Resellers and Partners can take benefits from priviledges and special discounts granted by musIC Pro-Audio Engineering on request.

From the viewpoint of sales there is no difference between a reseller and a partner. Both are independed dealers and sell musIC products from their own location and for their own benefits. In addition they both handle possible warranty claims during the first 24 month after purchase for their customers locally - just for the customers convenience.

Both -resellers and partners- have to proof their commercial state by providing us with copy of a 'trade license' or a comparable document.

But  partners provide additional services to customers and do a wider promotion for musIC products.

• Mounting of AnyMic/i devices into instruments by qualified luthiers  or other qualified instrument maker
• Keep at least one demo instrument with an AnyMic/i installed for demo purposes
• Provide equipment for demo of musIC products and for testing after installation of AnyMic/i devices.

Resellers get a global discount of 20% on the net price of musIC products.

Partners get a higher global discount of 30%.
In addition there are also bonus products available exclusive for partners with an extra discount per product of 5-10%.

Partners can also buy AnyMiy/i devices in a very cost-effective 'bulk' packaging (exclusive for partners) which is important for instrument makers in order to save cost for a retail packaging.

So for the basis you are standing on you can make your decision to apply as reseller or partner and take your benefits from either program.

In either case check your registration data in your customer profile before you apply for partnership as reseller or partner. This can take you quick and smooth through the application processing.

• First an foremost your "Company name" should be filled-in in your registration
• Business partners in the European Union (EU) must provide their 'Tax exemption number' and set 'Tax usage type' to 'Reverse-Charge'.
  Otherwise we are not allowed to take you as 'commercial' buyer even if you supply us with a trade license. The senders and receipents 'tax exception numbers' must be both on the 'invoice'.
• Business partners outside the European Union (EU) can leave the "Tax exemption number" empty and specify "Tax usage type" to 'Outside EU, no VAT'.
  In general:  Deliveries outside the EU are subject to 'customs regulations'; i.e. 'customs-fee' and 'import tax' is handled by the authorities of the  target country. We are in no way responsible for this. But we do our best to assist you in a smooth delivery process.

(Work in progress ...) 

2012 ...

I was on vacation and had no instrument with me to practice since I had planned for 'just a week'. But then -after some days of week one- I decided to extend the trip for another week - but that meant, that I could not practice for yet another week although I had just re-started playing guitar two years before and was amid the beginning ...

So I scanned the Internet for nearby music shops and a specific instrument that I always have been ogling: a small-body 'blues-box' Epiphone "EL00" - just right for a small person like me ...

Well, I found my shop and I found my preferred Instrument in that very shop so I rushed to the nearby city and bought the instrument on Thursday before "Whit-day" 2012 ... nacked, no pickup system...

2015 ...

As a freelancing IT systems engineer, I had just finished my last contract by December 2014 and no follow-up contract but finally much time at home to practice guitar. But I always liked to hear myself with sound coming from an amplifier emerging towards me - just to hear things better. That's why I bought my first instrument (Yamaha 'L-Series' with an ART-Pickup-System) years before. But my Epiphone had no so-called 'pickup system' and I decided to look for one.

The pain began ...

A market full of stuff and names: FISHMAN, L.R BAGGS, K&K, and a lot of others, that all were ranting the same way:

"We are the best, we are the greatest ... pick our stuff"

What?!? How about some information and facts instead of just 'marketing hype'? ... that was all that was going through my mind when I was confronted with all these pointless rants.

This was not helpful at all ... so I leaned back sticking to the old Roman rule:

"Divide et impera!" ... Separate and rule - just to find the truth ...

I started by classifying the types of pickup systems that are available on the market and there were:

• Electromagnetic pickups that all need to be clamped to the soundhole somehow
• All this stuff called piezo, transducers, 'contact microphones' which needed to be mounted to the soundboard in order to work at all.
• ... and some/rare 'microphone-based' solutions to be mounted inside the instrument.

But which way to go?
