MARKETPLACE INDEX
Shipping your music products...
T
he Music Shipping Company is now established as a key supplier of percussion products to UK retail stores. It supplies leading brands such as Natal, Aquarian, Mono, Holz, Groove Juice and Shaw. It carries huge stocks of Remo and Vic Firth products and many niche market percussion items, such as Hansenfutz pedals and Triplet Gloves, together with an array of accessories and consumables. All of these items are shipped on a next-day delivery basis from its warehousing in the Midlands. Natal has undergone a huge increase in its profile in 2008, with brand new lines and additions to its already wellestablished ranges. The professional series of Natal Congas and Bongos are still made in the UK, using the original moulds and patterns, all hand produced. This scrupulous attention to design carries through to all its other products, too. Anything that carries a Natal badge is of the highest quality at its price point.
Aquarian drumheads are now viewed as the finest quality available, with many leading drummers joining the family of endorsers. Another range that has been advanced is Shaw Sticks, which now features accessories such as drum bags and practice aids. MSC’s product ranges also extend to non-percussionists, with its supply of hearing products from US-based Hearos and the market-leading ER20 ear filters. Several web-based innovations were put in place this year, such as a full ‘dealer-only’ secure online catalogue, with full ordering facilities. The main MSC website is now focused on product information and advice for drummers.
