The David Nordschow Amplification Family of Endorsers

At David Nordschow Amplification, we don’t trade products for “endorsements,” because that’s not a true product endorsement. We feel it misrepresents the facts and can often mislead consumers into buying products based on false information.

The artists who work with us are true endorsers. In fact, we don’t just have endorsers, we have a family. We are very proud that many top players who have been with us for more than a decade are still proud to endorse our founders’ designs, and our service ethic. We’ve spent a lot of time with each one of them, watching families grow up, watching careers blossom, sharing triumphs and tragedies, and enjoying the chance to do business with real friends.
