Lemongello Revisited

ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER Rick Kessel rkessel@symphonypublishing.com EDITOR Christian Wissmuller cwissmuller@symphonypublishing.com

ne need go no further than to contrast the musical debut and career of ‘70s crooner Peter Lemongello and present-day phenomenon Susan Boyle to understand both the intensity and versatility of the Internet. Lemongello labored on the fringes of the music business in 1976 when he and some private investors devised a plan to promote the singer through a late-night TV marketing campaign. Using New York City as the launch for a city-by-city strategy, the group promoted Lemongello’s album, Do I Love You 100 times per week. The campaign resulted in the fi rst person to sell a million records through a television direct marketing campaign. Lemongello soon faded from the national scene, but remains a fi xture in a variety of smaller venues ranging from Atlantic City to Branson, Missouri. Susan Boyle recently burst on the music scene in a far more dramatic manner, appearing on England’s version of “American Idol.” The 47-year-old unemployed homebody sang “I Dreamed A Dream” and, within a week, her rendition had been viewed on YouTube more than 47 million times and generated more than 125,000 comments! Boyle’s performance received more than twice the hits of President Obama’s victory speech in Chicago, and had more views than Tina Fey and Governor Palin’s “Saturday Night Live” appearance. Visible Measures, an organization that tracks videos from YouTube, MySpace, and other video-sharing sites, said that all Boyle videos, including recent interviews and a ten-year-old CD, generated a total of 85 million views, 20 million of them within 24 hours. More proof of both the power and versatility of the Internet, and YouTube in particular, was the Web site’s formation of a symphony orchestra comprised of 90 amateur and professional musicians gathered from six continents who performed this past April at Carnegie Hall under the direction of Michael Tilson Thomas. The musicians were chosen after submitting video performances of a new piece written exclusively for the audition process. Closer to home, during the past month, Blueberry Guitars employed eBay as an auction site for 25 guitars. Each guitar was online for 10 days and had a starting price of $1 with a sale to the highest bidder. And, on a fi nal note, MMR recently joined the instant communication era with our LinkedIn Professional Group. When we asked the questions, “Are things picking up at retail?” here is a sampling of responses: “$300 and under products move on a fairly consistent level” – John Giovanni, The Music Room… “February was down but March has kicked back strong” – Jeff Simons, Watermelon Music… “We have seen a huge increase in fretted sales and a sharp decline in amplifiers and step-up band instruments” – Donovan Bankhead, Springfield Music. Join LinkedIn for free, then search for MMR’s Musical Merchandise Professionals and request to join – it’ll take less time than a late-night TV commercial.

Upfront FMIC Trademark Applications Denied The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office reached a decision on March 25, regarding a body-shape appeal involving Fender Musical Instruments and Stuart Spector Designs, U.S. Music Corporation, ESP Guitars, Sadowsky Guitars, Lakland Musical Instruments, Peavey Electronics, Warmoth Guitar Products, Schecter Guitar Research, Michael Tobias, Tradition Guitars, and others. The Board stated that, “Fender refers to the ‘iconic’ status of these [instrument] outlines in American popular cul-

ture; however, we must resolve a narrow issue: Do consumers associate these twodimensional outlines, depicted in the drawings, as indicators of source? ...We conclude that applicant [Fender] has not established acquired distinctiveness such that these two-dimensional outlines of guitar bodies, standing alone, serve to indicate source.”After five years of hard-fought litigation, which included over twenty thousand pages of evidence

demonstrating countless companies who have manufactured, marketed and sold guitars that use the body shapes, the TTAB concluded, “The evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that these configurations are so common in the industry that they cannot identify source. In fact, in the case of the [Stratocaster] body outline, this configuration is so common that it is depicted as a generic electric guitar in a dictionary.”

Wyman Piano Teams with ORLA Wyman Piano Company has announced a new strategic alliance with ORLA to distribute the all new ORLA line of digital instruments in the USA. Established in 1965 in Castelfidardo, the musical instrument capital of Italy, ORLA’s reputation is recognized throughout the world for high-quality manufacturing along with superb sounds, features, sleek European styling and ergonomic design.

Wyman Piano Company was founded in 2003 by former Baldwin executives Tim Laskey and George Benson, who have grown Wyman distribution throughout the USA and Canada, the UK, Germany, Japan, and New Zealand. The popularly priced Wyman acoustic piano line consists of eight vertical and four grand models, and grand pianos equipped with a state-of-the-art CD player system.

Shure Acquires Crowley and Tripp Shure Incorporated recently announced the acquisition of Crowley and Tripp Ribbon Microphones from Soundwave Research Laboratories of Ashland, Massachusetts. Under a definitive agreement, Shure now owns all intellectual property, microphone process equipment, product designs, and other important assets related to the Crowley and Tripp line. Shure will manufacture ribbon microphones in its Wheeling, Illinois, facility using the patented Roswellite™ shape-memory acoustic ribbon material developed by Soundwave Research. “Ribbon microphones have always been prized for their warm sound qual6 MMR

ity, but older designs are delicate, which has limited their applications,” said Scott Sullivan, Shure’s senior director of Global Product Management. “With the acquisition of the Crowley and Tripp product line and their Roswellite ribbon technology, Shure is extending the use of ribbon microphones to the stage in addition to their use in the studio.” Shure will manufacture ribbon microphones exclusively in the U.S. Shure will also assume responsibility for ongoing service and support for existing owners of Crowley and Tripp ribbon microphone products.

Wyman Piano will offer the complete line of ORLA digital pianos in both portable as well as traditional home styling, and also two grand models. The new ORLA line up includes the new Stage Ensemble that allows dealers to offer an Ensemble value at an entry level price. Other Ensemble models are available in traditional home style and elegant grand versions, both of which offer exceptional value. Also available is an innovative church keyboard Model CH176, specifically designed for church settings and with church musicians in mind. “We see this Wyman-ORLA alliance as a timely opportunity to broaden our offering with the addition of ORLA digitals to our popular line of Wyman acoustic pianos,” commented George Benson, Wyman national sales manager. “We have been friends with ORLA for many years and have observed the tremendous progress their company has made in developing instruments that are very competitive, especially in today’s marketplace. These new ORLA digitals allow us to continue to deliver on the Wyman promise of quality and value,” said Tim Laskey, Wyman president.

Upfront Peavey Enacts Lean Initiative Peavey Electronics Corporation has begun a company-wide Lean initiative that aims to maximize efficiency among its 33 facilities and strengthen the organization’s position in the global marketplace. Lean manufacturing is a philosophy of maximizing efficiency within an organization. Although the movement first gained traction under the term “Lean” in the 1990s, the roots of Lean date to Henry Ford, and later, Toyota. Courtland Gray, chief operating officer of Peavey Electronics, said that Peavey must refine its business model in order to position the company for continued growth. “By embracing Lean practices, we can better understand the flow of production from plant to plant and come up with more

Gibson to Lay Off 50 Nashville-based Gibson Guitar, Inc. recently announced that it would lay off about five percent of its worldwide corporate staff, about 50 people, in response to the economic downturn, which is affecting sales of its musical instruments. “We regret that the company had to reduce our work force to meet the economic challenges faced by our industry,” Gibson Chief Executive Officer Henry Juszkiewicz said in a statement. “We believe our streamlined team of talented people will continue to serve our valuable customers in an increasingly excellent fashion,” he said. “We expect to continue to build the fi nest instruments in the world and lead the industry in quality and innovation.” The company said that worldwide sales of musical instruments in the product categories it competes in have dropped more than 20 percent in the first quarter of 2009, compared with the same period last year. 8 MMR

efficient ways of doing business,” he said. “Our goals are to apply skills efficiently, deploy freed resources where needed, and ultimately become more competitive. Peavey is committing to making a significant upward stride in performance in a short period of time, and that will benefit our customers, employees and community.” Peavey’s Lean program is part of a massive, multi-million dollar reinvestment that Peavey Electronics has made in its infrastructure just since 2008, including a new ERP computer network to streamline the flow of information, enhance communication and unify its global affi liates. With this next phase, Gray said that Peavey employees hold the key to the company’s future. “Our Lean strategy depends on an internal team that will determine how to alter the company’s workflow and processes,” he said. “The team is a stratified rep-

resentation of the Peavey employee family, including manufacturing line workers, plant managers and product engineers. It’s important that our plan is shaped by the people who will ensure its success.” Michael Harbaugh, Operations Manager of the Manufacturing Extension Partnership of Mississippi, a division of the Mississippi Technology Alliance, is working with Peavey on a transformational Lean business model that will ensure that the company retains that spirit of innovation and a competitive edge for years to come. “Manufacturing is the heart and soul of an economy,” Harbaugh added. “The stronger we can make U.S. manufacturing, the stronger and more secure we will be. Lean secures the manufacturing base of America, and by adopting this transformational model, Peavey is helping lead the way.” To find out more, visit www.peavey.com.

Seymour Duncan to Stay in Calif. Facility Seymour Duncan president Lynn Robison said last year’s reported plan to consider possibly moving the 30-year-old company’s 130-employee operation to somewhere else in the 805 area code has been scrapped. “Last year, we were evaluating what to do,” said Robison, who joined the company in January 2008. “We explored alternatives such as creating a second facility, but we had no plans to close our Goleta [Calif.] facility. The Seymour Duncan company will always have a presence here.” “This is exactly the type of company we want to keep in Goleta,” said Kristen Amyx, president and chief executive officer of the Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce. She said she heard the company was leaving last year, but is relieved to learn just recently it will be staying. Robison said the decision to stay was largely based on the company’s evaluation of its hand assembly line space needs. He

said that showed the company could do more with its existing space. The company president admitted, as do many South Coast employers, that it has been difficult to retain some of its employees because of the high cost of living. However, he said, no discussions were held with Ventura city officials to open a plant there where many area workers ride and commute to their jobs in Santa Barbara County. Robison said company officials found better ways to use existing space, which made it unnecessary now for another location. He said the decision to stay in Goleta was made just prior to last year’s economic meltdown. “We’re damn glad we did, too,” Robison said. As for how the company is faring in the recession, Robison said, “We’re doing fine,” even though the company did reduce its workforce by 10 employees in January. (Source: The Daily Sound) MAY 2009

$1.61 per diluted share – a 6 percent decline from last year’s results. The adjusted earnings exceeded the consensus estimates from analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters First Call, who projected fourth-quarter earnings of $1.38 per share, excluding the charges. Total revenue came in at $14.72 billion for the most recent quarter, up 9.7 percent from $13.42 billion in the comparable period last year. Same-store sales, however, fell 4.9 percent. For the year, Best Buy reported net income of $1 billion, or $2.39 per diluted share, for fiscal 2008. That’s down nearly

29 percent from $1.41 billion, or $3.12 per share, in fiscal 2008. The decline was largely due to the fourth-quarter charges, as well as an investment-impairment charge in the third quarter. The company generated revenue of $45.02 billion for full-year fiscal 2008, up 12.5 percent from a year ago. Looking forward, Best Buy forecast earnings of $2.50 to $2.90 per share in fiscal 2010, with revenue of $46.5 billion to $48.5 billion. The company said fourth-quarter revenue was better than forecast, and it expects to gain increased market share in the wake of Circuit City’s demise. Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) plans to add 65 stores in 2009 – 45 in the United States and 20 in its international segment.

Best Buy’s Profits Fall Best Buy Co., Inc.’s profit fell 23 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, but the company provided a better-than-expected forecast for 2009. Richfield, Minn.-based Best Buy reported net income of $570 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2008. That compares to earnings of $737 million, or $1.71 per share, in the same period last year. The decline was largely due to one-time charges, including those related to the company’s recent buyouts and layoffs. Excluding those charges, the company would have had net earnings of $682 million, or 10 MMR

Upfront Slash Visits Little Kids Rock This past March, Slash of Velvet Revolver and Guns ’N Roses fame dropped in on an Little Kids Rock class at Belvedere (Calif.) Middle School, where he spoke to and jammed with 36 thunderstruck LKR students. “The kids were told only 10 minutes before Slash’s arrival that they’d be treated to meeting him,” says Little Kids Rock (LKR) founder Dave Wish. “When they heard the news, there was a collective gasp from the kids – they were moved to what only can be described as awed silence.” Slash also donated guitars to the group. In the middle of his recent classroom visit, Slash started strumming his monster hit “Sweet Child ’O Mine,” never imagining the Little Kids Rock drummer and bass player would fall in right behind him. By the end of the song he was really smiling, as all the other kids were strumming, save for the little girl who grabbed the mic and sang the song. “It was a beautiful sight and a beautiful sound,” says Wish. “It was electrifying.” It was also all caught on tape by CNN and broadcast on national television, exposing millions of viewers to the power of music

education in schools in general and LKR’s good work specifically. LA’s local ABC affiliate, Channel 7, and the Los Angeles Times also covered the event. “Music is one of the most important, universally liked subjects in schools – just as important as math, English, or history,” Slash told CNN. “It’s the ultimate form of expression, and obviously a great creative outlet for kids.” Wish was interviewed for the piece as well: “Little Kids Rock transforms children’s lives by bringing music education

back into schools, and by teaching them to play and write the music that they like.” Slash was treated to two original tunes composed by LKR students, answered their questions, and jammed with them. “Our mission is to pass the torch of a passion for music making to the kids in our schools who need it the most,” Wish says. “That is precisely what happened that day.” More information can be found at www.littlekidsrock.org. and www.littlekidsrock.tv.

SHOW REPORT

Musikmesse 2009 D espite the challenges related to the worldwide economic crisis, the 30th annual Musikmesse and ProLight

& Sound show in Frankfurt, Germany showed surprising resiliency. The gathering is the largest convention of musical instrument and audio/lighting companies in the world and, although the number of exhibitors

was slightly down from last year, this year’s show still featured an extraordinary list of companies, with 1,560

exhibitors at the Musikmesse and 850 at the ProLight & Sound show, representing 47 countries. The U.S. fielded 46

companies at the ProLight & Sound show and 132 at the Musikmesse. Attendance figures from the Messe management indicated approximately 111,000 visitors, a slight increase over last year’s attendance, although the attendance from people outside of Germany was down by 3.5 percent. Some U.S. exhibitors suggested that attendance from American dealers was down significantly. The best represented visitor nations after Germany were The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Italy, Austria, Great Britain, Poland, Sweden, Spain, and the Czech Republic. The most nonEuropean visitors came from the U.S.A., South Korea, the People’s Republic of China, and Japan. The Musik Messe Fairgrounds.

The mood of exhibitors varied considerably depending upon the category of products represented. As expected, those companies involved in manufacturing and distributing accessory products appeared to be weathering, or even thriving, during the economic storm in comparison to makers of higher priced products in the market. Several exhibitors said that their sales had suffered since October, but that in March, business improved significantly. The shift in the exchange rate of the Euro/Dollar relationship from the $1.55 last year to $1.35 this year did present some stronger buying opportunities for

U.S. companies yet many buyers weren’t quick to take advantage of this situation. A survey by the management of the Messe indicated that 75 percent foreign exhibitors and visitors to Prolight + Sound said the economic situation was satisfactory to good compared with 90 percent last year. A recent addition to the convention is the Musikbiz area which, according to the Musikmesse man-

agement, continues to grow. Exhibitors in this area include companies who are involved with music marketing, music labels, publishing products, recording studios, and more.

The most famous graduate of Abreu’s system is Gustavo Dudamel, who has recently become the conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the age of This year’s Musikmesse once again attracted the crème de la crème of the music scene to Frankfurt, e.g., guitarists such Al Di Meola, Steve Lukather,

Paul Gilbert, Lee Ritenour, Joe Satriani, Frank Gambale, and Jeff Loomis – the spectrum ranged from jazz via rock and pop, to metal. Bass players of all musical directions, such as Jonas Hellborg, Hadrien Feraud, Etienne Mbappé, Billy Sheehan and Dave Pybus, were also to be seen at the Musikmesse, as were percussionists such as Will Calhoun, Simon Phillips, Chad Wackerman, Mark Schulman, Cindy Blackman, et cetera. Naturally, stars of other branches of the music

world were also in Frankfurt, including Britain’s Paul Archibald – one of Europe’s best trumpeters – and saxophonists Klaus Doldinger and Tony Lakatos.

“N

umbers slightly down from last year,” and “cautiously optimistic” are becoming two of the most oft-repeated phrases in the MI world this year. While such statements may not represent breaking news at this point, it would be fair to report that the tone at this year’s NASMD Convention truly was optimistic (despite those predictably “slightly down” figures). The almost 30 percent decline in attendance between 2008’s get-together in Orlando and the 2009 meeting in Tucson appears a little bleak on paper, but the attendees we spoke with at this year’s Convention shared a far more upbeat outlook on the state of school music than such stats might suggest. Bearing in mind not only the challenging economy, but also the fact that this year’s gathering coincided with Musikmesse, such attendance figures, while not cause for celebration, suddenly seem far less disheartening. Almost without exception, experienced retailers and suppliers on hand in Tucson noted that a wise read of financial and other conditions affecting any local market – as well as the national and global markets – and responding appropriately will allow savvy businesses to weather the current troubles. As with previous NASMD Conventions, 2009’s event provided a number of lectures and workshops geared towards achieving such goals by addressing issues like effective marketing, cost-effective inventory management, music advocacy, and emerging technologies.

Keynote speakers this year included Kawai America’s Brian Chung, noted music advocate Bob Morrison, and Sir Ken Robinson (whose appearance was made possible through support from NAMM). When not attending to “work,” visitors enjoyed the balmy Arizona weather at the pools or on the golf-course. Equally important, the 2009 gathering provided dealers and manufacturers with the chance to interact and socialize with colleagues and friends, sharing anecdotes, advice, and observations. “Schools and individual customers are operating with a more cost-conscious mind set,” conceded Mark Williamson of Williamson Music Co. in Plano, Texas. “Parents are taking more time to shop. When they purchase or rent, they do not want any surprises concerning money. Because of the decline in the economy, schools are looking into purchasing used instruments for kids whose parents can’t afford to rent or buy instruments. Directors are reviewing their preference lists for less expensive instruments for

their kids to rent. Band programs are being held more accountable for their repair and accessory budgets. School districts are cutting staff and band programs, giving the remaining directors less ‘free time’ (conference periods, developmental time, et cetera) thereby affecting the time our road reps can spend calling on the schools.” Andrew Surmani of Alfred Music Publishing offered this assessment of trends in school music retail: “Despite the craziness of our economy and the crisis in most state budgets, the school music market seems to be pretty resilient based on my conversations with teachers, dealers and our overall school music sales. The positive thing is that it doesn’t look like programs are getting cut. Directors’ budgets may be frozen or reduced, but the programs are still going strong. Teachers either have to become more creative on their fundraising, or have to pay for things on their own, such as attending state or local music conferences. One of the main reasons why programs are not being cut is that our industry has done a really good job lately in providing the support to teacher and parents in showing the academic and economic benefits of music programs. If there is an inkling of a program potentially being cut, the advocacy army goes into full battle gear to stop it.” Next year’s NASMD Convention will be held March 24 – 27 at the Marriott Hilton Head Resort, Hilton Head, South Carolina.

iMSO Opens Channels of Communication with Suppliers Recently completed survey leads to new levels of partnership

The iMSO just wants to talk – you know, about the relationship. “I’ve believed from the get-go that the job was to figure out what was on their minds and what their perceptions of us are,” says iMSO (Independent Music Store Owners) board member Chris Lovell and owner of Memphis’ Strings and Things. “They” are the manufacturers and suppliers whose products move down the pipeline into independent music stores all over the country and, while it would seem that the lines of communications would have always been open and that a clear understanding of their symbiotic relationship was in place, iMSO has learned what many of the members have long suspected: Misperceptions and misunderstandings abound. The tool to break this loggerhead and change the course is deceptively simple: A bare-bones, one-page, five-part survey asking basic questions of manufacturers. Implemented by the group in January and dubbed the Partnership Survey, the exercise has yielded positive results, say iMSO board members. The biggest take-away was the realization that too many manufacturers seem 32 MMR

Korg was one of the company’s that participated in the iMSO survey. Here is Korg’s vice president of sales Ken Fuente (far left) and director of sales Doug Nestler (middle) with iMSO board members Frank Hayhurst, Chris Lovell, and Gordy Wilcher (left to right) at January’s NAMM show.

to have lost sight of a basic principle that holds true to all retailers, which is that a margin on a product needs to be in the 33 percent range for a storeowner to be profitable and that would have to include shipping. “If you don’t keep 33 percent of the deal after the sale, you’re not staying in business,” Lovell says. “We know it’s going to be hard to pry those margins up, but in the long run, if we can get them to trust that we can make the sale, we’ll all be much healthier.”

Survey Says The group’s overall goal, their reason for existence, is still to communicate what they are now. “The whole idea is for the organization to unite independent dealers and be able to speak with one voice, and we’re trying to keep that message as simple as possible,” Lovell says. Right now there is no way to speak directly to the group of independent dealers, there’s no infrastructure in place. “It’s been a big missing link, and now we’re trying MAY 2009

to remedy that, but right now we’re only 350 dealers out of thousands. We have to build this one brick at a time.” An important brick is their Partnership Survey, which was described to be the beginning of a constructive dialog – no “ranting” allowed. Of course even that wasn’t easy in these post-FCC investigation times we live in. While the vast majority of those asked were “wide open” to participation, some had to discuss the ramifications of completing the questionnaire with their lawyers, even scared off from responding to a simple e-mail on the general topic. Section I of the survey addressed the perceptions of other independent MI dealer groups. Surprisingly, most manufacturers said that existing groups weren’t working very well, though some had in place a few programs that were mutually beneficial. Not surprisingly, the manufacturer’s felt that they, themselves, were doing a great job with their independent dealers, which was also addressed in this section. This was one of the points that iMSO found interesting because their members overwhelming feel improvements can and should be made. For Lovell, while there was a disconnect between how manufacturers viewed themselves and how independent retailers did, even understanding each other’s point of view is strategically vital to moving forward. Section II, about product profitability and turn (strategies, not MAP or pricing), yielded especially tangible results. When the idea of creating proprietary products exclusively for independent retailers was floated, there was great enthusiasm from participating manufacturers about developing specific iMSO-only models. This was something that the manufacturers were ready to do on the spot, and is likely to be something that comes to fruition sooner than later, and arguably the single biggest mutual benefit produced by the survey. Section III, “What are the Keys to Vendors’ Success,” asked for business strategies and plans for the coming year, a breakdown of their distribution channels (big boxes, chains, Internet, indeMAY 2009

“If we had the types of programs we’re talking about today in place 10 years ago, we’d all be in a whole lot better shape.”

pendent retailers), et cetera. Here there were no revelations, with manufacturers all declaring they are working hard to “sell more product through as many channels as possible,” and be competitive in every area they could. Section IV opened up the opportunity for manufacturers to tell iMSO members what they wanted from them. While having a knowledgeable staff has always been the independent’s greatest strength, assurance that quality levels would be maintained and even improved upon was something that appears to be more important to manufacturers than ever. Another common complaint, that independents merchandising techniques could be improved upon, was addressed as well. This allowed iMSO members to say that they, in fact, need help in that area, and participating manufacturers expressed an eagerness to assist in creating marketing programs, providing point of purchase displays, and other ideas to achieve stronger sales. Section V, asking for input and suggestions, did not yield any consensus but some general ideas that can’t be heard often enough like, “become more proactive” and, “get out of the store and meet with the community.”

No One Said, “No” As iMSO shares information from the survey, members are said to be especially looking forward to exploring deeper partnerships through exclusive product and more coordinated marketing. By manufacturers taking an existing model and modifying it exclusively for iMSO members, this would allow an edge. “Almost all were totally into that idea,” Lovell says. “No one said no.” No one said “no” to the idea of marketing to the ideal of participating in marketing and merchandising programs shared by regional Independent groups,

supporting e-mail campaigns, and merchandising aids either. (Many are chomping at the bit to sell products to the group, though that possibility is still just on the drawing board.) Lovell assures all that this survey is just the start of an information highway that is going to be built and go both ways between iMSO members and those who create the products they carry. “The fact that we haven’t had this organization has made for tons of misunderstanding, and a lot of lost opportunities” he says. What’s next? “I honestly believe the manufacturer is ready to listen. They need to know more and its kind of one of these things you don’t know you don’t know it. What I saw more than anything they are willing to sit down and talk. We really built a lot of partnership possibilities with just the survey, and they are looking to us to do a follow up one.” Not that any of it is expected to be easy, he adds. “Part of the problem is we’re an all volunteer organization, and in between doing things like this survey, we have stores to run. “But I can’t emphasize enough that if we had the types of programs we’re talking about today in place 10 years ago, we’d all be in a whole lot better shape.”

How to Use the Directory The 45th annual MMR Supplier Directory has been updated to make it as accurate and accessible as possible for the music products industry. New information in based upon a questionnaire mailing sent to supplier companies in the Fall of 2008, as well as information gathered from recent trade show exhibitor listings, industry organization membership compilations, and other reliable sources. The Company Listings section includes company names, nature of business (Manufacturer, Distributor, Importer, Exporter, etc.), mailing addresses, phone and fax numbers, e-mail address, Web site, principal brand names, and a brief description of the companies’ product involvement. Industry Trade Organizations is a compilation of major trade groups within the industry. Associations & Societies lists more specialized and instrument-specific organizations. MAY 2009

Product Sources is designed to inform the reader as to the specific instruments, equipment, and other products and services provided by companies. Example: If you wish to find out if Prescott Industries carries electric basses, you would look for the Prescott listing in the Guitar Family section of Product Sources. Brand Names serves as a cross-reference for the Company Listings. Example: If you want to know what company manufactures or distributes Guptill Strings, check Brand Names under “Guptill Strings” to fi nd the supplying company. Then proceed to the Company Listings for that fi rm’s address, phone, etc. Inquiries or questions regarding the Supplier Directory may be sent to: Directory Editor, MMR, 21 Highland Circle, Suite 1, Needham, MA 02494.

A New Revolution. The AvantGrand is a hybrid piano that creates a physical bond with the musician, a visceral connection that vibrates through fingers, feet, and soul. This essential acoustic sensation has eluded digital pianosâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;until now. Only Yamaha, with nearly 110 years of acoustic piano mastery and over 30 years of digital keyboard ingenuity, could produce it. â&#x2013; The AvantGrand will hit U.S. shores in July 2009. If you would like to represent this revolutionary new instrument, please call your Yamaha Keyboard Division district manager or 714.522.9578.

Giving out good vibrations.

Over the years, Pocket Songs has expanded its song offerings to over 15,000 songs, by all artists in all styles and all periods. Specially noteworthy are five new Ella Fitzgerald albums featuring music of Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, George Gershwin, and Rodgers & Hart. We contracted our All-Star Nashvile Band to provide accompaniments. Frank Sinatra has new albums devoted to his classic repertoire. Again a Nashville Big Band featuring his original arrangements. Over 400 Sinatra songs exist in our Sinatra library. We are a fully authorized distributor of Disney including the two Taylor Swift DVD/CDG releases as well as the High School Musical genre. In addition to our full line of Broadway shows, we also offer classical singers a wide array of opera and arias which include printed sheet music. We have it all for the true vocalist as well as those who want to expand their horizons or just want to have fun.

All of these may be found on our two websites, including audio clips for every song.

That’s why it sounds so alive. If ambient noise is a problem when you’re hooked to earphones, meet the assassin. The CAD NB2 Noise-Cancelling Professional Earphones kill extraneous noises to improve sound quality — during the set or in kickback mode. Three ear insert sizes for precise fit. And brace yourself: they’re surprisingly affordable.

At Rodgers Instruments, we are proud to celebrate 50 years of leadership in the classical organ business and 20 years as part of the Roland Corporation. Thousands of churches, homes, educational institutions and concert halls have chosen Rodgers. Why? Sound quality, trust in our local dealers, and the knowledge that Rodgers is a solid company with unparalleled nancial strength to support existing products and innovate the best new instruments. Have you thought about what being a Rodgers dealer can do for your business? These are just a few of the benets of representing Rodgers organs: • Church organs have some of the highest average sale and gross prot margins of any product segment in the musical instrument industry, thereby improving your protability. • Rodgers offers access to complete organ customization online via Rodgers Organ Architect. • Selling a Rodgers organ to a church opens the door to additional keyboard and organ sales to everyone in the congregation. • The partnership of Rodgers and Roland provides an incomparable level of technology innovation and service support. • Associating your company with Rodgers gives you a connection to a highly respected name in the church organ world, adding prestige and credibility to your business.

Manhasset’s Wall & Harmony Stands The Wall Stand (Model # 56) from Manhasset is designed for those applications where circumstances involve limited space and not enough room to conveniently use conventional stands. The Wall Stand is attached to the wall using a wall-mounted base plate. The actual stand can easily be connected and disconnected to the base plate. The Wall Stand can be moved to an infinite number of positions. The extension puts the desk axis point 10-inches from the connecting and base plate.

The Harmony Stand (Model # 81) is designed for functionality and has a floor stacking base for convenient storage.

Hot Wires’ DB500 Passive Direct Box Hot Wires expands its In-Line Audio Series with the introduction of the DB500 Passive Direct Box. The DB500 is an affordable DI designed to transform any high-impedance signal into a low-impedance signal suitable for long cable runs or direct connection to a mixing console. The DB500 is intended for the recording or reinforcement of bass guitars, keyboards, DJ mixers, acoustic guitars, or any equipment that does not feature an XLR output, or any situation in which a direct audio connection is preferable to using a live microphone. The DB500 is a passive design that does not require batteries or phantom power to operate. It utilizes a high quality transformer to match impedance between Hi-Z 1/4” and Low-Z

XLR connections. Two parallel 1/4” jacks act as inputs/direct pass thrus, allowing the DB500 to be inserted into an audio chain without affecting the signal, yet still sending audio to the transformer for balancing. The balanced low-impedance signal is output through the single XLRM connector, from which it is typically sent to a stage snake box such as the In-Line Audio SNK164100, and then out to a mixing console or recorder. The DB500 also features a clearly marked ground lift switch. The switch breaks the ground on XLR pin 1, often solving ground-loop hums and noise problems. With its all-metal construction, the DB500 is rugged enough for the road and is covered by a two-year limited warranty. The DB500 lists for $49.99.

The mallets are 8 ½” in overall length. Model ERSR retails for $24 a set. The Conga Mallets’ head has a flat surface producing a full solid tone. They feature a ½” maple shaft with a vinyl grip, and are 11” in overall length. Model ERCM retails for $58 per pair. www.mikebalter.com MAY 2009
