Refacing Clinic at Massullo Music

"We had our very first clinic ever at Massullo Music in 2008. Vancouver, B.C. is 60 minutes north of Bellingham, WA. I recall the excitement of having our new KALI mouthpiece and the wonderful reception to our first mouthpiece, the AMMA. Massullo Music was one of the first music stores to carry our products (Thanks Sandro!) That number has gone up significantly (over 125 stores now.) But, Massullo Music is still one of my favorite shops and I always enjoy getting a phone call from Sandro...

So, we are excited to be heading back up to Sandro's shop for another Theo Wanne event. Massullo Music presents THEO WANNE Mouthpiece Refacing Clinic and Product Showcase Tuesday, June 7th, 2011.

Theo will be giving a refacing clinic from 1:00pm to 3:00pm. We will wrap up, setup for part II and then enjoy dinner with Sandro (and friends) before we begin again at 6:30pm and go until we can go no more, showcasing our mouthpieces and meeting musicians. I am truly looking forward to it.

I wonder if the same..."

New 5-Axis Machine

Another wonderful aspect about growing fast is having to expand our capacity and welcome new high-tech machines to our quiver. (Watch our introduction video.)

Our new 5-Axis machine is the absolute state-of-the-art in machining technology. And, we are very blessed to have a collection of engineers and machinists that can leverage our machining capabilities to the hilt.

A huge part of success is loading your bus with the smartest and brightest people in the business. My hats are off to our world-class machinists, programmers, and engineers.

Westward Bound with Sam Ash

We shipped our first product to the following four Sam Ash stores:

• New York, New York

• Carle Place, New York

• King of Prussia, Pennsylvania

• Tampa, Florida

You can use the Sam Ash store locator to find a store near you.

We are starting on the East coast, then loading up the wagons and heading West. Please let your local Sam Ash store know that you would love to try our products as soon as possible.

The Theo Wanne Team

Blessed with a Wonderful Team

We have been growing fast, over doubling in size every year since we introduced the AMMA in 2007. The great thing about growing is welcoming new employees to our team. We are blessed to have such an exceptional team.

Megan, shown below in order fulfillment, is our newest team member.

Our team is active in supporting our community and environment, like Bike to Work Day.

We look forward to introducing more Theo Wanne team members. We send a big thank you to all our employees for creating a culture and company that makes us proud and truly serves our customers.

Educational Partners

We have launched a new educational partners program. It is our vision to inspire musicians and there is no more important place to do this than at the student level.

As a soccer coach (Tom), I see huge value in providing players with top notch training, mentors, heroes, community, and great equipment that makes learning easier, fun and inspirational.

We aim to build connections between educators, students, endorsers, music shops, and great equipment. If you are an educator, please contact us to learn more about our educational partnership program.
