Interest-Free Finance offered by Marshall and Roland

April 1, 2011 - PRLog -- Roland and Marshall, two of the 'big beasts' in the musical equipment industry, have announced interest-free credit deals that allow musicians to 'play today and pay tomorrow'.
Perhaps surprisingly, the guys at Soundsliveshop have confirmed that the two deals are completely unrelated. Indeed, Marshall and Roland are key competitors in some product areas.
In Roland's case, their 'Take It Today' finance credit deal covers products under the Roland and Boss brands (happy new for guitarists). Any purchase between £500 and £2500 is eligible for 9 months interest-free credit if a 10% deposit has been paid.
The deal from amplifier gods, Marshall, has the strikingly similar badging of 'Play Today'! In fact, even the deal is uncannily like Roland's, even if this is more a function of the credit finance market than any music industry conspiracy.
Marshall's terms are slightly different in that that the deal only covers amplifiers, although the amount can be anywhere from £200 to £2000. The interest-free period is also 9 months and the same 10% deposit is required.
Perhaps the music industry is becoming aware that 'big ticket' purchases are becoming difficult for musicians. Whatever the reason, if you're in the market for top quality gear, it's probably worth checking out http://www.soundsliveshop.com
