TESTIMONIALS
Andy Aledort:
World-renowed guitarist, respected educator, and longtime contributor to many magazines such as Guitar World says:
"I have found the Music Stamp products like the MSG-NN 5-fret no-nut chord frame stamp and the MST-G tablature stamp to be
indispensable in both teaching applications and when annotating my own musical ideas. The stamps are quick and easy to use as well as very dependable."
Sid
Jacobs: Head of Jazz Program (GIT), Guitar Institute Technology, Hollywood, CA says:
"The MusicStamp is a great tool for students and teachers alike as an aid for
visualizing the fingerboard. Using the stamp where you need it on the music
gives you the freedom to effectively organize your ideas. There are already
pages with fretboard diagrams pre-printed but these are not efficient if what
you are doing doesn't conform to the layout of the page. The flexibility the
MusicStamp allows makes it the best tool of its type I have seen for this
aspect of teaching, taking notes, or jotting down your own musical ideas.
You can also use less paper making it a green alternative to wasting paper. ...All the best, Sid
Jacobs, Head of Jazz Program (GIT)"
Wolf
Marshall: World famous Guitarist/Educator/Author of countless music
transcription books, Founder of "Guitar One" magazine says:
"I use the Music Stamp fretboard stamp often in my private teaching
and in preparing diagrams for professional publication. The self-inking
capability and the ease of application are my favorite features. It
has withstood years of use and continues to work perfectly. I recommend
the product to anyone interested in having quick and easy access to
fretboard blanks."
Jody
Fisher: Associate Director of the National Guitar Summer Workshop's
California and Nashville Campus, faculty member of the University
of La Verne Teacher says: "You don't know how long I've looked
for a high quality set of stamps like this. They seem perfect for
my purposes. These would come in handy in my teaching of course, but
also when I work on the first drafts for my publications. Both guitar
stamps look great and I think the standard notation stamp is an excellent
idea and very useful. Seriously, I think you have a very good product
and I am happy to endorse these products. Sure would have come in
handy about 20 books and a million students ago........"
John
Morgan: World Class Guitarist covering all styles, founder of the
highly popular on-line full service guitar instructional site www.playtheguitar.com
says: "After using this little gem for a while your reaction
will be like mine, "Hooray, no more wiggly lines" and "Where
have you been all my life?" A "must" for guitar teachers;
a great convenience for serious students. This is a very handy tool
for quickly laying down fretboard diagrams. We want to spend time
playing the guitar, and thus how good of a player would I be if I
hadn't spent so much time drawing fretboard diagrams! Thanks for coming
up with such a cool and useful product!" Read

"Robert, I'm stamping every day (at least five or six days a week.) I have over 50 students. I don't know
how I would survive without my stamper. By the way, you may want to emphasize durability in your ads. I've
probably dropped that stamper on the floor a million times with no ill effectsJ It was running a little low
on ink but one of my students gave me a re-inker and it's stamping as beautifully as ever. Best,"
- John Morgan
Skip
Dorsey: Original Musical Director/Guitarist for Brittney Spears, and
currently on tour as Justin Timberlake's Guitarist says:
Hey,
Robert and The Music Stamp Series: "You can rest assured that
The Music Stamp Series has served me well these last few months
on the road with Justin Timberlake. It's amazing how a well thought
out device can make things better. Every time I'd go on the road in
the past, I would either come back with ink all in my luggage or,
to avoid the hassle, I would not even take a stamp with me. With the
Music Stamp I've had a worry free productive tour. Using it at home
will be a breeze, too. Thanks Guys!"...
Further update as of December 2007...
"I just came off the road with Justin Timberlake after a year and a half of touring.
The tour was great. Hey man, I haven't had to use the stamps you gave me in years because
I've been playing the same songs night in and night out with JT. A friend of mine asked me
to do a gig with him so I needed to use the stamp. I gotta tell you that after all this time,
it worked like a charm! You make a great product. I've put it to the test and it still passes every time.
I just thought you'd like to hear the good news. Anyway, take care of yourself and thanks again for the
stamps. Peace," Skip Dorsey, Guitarist

MacRae Birch (http://www.alisdair.com/):
British Jazz Guitarist/Bassist/Teacher/Arranger, founder of the Jazz
Guitar Discussion Group, http://www.jazzguitargroup.com
says: "A student of mine gave me a MSG-1 Guitar Stamp as
a present and it has proved invaluable in my teaching, enabling me
to save time and stamp diagrams with ease. I particularly like how
easy it is to use and that it's self inking, which means that it is
truly portable. It has proved useful in quickly notating chord melody
arrangements and providing visual diagrams for standard notated music.
All in all, a great product which works, from a company with a good
website which is clear, easy to navigate and which makes ordering
a breeze, period!"

says: "The Music Stamp Series stamps are a creation long in need. They are clean, concise, and come
in a variety of patterns. You will benefit from them no matter what instrument you play!"
Chase
Sanborn (www.chasesanborn.com)
World Renowned Trumpeter says: "I use the trumpet fingering
stamp and the staff notation stamp. The ability to quickly and easily
notate a short musical phrase is very handy. The Music Stamps
are very unique and useful items for teachers."

Michael La††anzi: Producer, Music Stamp User says: "Every time I would pick up my guitar to write a
song, I loved the whole process until it came time to notate the chords. It would take forever to draw my
own fretboard diagrams and I found myself wasting precious creative moments just making sure that my self
drawn chord charts would be legible for when I would have to recall them and re-create my chord voicings!
Then I was fortunate enough to see an advertisement in a local music store flyer for The Music Stamp Series!
Well things haven't been the same since. I now can't wait to be creative and write my music knowing that I
have the Music Stamp(s). They have become one of my most important precious writing tools in my arsenal.
Perfect clear pristine chord charts, and I especially love my latest stamp the 14 fret guitar stamp for
those chords way up the neck. Now I actually make my own custom charts for my own personal needs rather then
having to use generic sheet music. The best part is they will last forever, and just once in awhile I'll
have to replace the ink cartridge and go again! I look forward to writing now more then ever knowing I have
The Music Stamp(s) in my tool box!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE STAMPS!!!!!!!!!"
Jeff Salem: Educator, Clinician, Author - operating his own teaching school, and Music Stamp User says: "The new
drum stamp is a great tool for drum teachers and students. The parts of the drum kit are laid out for you, so it's easy and quick to create
and write out your own grooves and fills. This unique stamp will help you save on staff paper and have your work look consistent every time. Stamp away and groove on."

Mike Sorrentino, Drum Stamp User says: "The music stamp is a great way to write down those quick ideas -
and have them be something you can actually read the next day! It makes it easy to get those thoughts on paper legibly and accurately, in a format suited for drummers."

shopping experience. Thanks again."

"Robert,
I had a bit of a traumatic week last week. As one of my students was
packing up her books and papers after her lesson she inadvertently
picked up my fretboard stamper. A few minutes into the next lesson
I realized what had happened. Thus began a week of squiggly, hand-drawn
fretboard diagrams eliciting many humorous comments from my
students, many of whom had never seen one of my hand drawn diagrams.
The best comment was, "that looks a little like a Picasso with
some kind of 3-dimensional thing going on." Fortunately I survived
the week and the stamper came back home. The universe in once again
in balance. Thanks for making an indispensable product." - John
Morgan, USA

"As a music teacher it is very important to have working tools when you need it ASAP during a lesson, and I'm pleased to say that the Music Stamps fill that void wonderfully. To be able to stamp a chord box and /or a piano outline onto the sheet we are working on
is essential for any music teacher. I plan to keep these stamps well stocked in my music studio, and recommend these to all music teachers."

product. I can tell you already how I'll review it. You can even exploit my endorsement shamelessly for advertising purposes if you want: "No less than (an authority on) SIR PAUL McCARTNEY!
claims, 'It's fab."
- Martin Speed, Cincinnati OH, USA
"Hi Robert, The Band Stamps arrived yesterday and they are so cool! I will be telling my colleagues about these, for sure! The stamps are very easy to use, and the diagrams are neat and clear. It will make designing beginning band worksheets much faster and easier!

- Peter Mathers, guitarist

"Hi Rob, I am very happy with your stamp and plan to get additional stamps from your company within days. In a day or two I'll take time to take a look at
your web-site again and select one or more additional stamps and ink cartridges. Being a songwriter and musician... believe me... I am very happy with the 5-fret
stamp I received from your company awhile back. I am telling other musicians and music people about my new automatic stamp that aligns so much better then the
other type stamps. You have a product that is 2nd to none and you are my contact and supplier for future stamp similar products."
