Alex Mundo expresses concern that tariffs imposed by the Trump administration will make musical instruments more expensive, particularly affecting beginners and families seeking to introduce their children to music. With his extensive background in the music industry, he highlights the financial strain on musicians of all levels, noting that as prices rise, access to essential gear becomes limited. The music products industry, valued at $20 billion, faces challenges not only in affordability but also in sourcing, with many products reliant on imported parts, even from American-made brands.
There's going to be a lot of kids now who aren't going to be able to get their stuff, aren't going to be able to become musicians.
If my gear is weak and lame, I don't get paid the checks that I need to get paid.
If you walk to any music store... it'll either say Taiwan or China on it.
Even when you get to the American-made stuff, I always have to ask, where are they getting the parts?
