WELCOME!

The Avenues Instruments is the fast lane for professional and home music studios to get reliable new and used audio and MIDI gear.

We specialize in new as well as legacy E-mu hardware. The Avenues Instruments has the largest stock of legacy E-mu hardware on Earth. Our growing catalog includes many exclusive items found nowhere else. In particular, we try to maintain a good stock of the discontinued, but highly sought line of expansion ROMs for the Proteus 2000 and compatible synthesizers. Please check out our selection.

If you don't find what you're looking for, please contact us. We'll try to find it for you.

We buy and we accept trade-ins

Thinking of going virtual? We'll accept your used hardware synthesizers and other gear for trade-in credit and set you up with a PC based system.

Do you want to upgrade your gear or move to a different configuration? We'll accept your current gear for trade-in credit and set you up with exactly what you want.

Or maybe you just want to turn some unused gear into cash.
