Your first purchase.
If you want to get your first instrument, whether it's a trumpet, saxophone, or even a full blown piano, don't be afraid. There are plenty of resources that you can use to get your very own piece of art.
First off. Check an online music store. Personally, I think Musicians Friend is the best source of online inventory. They have multiple categories from DJ equipment and lights, to orchestra instruments. What ever you need, they'll have it in stock and ready to ship.
If you want a more "hands on" experience with your newly purchased instrument, Gracewinds is the store to go to. Located in the heart in downtown Corvallis, this music store has been serving the northwest for over 25 years. They offer personalized services and you're able to talk to a specialist in your instrument's field.
I like this store the best because, like I said earlier, you have a hands on experience with your instrument. The employees are there to help you and to service your every needs.
If your hungry after your first purchase, there are multiple restaurants in Corvallis that will please your palate, but the one that stands out to me the most is Baguette.
Baguette is a Vietnamese sandwich shop located between Gracewinds and a nice little breakfast place called the Broken Yolk. When you walk along the sidewalk in downtown Corvallis, I doubt you'll notice the small building that holds Baguette. It's about a quarter of a regular sized building, but when you step inside, your nose goes insane. You're surrounded by so many different smells and aromas, that you need to sit down, grab a Thai Tea, and get ready to order your baguette.
The first sandwich I tried was the curried beef. The meat was so tender and juicy and soft, that the bread was kind of like a back up meal. The chefs put the beef in this wonderful fresh baked french roll with cabbage, a little bit of lettuce and some thinly sliced carrots. The meat to veggie ratio is just perfect. You're essentially eating a nice hearty chef's salad in a roll.
Other options at Baguette include traditional Asian salad rolls with an incredible peanut dipping sauce, and steamed pork buns with an unnoticeable little hard boiled quail egg in the center.
If your looking for a nice and light lunch with a fresh new twist in your day to day lifestyle, you oughtta' check out Baguette!
