nduced upheaval



Import figures for the latest three-month period ending March 31 highlight a three-year period that has been rocked by the COVID pandemic. Turning back the clocks to early 2020 when the virus was first reported in China, imports of music gear to the U.S.A. dropped precipitously following mandatory factory shutdowns. During that time period, imports of School Music Products fell, cymbals from China were down and Electronic Keyboards were off as well. One year later as public gatherings ended and government stimulus checks began to flow, the import figures were historic, marked by unprecedented gains. The latest round of import figures show a market that is resetting from the end of mandatory shutdowns as people return to pre-pandemic lifestyles. .
