Editions Bim

Hello,

We’d like to thank you for being part of the Editions Bim community. Since our family-owned company was founded in 1969, we’ve always focused on building friendly relationships with musicians and composers. In a way, you could say our motto is: “for musicians, by musicians.”

Our passion for quality —whether it’s the music notation, the choice of paper, or the printing— is our way of showing respect to the composers and to you, who bring their works to life.

With our very Best Wishes for 2025!

Warm regards,
Jeremy
