St. Louis Music Acquires Full Ownership of H.W. Products
St Louis Music (SLM) has purchased the assets of H.W. Products Inc., a maker of brass and woodwind cleaners and
accessories since 1975. With this purchase, SLM acquires 100 per cent ownership of the H.W. brand and is now the
Canadian distributor for H.W.’s products.
“I’ve had the pleasure of doing business with H.W. and the Koregelos family for many years,” says Mark Ragin,
president and CEO of SLM. “I’ve come to know their line as one of great ingenuity and quality and also have great
respect for the work Angela [Koregelos] and her late father, George, have put into their company. We’re thrilled to
offer our broad distributor and dealer base the current H.W. line and look forward to adding additional products to
their great offering.”

Coast Music Now the
Exclusive Canadian
Distributor of Sire Basses
Music Distributors Association
Ceases Operations
& Cancels NAMM Show
& Tell Event
The Music Distributors Association is ceasing
operations as an organization and has cancelled
its annual Show & Tell event, scheduled for Jan. 22,
2019, ahead of The NAMM Show.
“As the distribution model has changed
over the years with the advent of the internet,
buying groups, and industry consolidation,
MDA has worked to remain relevant. But we
also recognize that our efforts are no longer
financially sustainable,” the organization says.
“Rather than risk going into the red with one
last show, we reluctantly bid farewell to our
band of business-to-business brothers and
sisters, and thank you all for your support over
the years.”
