Just what the heck is toonz jukebox anyways?

toonz jukebox is a jukebox and amusement service located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We started operations in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1994 and have been in Calgary since 1997. Although we are a young company, we have over 20 years of mobile and fixed disc-jockey experience, having played all sorts of parties, restaurants and bars since 1987. From this experience, we have developed a large repetoire of music on 45s and CDs which can easily be transferred into our jukeboxes. We know the type of music that your clientele will like, whether it will be rock or country, alternative or Top 40, dance or rap... and if your clientele stays for the music, you can be sure they will stay to buy more of your products.

How can toonz jukebox help my establishment?

The atmosphere of your establishment is a complex synthesis of several different elements. The decore, staff, media, patio, air quality, etc. all have a part in making up your establishment's atmosphere. However, music is often thought of last in many locations.

I already subscribe to a music service. Why should I change to a jukebox?

There a many different types of muisc services. For example: a piped-in radio station, an audio subscription (such as Digital Music Express) or a disc-jockey. All of these can be thought of as viable alternatives to a jukebox. However, compare the jukebox with the other services and we are sure you will agree, the jukebox can be better than other services.

Situation:

Radio Station

Audio Subscription

Disc-Jockey

Jukebox

Will the type of music match my clientele?

Possibly

Usually a pre-set channel will be "close" to what you want

Almost always

YES

exactly to what your establishment needs

Is the music available 24-hours a day?

Yes, although nights are usually not as good as daytime

Yes

If you can pay for it!

YES

You specifiy the time and the jukebox will work for you!

Can I have uninterrupted music?

No, complete with commercials, talk and the ever-so-annoying "have to change channels to find something good"

Yes

Yes, as long as the DJ is spinning records.

YES

Jukeboxes are so fast now that most patrons won't even notice the 1 to 3 second delay between songs.

Can my patrons have a say in the type of music they hear?

Well, only if they ask the manager really nicley to change the channels...

They can make requests, but they usually are stuck with what the subscription plays

Always, except when the DJ is on a roll of dance music and Barry Manilow just doesn't seem to fit...

YES

If patrons want to hear a song, they choose it.

What does each cost?

Free - except for the equipment to broadcast it and time wasted changing channels...

Can be very expensive! Costs can be the broadcast equipment, the cable or satellite, and the subscription itself.

Can be very, very expensive! Not to mention the times when the DJ phones in sick...

FREE!

And you can even make money in return!

I have special music needs. For example, I have Latin music playing on Monday nights and new rock music on Friday nights. Can your jukebox do that?

Most of our jukeboxes are able to accomodate the requests of even the most demanding location.

For example, the NSM Saphire has the capability of specifying the CD numbers or track numbers of up to 20 items for a background music range. As well, it can have up to 4 separate background music time slots. Therefore, you can specify up to 20 CDs or tracks for you Latin music to play on Monday nights from 6pm to midnight and you can specify another 20 selections for your rock music on Friday nights from 4pm to 2am. Simple, huh?

How much does it cost to have a jukebox put into my business?

Through a very complex, mathematical formula which requires the Ph.D. of a physics professor to understand, we have determined that all jukebox installations and maintenance will be....

FREE!

That's right. Free. And how can you do that, you may ask? Simple. All we ask is that a minimum amount of jukebox music sales per month be maintained... and unless your business has absolutely nobody in it (which means you have more problems than a jukebox could help), you will qualify.

When we meet with you, we will ask typical business operations questions such as how your business is doing, what type of clientele you expect and what are your hours of business? We then do our own market research to see what type of jukebox, sound system and music would work the best in your location. If it all looks feasible, we ask for an installation deposit which will be returned to you after the first six months of operation.

That's it.

What kind of jukeboxes do you have?

We specialize in the newest, most programmable jukeboxes in the industry manufactured by N.S.M. in the U.S.A. Not only are they attractive, but they have the fastest CD changer in the world, which results in less dead-air time between songs.

If you have a fast growing and busy establishment, you may wany to consider a TouchTunes jukebox. It's a digital download, which means it's connected to the internet and has over a million songs, which can be customized (for example no Eminem, or only dance/pop on Saturday nights).

As well, we cater to Seeburg, Wurlitzer and Rock-Ola jukeboxes. Depending on the location, we may suggest the look of an old diner like a Rock-Ola 1488, or the 70's psychodelic look of a Seeburg 160, or a jukebox with several wallboxes such as the Seeburg 100C.

Please see our Jukebox section for more details.

I'd like to have a pool table and a counter-top trivia machine in my business. Can toonz jukebox do that or do I have to have two or more companies service them?

Although we specialize in jukeboxes (hence the term jukebox, in toonz jukebox), we are also capable of installing, servicing and maintaining all entertainment and amusement machines. Before you look elsewhere, give us a call. We'll be honest... if what you require is not in our listing, we will point you in the right direction.

back to FAQ


What else can your jukeboxes do, other than just play music?

Ah-ha... the best question to ask a jukebox operator...

Our jukeboxes are fully programmable and totally computerized. They are capable of:

  • background music, programmable free credits and happy our credits (i.e. buy 3 get 1 free), in 4 separate time and selection zones
  • separate Auto play feature to attact patrons
  • advertising - through the use of the CD jackets or program announcements through the jukebox, itself
  • storage and retriveal of all statistical information

And so much more, that to fully comprehend, you MUST see one in action. Please see our Locations area for current jukebox locations.

What does this mean to the establishment?

  • With 100 CDs, you get approximately one week's worth of none repeating music, so there is no need for a separate system source, such as a receiver or tape deck.
  • Free credits for your establishment to offer as prizes, for employee of the week... anything you can think of!
  • Happy hour credits attract customers and for one or two extra songs they get, they stay longer and buy more product from you.
  • Advertsing in and on the jukebox can be used exclusively by the establishment, or open to other businesses and profits are shared between toonz jukebox and the establishment.
  • If CDs are not being played, they are flagged and will be rotated or removed to increase the amount of plays in the jukebox
