Christian Musician Summit Launches New Retail Website for Church Musicians

Christian Musician Summit, Inc. is now the exclusive distributor to the greater church community for D'Addario, the world's largest music accessory manufacturer. Christian Musician Summit, Inc. has launched WorshipGuitarPlayer.com, a one-stop shopping website specifically aimed at serving Christian musicians, worship teams, indie artists, churches and schools. At WorshipGuitarPlayer.com, shoppers benefit from discounted pricing due to the bulk shopping ability of the website for all D'Addario brands, including D'Addario strings, Evans drumheads, ProMark drumsticks, Puresound snareware, Rico reeds, and Planet Waves cables and accessories.

"Not only will folks be able to buy great strings, heads, sticks and accessories at super low prices, but they will also be supporting our overall mission, which is 'to provide practical resources to Christian musicians to improve skill and inspire talent for God's glory," says Matt Kees, co-founder of Christian Musician Summit, Inc., the parent company of WorshipGuitarPlayer.com. "It's a win-win. Worship leaders and teams will save money and receive great products and service, and we will be able to further our calling to serve God's kingdom through the revenue the site produces."

"The vision of this new website is to help musicians and entire worship teams find the accessories and tools that they are looking for while also offering some of the best boutique gear out there," says Bruce Adolph, co-founder of Christian Musician Summit, Inc. "Often times the gear with the buzz to it is hard to find and we want to be that one-stop place to find that cool new pedal, custom electric guitar or vibe-y tube amp."

Currently, WorshipGuitarPlayer.com offers products manufactured by D'Addario, the Farmingdale, N.Y.-based provider of accessories for stringed, percussion and woodwind instruments; JHS Guitar Pedals, a boutique guitar pedal manufacturer from Kansas City, Mo., and Riggio Custom Guitars based out of Tacoma, Wash. Many other companies are being added to their catalog.
