Summary: some articles may include affiliate links to instrument and audio gear stores. If you buy through them, the store pays us a small commission. The price you pay does not change.
What is an affiliate link?
It is a link that tells the store you arrived from our blog. If you end up buying, the store pays us a percentage of the sale. It is one of the ways we fund the time we spend writing and maintaining these guides.
Our commitment
- Every article that contains affiliate links states it visibly at the top, as required by advertising regulations.
- Commissions do not influence what we recommend: products are chosen on editorial merit first, links are added afterwards — not the other way around.
- We never publish paid reviews without clearly labeling them as sponsored content.
Programs we participate in
As of today we have no active affiliate programs. When we join programs (e.g. Amazon Associates, Thomann), this page will be updated with the full list and the disclosure texts each program requires.
