Q: What
is a manufacturer? |
| A: A manufacturer is the
maker of the brand. Most mass - manufacturers of musical instruments reside
in China & Korea. (Although most all of the better music brands do
manufacture here in the USA)
|
|
Q: What
is a distributor? |
A: A distributor is a
privately owned mass supplier to the music dealers. The distributor has
massive buying power and stocks each musical instrument item in large
quantities. Most wholesale musical instrument distributors here in the USA
sell at the same "dealer price" that the actual manufacturer does. The
musical instrument distributor function is to supply the musical instruments
& accessories at a closer proximity without a price increase to the licensed
dealer. Keep in mind, using "wil-call" is a way to save $$. Simply search
for the distributors in your state after completion of your membership. You
will save tons on shipping - by picking up the orders yourself. (wil-call )
There are over 100 massive wholesale musical instrument warehouses across
the United States. Chances are there are many near you. Remember, these
companies only sell to licensed retailers / dealers / internet sellers /
etc. Many real wholesale distributors will only sell to dealers with
commercial addresses. Although it is not 100% necessary to have a commercial
address. Speak to a wholesale consultant @ 951-319-8485
