Musikhaus Thomann considers the acquisition of the musicians’ forum a strategic benefit. The team will remain in place and the know-how developed by Musiker Board is therefore preserved.
»I was really impressed with the extremely professional approach, all the way from the extensive consultation and analysis. The communication and the working style of the entire WALTER FRIES Group of Companies throughout the entire process was a thoroughly enjoyable and highly motivating experience.«
