Business this year: Rentals way up, walk-ins slow
New lines or brands you’ve taken on with success this year? Eastman stringed and brass instruments, Dean guitars, Luna guitars.
Evolution in the industry that you’re excited about? We’re in our 40th year and continue making a strong effort to reach out to band directors, who in turn talk about us to their students. We visit schools within a 150-mile radius to promote music education. It’s challenging, with the numbers of music programs shrinking. We’re also challenged by manufacturers doing direct online sales and by impersonal Internet sellers.
Product of the Year? Cannonball Saxophones.
