Michael Kelly Guitars, owned by Samson Technologies of New York and Singular Sound of Florida, have granted Hal Leonard distribution of their various products. The Michael Kelly Guitars agreement covers the U.S. and Canada. The Singular Sound agreement is for the U.S. Both the product lines are available from Hal Leonard effective immediately.
Michael Kelly Guitar Company launched in 1999 with the Dragonfly collection of mandolins and acoustic basses that looked and sounded great without breaking the bank. These instruments quickly became bestsellers and soon after, the company began developing a line of higher-end, but value-rich electric, acoustic, hybrid, and bass guitars. In turn, they created an appealing line that has a nod to classic body shapes but have added their own embellishments and technologies to make them stand out. Their motto “boutique within reach” is the drive for every product they design.
Singular Sound got its start in 2014 with the widely loved BeatBuddy, a drum machine in a guitar pedal. Since then, they’ve continued to innovate, creating bestselling gear that can accompany any player with amazing flexibility. Most recently, they’ve released and been offering frequent updates for the Aeros Loop Studio, a flagship looper pedal changing the way looping is done, and the Cabli, a cable organizer that is quicker and easier than any alternative.
“Hal Leonard is thrilled to bring these quality lines of products to our network of retailers,” says Brad Smith, Vice President of Hal Leonard’s MI Products Distribution Division. “MKG and Singular Sound bring in-demand products that complement our growing line of gear for the fretted-instrument market.”
Any retailers interested in ordering Michael Kelly Guitars or Singular Sound products can call the Hal Leonard E-Z Order Line at 1-800-554-0626.
