Artists & Artisans

The Hot Apple story began in 2013, when a passionate musician, slightly weary and delirious from touring the vast Australian country, returned home and saw opportunity in a small business that had been distributing musical instruments across Australasia.

As a practicing musician, Aaron (founder) knew the importance of quality, repute and function when it came to musical accessories, and that part of the business flourished with his keen attention to sourcing the latest products from around the globe.

The business naturally evolved with the introduction of boutique handcrafted instruments. Perhaps a tribute to his roots as the son of a carpenter, it was Aaron’s keen interest in the art of creation that saw him scour the world for artisan instruments to expand the business portfolio. It is his belief that the best quality comes from pieces individually crafted by someone who has personally sourced the material, fine-tuned the design and finally brought the unparalleled sound.

Play with the best

From a solo act in a small office at home, to a bustling Sydney warehouse with a dedicated team, Hot Apple Distribution has forged its own path. We know the difference superior quality instruments can make when expressing your craft, and that’s why we only stock pieces we trust to enhance performance, sourced from like-minded makers who care about what they do.
