II · Story Angles

Three threads worth writing.

If you're covering music retail, the orchestral instrument trade, or independent maker survival, these are the angles that distinguish TMC from generalist coverage.
Angle · 01

The workshop-direct argument

What changes structurally when an online retailer skips the regional distributor — pricing parity with the maker, shorter freight chain, named provenance on every order. Workshop-Verified is the productized version.

Angle · 02

The Concierge tier

Sourcing service for $10k+ acquisitions: vintage, custom workshop builds, principal-tier flagships. NDA-eligible from the first message. Three modes: acquire, sell or consign, advisory.

Angle · 03

The editorial approach

Music retail's first editorial brand at scale. Cormorant Garamond, italic emphasis, a curated catalogue rather than infinite shelves. The argument: curation is refusal, and refusal is what makes the voice survive.
