FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Below are answers to our most frequent questions. If there's
something we haven't answered, please send us an email with your question(s)
to info@musicstamps.co.uk
Q: What is the real benefit of these new modern
self inking type Music Stamps as opposed to the old fashioned seperate stamp and ink pad format?
A: Portability, much longer ink pad life and no messy
ink stains in briefcases, bags and pockets! The ink pad in this new design is constantly suspended air tight within the stamp
casing until it's depressed so the ink pad lasts much longer! Thus, no chance of ink smudges/spills as with the old ink pad
models. All models are very compact and portable and can fit just about anywhere, and did we mention they are just plain COOL!
Q: How long do the Music Stamps
usually last?
A: Depending
on the amount of use, one ink pad should last for roughly 10,000 imprints. The casing itself should last forever under normal
use. It's also dust and impact resistant. Guitar instructor, Wolf Marshall, had his first one going strong for about 5 years
until the ink finally started to fade.
Q: When the ink in the stamp
eventually dries out, do I need to purchase another Music Stamp?
A: No, you simply need to re-order an ink cartridge
when it is no longer printing nice, clean fretboards. Those can be ordered through this site. All ink cartriges are NON-TOXIC.
Q: Is it easy to change the cartridge?
A: Yes, very easy! It's as simple as pushing out the
old cartrige and sliding the new one in its place.
Q: What other ink colors are available for the
stamps?
A: Although the stamps are available in 4 other colours
than Black ie: Blue, Red, Violet, and Green, when printing on standard white paper, Black ink works the best, as the others
colours tend to bleed through the other side more.
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 the whole product review of the MSG-1 on his site listed above.
"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 effects! 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," -

"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
