Mundt Music

March 31st, 2011

Mundt Music

Mundt music in Tyler is the primary local music store and honestly the only adequately equipped business out of the few alternatives in the area. Tyler lacks an abundance of music equipment suppliers, giving Mundt music quite a wide void to fill. Virtually an entire town relies on Mundt for the many instruments and accessories needed to make music.

The few other business choices in town primarily just cover band instruments and supplies of that nature, where as Mundt music has made it a mission to prepare you with the necessary tools to extensively manipulate the sounds you are creating regardless of the instrument. For instance, perhaps you are looking to pull a different sound from your acoustic guitar, Mundt music has plenty of options for you, including a slider bar if you feel like the unique bending sound.

But the inventory is much more extensive than simple guitar products, Mundt also has a modest supply of electronic instruments such as drum machines and looping stations for those that seek true precision in their music. And Mundt just as well has many fine choices in speakers and amps powerful and plentiful enough to equip the loudest of the loud. Even such technicalities as sound boards, massive and crowded with colorful knobs to help give you control over the engineering of your sound.

If you walk around for a bit you will quickly discover the piano area which is filled to the brim with beautiful and high quality piano’s electronic as well as classical styles. Not too far from the many keyboards and piano’s you can find sheet music to use with them spanning many masters of music such as Beethoven as well as more contemporary names in music. If you delve further you will notice a small room entirely dedicated and filled with wonderfully crafted banjos and ukuleles two instruments I strongly feel are very much underrated.

In the Banjo room you will notice a small practice room which Mundt uses to teach the future musicians of Tyler the craft of guitar right in their own local music supply shop, an incredible feature of convenience to those who wish to be taught. Mundt ,at last, has an incredible and vast selection of brand name guitars acoustic and electric covering the entire scope of price and quality.

Whether you’re new to music and need to acquire the basics in equipment or knowledge or you are a seasoned veteran of the music scene Mundt Music has something for you.

Pot Pourri House

POT POURRI HOUSE

3320 Troup Highway
Tyler
TX 75701
903 592 4171

Opening hours: Mon-Sat 11am-9pm

How exciting to find a restaurant in Tyler that is completely unique. The Pot Pourri is family owned and run and you can actually feel the pride that they take in their establishment.

We visited the Pot Pourri house for lunch on the recommendation of a friend.

As we walked in my thirty-something husband commented
‘I feel young… and I’m the wrong gender’

He was right, the place was full of older ladies avidly talking to companions over beautifully presented plates of food. The atmosphere was nice though, the room was lit with fairy lights and there was a water feature in the corner. Even though the ceiling was high there was a feeling of intimacy that you don’t find in a place like, say – Jason’s Deli.

The service at the Pot Pourri House is impeccable. As soon as we sat down, a polite waiter poured us iced water and took our drink order. The soup, salad and potato bar was an irresistible draw for me and my choice was rewarded with an incredibly tasty variety of hot and cold food. Repeat visits filled me up to the brim!

Chris chose a chicken dish and was slightly disappointed with the size of the portion (he’s a man!) but it looked fabulous. He consequently had room for one of the Pot Pourri’s delicious desserts and a bottomless cup of coffee.

The next occasion I had to visit the Pot Pourri House was for a Christmas Party. They have 3 rooms available for small, medium and large gatherings, and can seat up to 100 people. Our party was just for girls and it was intimate and fun with excellent food and service as before. I would imagine that they would cater just as well for a banquet.

One other thing to prepare you for your visit to the Pot Pourri House – it also has a shop on each side of the restaurant. On the right is a women’s boutique and on the left is a gift shop with home décor items, toys, candles, handmade chocolates, nice cards etc.
Reasons to visit the Pot Pourri House: For a gourmet meal, girls lunch, party, to find a nice gift for the person who has everything, Mother’s birthday, or to impress an older female into including you in her will!
