Company profile

[edit]

Parsons was founded in 1986 by Terence and Arling Ng[1] and became China's largest music retailer with more than 100 retail locations and 80 music schools all around the country.[2][3] In its retail locations, Parsons sells acoustic and digital musical instruments including guitars, pianos, amplifiers, electronic keyboards, as well as sheet music and books.[4]
