We at Rhapsody Records are committed to providing the highest quality sound and service at very affordable rates. We have 3 private studios for teaching virtually every instrument. I, myself, teach every instrument and have others come in to teach the more intricate aspects of that instrument. We broadcast the Northwoods Polka Jamboree here and also are a full service digital recording studio, able to record in studio or on site. We are also capable of being a 'live in' studio for musicians who travel long distances to record. Those of us involved with Rhapsody Records are also 'contact central' for several bands we play with, offering many different types of music to fulfull any genre need. Being capable of recording 'start to finish', we can assist you in CD/DVD design, artwork, and graphics with the help of Butternut High School art students. We also are your first choice, when looking for specific recordings. If we don't have it, we'll show you how to get it, or even get it ourselves for you. We also offer retail sales of instruments and audio and video equipment at low prices. EVERYTHING YOU NEED right here at Rhapsody Records
