Hey Gang, 

We are super excited to share some news with you! Last Friday, during NAMM's Top 100 dealer awards show, we received the "Music Makes A Difference" award for our work in removing financial barriers that prevent kids from participating in music programs. Then we were named "Dealer of the Year"!!! I don't have the words to express our gratitude to all of you for  supporting our efforts and for trusting us as a partner in your musical endeavors. You make it possible for us to do what we love every day. For that, I humbly say thank you.
