Detailed information on music, instruments and media

Music, instruments and media – these three words are very closely connected today. More and more, the traditional music business merges with the media industry. Sometimes, not only print media, such as newspapers, magazines and books, but also music, stored on CDs or digital files, and music videos or films on DVD are regarded to be content contributions. There is a large number of radio and TV stations. The new medium internet offers an additional platform as virtual music store providing online music for users. Download music from the internet and then burn music on CDs or store the digital MP3 music files on mobile devices, gives the music and media industry a new face and opportunities to grow in the future. However, challenges have to be faced: intellectual properties, illegal burning and copying.

Not only content providers have discovered the internet as a new business platform. Also players such as musical instrument manufacturers and wholesalers offer their portfolios in online shops. Many suppliers and producers of music instruments use their websites as sales channels to market their wind instruments or percussion instruments, their parts and accessories. This makes it easy for the end user to compare offers of international companies online. Besides mass producers of, for example, guitars, keyboard and drum instruments, who offer their portfolio to the mass market, also smaller companies offer their products online to a dedicated audience.

However, many customers are still relatively conservative when it comes to the purchase of musical instruments. The end user usually tends to go shopping for the instrument at a retailer store around the corner where he also obtains service and consultancy. The smaller retailers showcase the instruments and the potential buyer can touch, see, feel, hear and even try the instrument – this seems particularly important when high price musical instruments are to be bought. For many private users, the investment in an instrument is still a life time investment, e.g. when buying a grand piano or an antique violin.
