FISHMAN JOINS JHS CATALOGUE

John Hornby Skewes & Co. Ltd. is delighted to announce, effective October 1st 2008, its appointment as the exclusive UK & Northern Ireland trade distributor for FISHMAN Transducers and Acoustic Amplification.

JHS MD, Dennis Drumm stated, "It’s not every day that a class-leading brand like Fishman, with a 25 year history of technical innovation, becomes available. We are truly delighted to have been selected to offer the world’s number one brand of pickups, preamps, tone shaping products and amplifiers to our customers. Beyond the focus we can bring to the distribution of Fishman in our market, there are synergies between JHS and Fishman which will lead to some very interesting and exciting developments with JHS’s guitar brands …”

Larry Fishman, president of Fishman Transducers Inc., commented on the business-related similarities between Fishman and JHS, saying, “We have similar roots, business histories, and place a high value on the importance of a seamless transition of product from manufacturer to musician. Both companies enjoy reputations for excellent product, customer service and are, therefore, equally fastidious about the quality of our business alliances. As the largest independent distributor of musical instrument products in the UK with a 43 year history, JHS brings a depth and understanding of the UK market that is unparalleled."

"We are very excited about this new partnership and look forward to working very closely with Dennis and the entire JHS team."
