Five Good Reasons
to Sell Your Products at Bone Dry Musical Instrument Company
My name is Scott Miller and you might know
me from the Rhythm Bones Society, or Rhythm Bones forum, or possibly
my website over at rhythm-bones.com.
Like other serious bone players I have spent years looking for people
and businesses that make and sell our favorite musical instrument.
The Bone Dry Musical Instrument Co. was founded to fill the need for
a store that offers a comprehensive assortment of musical bones and
accessories. After you know a little more about the store, I think
you will agree there is no better place to distribute your musical
bones and products.
Below are five good reasons to join me and
your colleagues in this promising new enterprise. |

Musical Bones Are Hard To Find
As experienced bone players know all too well, the musical bone trade
is a cottage industry sustained by fewer and fewer knowledgeable craftspeople—skilled
artists like you.
I don't have to tell you that musical bone makers come from all walks
of life and are scattered far and wide across the globe. Retail stores
that sell musical bones are becoming fewer and farther between too.
Have you noticed that stores which used to offer a fair selection
of musical bones now offer less and less—or none at all? For
example, the folks at Songbird Dulcimer tell me they no longer produce
free-range cow rib bones. Last time I checked, the Shanna Quay store in Ireland stopped displaying pictures of their bones
online. And 123music.com recently closed out their remaining stock
of musical bones. (I bought them.)
If you shop around the internet you will run across shops with a small
assortment of bones here, and shops with a small assortment there.
Heck, as things stand now, the bones you make and sell on your own
website probably represent as large a selection as can be found anywhere.
This brings us to a simple, but significant fact:
| I have never found a store that offers a comprehensive selection of musical
bones and accessories. |
This is the most important sentence on this
page. Read it again. It might even be the most profound observation
regarding the state of musical bones in the 21st century, although I'm
probably getting a little too carried away.
But maybe I missed looking somewhere. So if you
know a place where we can find a comprehensive selection of musical
bones and accessories, then please let us in on the secret.

Make it Easy for Customers to
Get Your Bones
If you have ever shopped around for musical bones, I think you will agree with this sad fact: No store offers a wide selection to choose from.
The best we have is the Rhythm Bones Society (RBS) which sponsors
a member operated bones market place at its yearly Bones Fest. RBS
also maintains the foremost online compilation of musical bone resources
on the planet. But did you ever try locating those products? I have.
Several times. And I can report to you that searching through all
those wonderful resources can take days, if not weeks. Sure, some
of us might enjoy hunting down those treasures, but most folks don't
want to make a career out of finding your products. They just want to browse through a good selection of musical bones—then buy some.
What does this mean to you as a bone maker and seller? From the standpoint
of a prospective customer, finding your products is so hit or miss
that it is hardly worth their effort to look for them. And even if
a customer does find your shop, they still want to see other musical
bone products anyway.
To put it bluntly, finding a good selection of musical bones is a pain in
the butt. But you already know this.
The undeniable conclusion:
| There is nowhere you can go today
to find a comprehensive assortment of musical bones and accessories
online or anywhere else. That place does not exist. |
Until now.

Your Musical Bone Products are
in Demand
Yes, musical bones are simply too darned hard to find. Too many bone
makers have had to cut or even shut down production altogether from
lack of sales.
But it does not have to be that way. In fact, with the current surge
of public interest in the American Civil War, Renaissance Fairs, living
history events, historic re-enactments and the like, I am convinced
that musical bones will be in greater demand than ever before.
I don't know about you, but all those years of chasing down that 'perfect'
set of bones has made me old and cranky. And maybe that's a good thing.
Why? Because for years I thought it would be a great idea if the Rhythm
Bones Society operated an online bone store. But after looking into
it I realized that running an ecommerce store representing a full
contingent of vendors and products is a full-time job.
Eventually though, a number of factors came together at the right
time which inspired me to do something about it on my own. That is
why I am now launching an online store specializing in hard-to-find
musical bones and products.

Let the World's Only One-stop-shop for Musical Bones and Products Work for You
So if you are a bone maker who wants your quality hand-crafted products

shiny shelves of this bold new online enterprise—a specialty

Sell More Products, Make More
Money
As you know, we serve a small but dedicated market of musical bone
players. By offering a cornucopia of products, the store is bound
to become the absolute first choice of musical bone shoppers. If you
already sell quality musical bone products at gigs, the local music
store, your own website, or eBay, then this is an ideal way to expand
your sales network through an additional distribution stream.
The community of musical bone players have made it clear (at least
to me) that they want and need a one-stop source for hard-to-find
musical bone products and accessories. That is the underlying reason
for this new enterprise. So if you are geared to sell your products
at wholesale quantities and prices, then let's do business.
