KMC Music, the industry-leading distributor of Guitars, Pro Audio, Percussion, Band & Orchestra, Accessories, and more, has announced that it has been appointed the exclusive United States distributor of the Antigua Winds Brass and Woodwinds product line.
According to Roger Hart, KMC Vice President of Merchandising and Purchasing, “Antigua Winds was founded on the desire to give anyone the opportunity to play music, without sacrificing quality or affordability. Supported by a range of instruments spanning from student education all the way up to professional clarinet, flute, trumpet, and saxophone musicians, Antigua has the unique ability to meet the needs of serious musicians at every stage of their professional development. The quality, reliability and serviceability of these instruments makes them ideal for any retailer’s school rental programs. We are thrilled to make this iconic line available to our resellers, effective immediately.”
Commenting on the appointment, Antigua’s Director of Marketing Todd Oxford emphasized that, “The quality and range of our product portfolio requires the commitment of a dedicated and knowledgeable sales team that knows how to guide resellers in making the right selection for their customers, and KMC Music has that team ready to go to work on our behalf. In addition, the extent of their reach across the country is unmatched by any other distributor. We look forward to working with their team to bring our amazing instruments to the widest possible audience of musicians!”
The addition of Antigua significantly strengthens KMC’s portfolio of exclusive Band & Orchestra product offerings that also include Suzuki Orff instruments, Stentor bowed instruments, Vic Firth Educational, and Rhythm Tech.
In addition to these exclusive brands KMC also offers Vandoren reeds, Wittner metronomes, Herco care kits, Legere reeds, and many more. Hart added, “At KMC Music we are focused on serving as a complete business partner to our Band & Orchestra and School Music retailers by having the brands they need in stock, ready to ship when they need them. Further, our generous financing terms, 24/7 online ordering, and access to a highly trained customer service team enable us to be their one-stop source for the products, programs, and support they need to grow their businesses.”
