47TH Annual Supplier Directory

New information in the 47th annual MMR Supplier Directory is based upon a mailing sent to supplier companies in the Fall of 2010, as well as information gathered from recent trade show exhibitor listings, industry organization membership compilations, and other reliable sources.

The Company Listings section includes company names, nature of business (Manufacturer, Distributor, Importer, Exporter, etc.), mailing addresses, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address, Web site, principal brand names, and a brief description of the companies’ product involvement.

Trade Organizations and Societies is a compilation of major trade groups within the industry. Associations & Societies lists more specialized and instrument-specific organizations.

Product Sources is designed to inform the reader as to the specific instruments, equipment, and other products and services provided by companies. Example: If you wish to find out if Prescott Industries carries electric basses, you would look for the Prescott listing in the Guitar Family section of Product Sources.

Brand Names serves as a cross-reference for the Company Listings. Example: If you want to know what company manufactures or distributes Guptill Strings, check Brand Names under “Guptill Strings” to find the supplying company. Then proceed to the Company Listings for that firm’s address, phone, etc.
