Our Objective

Our role as a company is to work closely with music retailers to grow strong and mutually beneficial business relationships and promote and support the music industry as a whole, as well as encourage music making throughout the world.

At SLM we go the extra mile in customer service with a host of dealer support programs to help with sales and marketing. We offer drop ship services, private label manufacturing, in-house financing and extended terms. We also provide dealers with their own 300 page, full color accessory catalog, branded with the dealer’s store to aid in marketing to schools, churches, marching bands and colleges. This is our Retail Catalog Program, a great marketing tool to help serve your local music community.

If you’re a musical instrument retailer and would like more information on our company and our products, and how we can help grow your business, please contact us for our latest trade catalog or to arrange a visit from your local sales representative.
