There are many artisanal musical instrument makers in Germany with exceptionally high quality products who would like to expand into the American market. What has prevented them from working in the American market are the costs of building infrastructure and hiring people they can trust who understand the US customer base they hope to cultivate and sell to, and who also understand the German business sector being represented. However, many American distributors preference their relationships with larger manufacturers over small sized enterprises, and fail to provide the necessary high quality care and service that smaller companies require. 

At the US end, musical instrument stores tend to shy away from directly importing the goods of smaller sized European companies. They prefer to work with American based distributors to handle imports, customer support needs, repairs, returns, etc., and who can interface on their behalf with German companies. 

GS Music Maker Distribution, provides a service that meets the needs of both the smaller sized European musical instrument manufacturers that want access to the US market, and to the US stores that want to sell their products.
