Thinking of Buying a Second-hand Piano Privately?

By David A Robinson Hundreds of second-hand pianos change hands privately every year. Only a mall number are in good playing condition. We know for buying second-hand pianos and preparing them for resale is an important part of our business. Of the many pianos offered to us we actually buy fewer than one in ten of them - and almost every one needs work on it to a greater or lesser extent When looking for a piano it is important to remember two things. Pianos are not all of the same quality. Before 1914, in the boom years of piano sales, huge numbers were made in small workshops to satisfy the demand for cheap pianos. They were of poor quality when new and hundreds are still around, several generations later, in dreadful condition. There were some excellent pianos made in the 1920's and 1930's. They are now 60,70,80, years old - nearly old age in the lifespan of a piano. If they have been well maintained during their life they can still be good instruments, but ...

Music Promotion Companies - Don't Get Ripped Off!

By Chris Rockett Music promotion companies are great for bands who have a little bit of a marketing budget. You can get more fans and more success without having to spend hours and hours every day in front of the computer spamming the social networks and record companies. I think it's a crime that so many musicians spend two to three hours a day promoting their music, then spend only an hour a week actually producing any songs. There is a little sum I like to do that keeps me on track with my music marketing. It goes like this... Spend 80% of your time making music. Spend 20% of your time marketing music. The 20% may be two hours a week talking and working with music promotion companies creating a marketing plan. Making better and better music is like rocket fuel for all your marketing efforts because suddenly people will be falling in love with what you do and the real fans will start rolling in. I have a dream.... Let's say you're in a band with four o...

By Rebbeca Stone Do you want to have Sonic Producer software to help you create your own beats? Well, is you are then I cannot blame you, because personally this software has also allowed me to make and form my own brand of music and beats that sound professional. I like this product so much, and I find the technology very intuitive and user friendly. The Sonic Producer software in my experience is created ahead of its time. What I mean is that, although there are a lot of other beat making software available online who seem to offer similar services as the Sonic Producer software does, but I find that they pale in comparison. Not only did the Sonic Producer software seem to anticipate the need of every musician, but the quality of sound it produces is just simply amazing. The things I like about this product are the following: • It includes production lessons. In it, it discusses all about Pro Tools, lessons in keyboard and other instruments and also included is softwa...

Can Crowdsourcing Solve the 3 Toughest Issues of Music Licensing?

By Scott J McIntosh Music licensing can be boiled down to three tasks - locating the perfect song, negotiating a license for that song, and agreeing on a price. These are not simple tasks though and have long required multiple entities to complete the process. The Internet, however, has made these tasks less difficult as of late and the new process of crowdsourcing may be the simplest way to quickly complete all three. It's no secret that locating the perfect music for commercials, film, or television can be a daunting task. With thousands of new songs being uploaded to the web weekly, quickly filtering through them to locate specific types of music that are best matches for a project is simply not possible. This may be the reason that studios and music supervisors continue to work with labels and publishers to license mainstream music as opposed to working with new independents. Even though it is more expensive and can be difficult to license music from these entit...
