NAMM is always looking for ways to help its Members save time and money. Thanks to the group-buying power of nearly 9,000 Members, the association is able to do just that by negotiating tremendous discounts on services NAMM Members use every day.
Presently, over a third of NAMM domestic Members are signed up with NAMM discount service providers. The savings they receive make this a Membership that can literally pay for itself and even put money back into their pockets. Member companies saved more than $1.5 million over the past year by participating in NAMM's group discount business services.
NAMM is an association for COMPANIES in the music products industry, NOT for individuals (see list below). Qualified NAMM Member companies make, buy, sell or distribute musical instruments and products
