American Musical Supply (AMS) is a musical instrument retailer and wholesale supplier based in Midland Park, New Jersey. Its web site is ranked as one of the top 500 retail web sites by volume by the journal Internet Retailer. American Musical Supply began as the catalog and Internet division of a Bergen County music business named Victor's House of Music.

Famous quotes containing the words american, musical and/or supply:
“Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
“There was something refreshingly and wildly musical to my ears in the very name of the white man’s canoe, reminding me of Charlevoix and Canadian Voyageurs. The batteau is a sort of mongrel between the canoe and the boat, a fur-trader’s boat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The job of the press is to encourage debate, not to supply the public with information.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
