Dear Sir or Madam,

As representatives of the Society of Music Merchants (SOMM), the association of the music equipment industry in Germany, we aim to create a comprehensive overview of the musical instrument market across Europe, particularly regarding sales and manufacturing figures. In this context, we kindly request your support.

Specifically, we are interested in detailed data and statistics on the musical instrument industry in your country.

If you do not have such specific data, we would be very grateful if you could provide us with pointers or contact information for relevant data sources and contacts within your country. Any information that can assist us in our analysis of the European musical instrument market would be of great value.

In general, we are thankful for any data related to the musical instrument industry, even if it does not fully meet our specific criteria.

We thank you in advance for your support and are available for any further questions or additional information you may require.

Yours sincerely,

Laura Dethloff
