Manchester, United Kingdom
Chase Music has completed the acquisition of the entire sheet music inventory of Music Exchange (Manchester) Limited following the company’s recent administration.
For many years, Music Exchange was recognised as one of the United Kingdom’s leading specialists in printed music, supplying musicians, music retailers, schools, colleges, universities and educational establishments throughout the United Kingdom and internationally. Its administration marked the end of an important chapter in the British music retail industry.
The inventory acquired by Chase Music was listed by the administrators at approximately £1.2 million and comprises more than 200,000 books covering in excess of 23,000 individual titles, making it one of the largest acquisitions of printed music stock by an independent UK music retailer in recent years.
Amrik Singh commented
“Music Exchange played an important role within the music industry for many years and we are delighted to have secured its sheet music inventory. More importantly, this acquisition ensures that an exceptional catalogue of printed music will continue to be available to musicians, teachers and educational establishments throughout the United Kingdom and beyond. Printed music remains fundamental to music education and performance.”
