John Hornby Skewes has appointed Musik Wein as its new distribution partner in Germany for Vintage electric and acoustic guitars and Pilgrim Folk Instruments.
Based just north of Hannover in the town of Isernhagen, the firm was set up in the 1920’s, and is one of the region’s longest-established music distributors. JHS formerly worked with Music and Sales in the German market.
“JHS would like to take this opportunity to thank Music & Sales for helping to establish Vintage guitars in the German market” says JHS export sales manager, Adam Butterworth. “We are excited about Musik Wein developing further the Vintage business and introducing other JHS ranges such as Pilgrim to the German market. They share the same passion and vision for our brands and will do an excellent job.”
Musik Wein CEO Ralf Rohrbach, commented: “We are delighted to be representing Vintage and Pilgrim. These instruments have a real place in the German market, offer great specification, playability, and excellent value for money for many players, and we can’t wait to get started!”
