create music with friends and family. Not fancy rock songs or orchestra performances, just a little music. It can make a BIG difference in your day, We guarantee it. Starting with our motto ‘Play A Beat You Can Repeat’ we make it easy and fun for kids AND adults alike to join the band.

Our award-winning multicultural rhythm ‘paks’, games, play-along CD, and Let’s Paint ™ crafts stand out as unique gifts that keep on giving. Educational packaging tells the story behind each product and creates a bridge to the artisans and their cultures. But that is half the story.

As proud members of the Fair Trade Federation we work with small producer groups from developing countries- like Ghana, Vietnam and Bolivia- providing important support to low-income families through fair wages and other valuable assistance. We carefully choose cool, indigenous instruments that are affordable, durable and sound great.

What can music do for you? Just follow the road to JAMTOWN!

JAMTOWN offers more than 75 instruments individually, in our original award winning paks, or in custom paks that we’ll design especially for you and your customers.

Sun Moon Star Activity Drum
Rainbow Baliphone
Surprise your friends with a novel new instrument and a JAMTOWN formula for making music. Start with three drums in one – decorated in bright Sun, Moon and Star designs. A colorful guide walks one or two players through a fool proof way to create jammin’ rhythms that bring smiles to faces young and old. It’s as easy as easy as saying ‘Sun. Sun. Moon. Star. Moon.’ Fun and easy to demo in your store too! Complete with guide and one stick. Hangs on a peg for retail display

Artwork you play – this is a special gift. Hand carved keys and quality construction from a master’s workshop. Tiny gourd resonators are carefully placed underneath each key giving a big warm sound to every note. A traditional instrument in Ghana, the JAMTOWN Baliphone has been adapted to our culture by tuning in the western scale (do-re-mi…). With the help of the color guides, quickly learn Chopsticks, folk songs, and original pieces. Or just play…there are no bad notes. Adult worthy, kid tough! Great for in-store demo.

Let's Paint™ Musical Instruments - Paint the Pond Pak
JAMTOWN Junior Rhythm Pak
Hand-carved frog, fish, cricket and butterfly make different wood drum, scraper and clicker sounds. Play them together and imagine a summer pond at night, or a rice field in Vietnam. That  was my inspiration for this pak. They are ready to play and will last a lifetime.

Try all three imaginative ways to play: 1.as durable musical instruments, each makes a unique sound; 2. as critters from the pond, each carries a special personality; 3. as a three dimensional canvas, each will morph into a memorable work of art. Carving details are great, like fish scales and butterfly wings. (Child safe paints, of course.)

Like making music together, painting together delivers memorable adult/child interaction!

Award winning ‘pak’ for small hands includes three instruments, activity guide, Simple Rhythm™ cards, play-along CD and a cool bag for collecting more instruments over the years. A Gourd fire-burned shaker and a two-headed goat skin frame drum from Peru compliment the coconut palm rhythm sticks from Indonesia.

Story cards for each instrument provide geographic and cultural and fair trade information. Experience the magic of percussion while building confidence, self-esteem, and musical skills. That’s pretty good for one gift!
