NAMM 2009 REPORT

This year’s Winter NAMM show was one of our most successful yet with a host of endorsees making guest appearances at our booth during the course of the event.

We were displaying a number of new string products in the revamped packaging. They included Tru Bronze Acoustic, British Steels and Pure Nickel Electric, plus Funkmaster and Drop Zone Bass sets.

In addition the Nexus Coated string range and the Billy Sheehan Signature sets generated a lot of interest. Look out for all of these new sets in your local store.

Special thanks go out to everyone who appeared, signed autographs and talked with fans - so in no paticular order, they are:

Billy Sheehan, Matt Snell, Duff McKagan, Warren DeMartini, Carlos Cavazo, Robbie Crane, Walter Trout, James LoMenzo and Doug Ardito.

The show also gave us the opportunity to meet up with some of our newer endorsees including Eva Gardner (bass player with Pink), Charles Glenn (bass player with Little Richard), Patrice Jones (bass player with Celine Dion) and lastly Futoshi Uehara ("Ue-chan") ...from the band Maximum the Hormone.

We also got to spend time with some of our USA dealers including Rob from Musicians Friend and Kristy from Guitar Centre.
 
Rotosound electric guitar strings (R9, R10 and R11) are now available throughout the USA at all the Guitar Center stores, see our US dealer listings for full details.
