[email protected] www.bigsby.com Since the 1950s Bigsby vibratos have been the choice of serious guitar players and premium guitarbuilders worldwide. Invented by genius engineer and designer Paul Bigsby who created a vibrato that works for lightning fast guitarist Merle Travis. Distinguished by their distinctive tailpiece designs, the authentic Bigsby 'True Vibrato' adds tone and expression and a whole lot more. Bigsby 'Original Series' vibratos are still hand sand-cast in the USA, hand polished and hand assembled, assuring years of trouble-free service. The Gretsch Company, owner of Bigsby Accessories, recently introduced The Story of Paul Bigsby: Father of the Modern Electric Solid Body Guitar written by Andy Babiuk. This wellresearched and beautifully illustrated book covers the fascinating life and work of Paul Bigsby, from motorcycle racing, to guitar building, through the creation of the Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. Refer to The Gretsch Company in this section. It's not just a Vibrato, it's a Bigsby. Bill Lawrence Guitar Design Co.–16932 Rockcreek Cir Apt 111, Huntington Beach, CA 92647 U.S.A.

[email protected] www.dampits.com Invented and patented by Ralph Hollander, American violinist, the Dampit is designed to protect violins, guitars, woodwinds, pianos, harps, and harpsichords against cracking, ungluing, warping, and hardening of tone. This humidifier consists of a flexible tube containing waterabsorbent material with protective closures and fasteners. It is immersed in water and then inserted into the instrument to retain humidity. It is left in while the instrument is not in use; string and fret performers may leave the Dampit in the instrument while playing, if desired. Many world-famous artists and teachers use and endorse the Dampit, including: string virtuosos Yehudi Menuhin, Yo Yo Ma, Ruggiero Ricci, Mstislav Rostropovic, Gary Karr, Ivan Galamian, and the Guarneri String Quartet. Fretted instrument artists include Carlos Montoya, Alice Artzt, and Theodore Bikel. Among the leading woodwind players are worldrenowned oboe soloist Heinz Holliger, the NY Philharmonic woodwind section's Albert Goltzer (oboe), Stanley Drucker (solo clarinet), and Manuel Ziegler (solo bassoon), and the New York City Ballet Orchestra's David Weber (solo clarinet). Famous conductor Leopold Stokowski also endorsed the Dampit, as did Simone F. Sacconi, one of America's leading violin makers and restorers. Dampits are sold through music stores.

[email protected] www.ferreestools.com The company specializes in repair tools and supplies for band instrument repair technicians. Cliff Ferree has an excellent background in the repair field. After his graduation from the Conn Repair School in 1946, he established his own repair shop. This grew into a large retail business which was later sold due to the expansion of the tool business. In 1956 Ferree bought out the repair tool departments of both Conn and Leblanc. Using these tools as a nucleus, Ferree did some extensive redesigning and engineering and published his first complete catalog in 1957. The tool business moved to larger quarters in 1965, and in 1967 a large addition to that building was completed. In 1970, after becoming dissatisfied with foreign saxophone pads, Cliff Ferree designed several unique assembly machines, made complete sets of precision dies, and began manufacturing saxophone pads. Cliff Ferree attributes the rapid growth of his business to the fact that he was active in the repair field and realized the needs of other repair shops. The company is still constantly working on improvements and shorter steps to quicker, easier, and more efficient repair methods. This has resulted in the constant development of new tools. A person using these tools can complete difficult and complicated jobs more simply, accurately, and in much less time. All these special tools are precision made and quality controlled under the supervision of Steve Willbur and Curtis Ferree.The company was originally organized as Ferree.

That sound, in turn, has won endorsement from some of popular music's most respected artists.

A revolutionary innovation at the time, this design has since become the standard not only of Gretsch drums but also of drum manufacturing world wide. Today, Gretsch drums are still made by hand in South Carolina, using time-honored tooling, molds, and processes to exacting specifications. Gretsch drums are distributed by KMC Music, Inc. Gretsch produces beautifully crafted hollowand solid-body electric, acoustic, and acoustic/electric guitars, as well as Broadkasterr basses. Left-handed versions of many popular guitar models are available, as are double-neck models. Also available are artist signature guitars including Brian Setzer, Billy Gibbons, and the legendary Chet Atkins. A wide variety of classic models from the 1950s and '60s are in reissue production as well. The Gretsch Electromaticr line offers the Gretsch vibe at a high value price point. Gretsch guitars are distributed by Fenderr Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC).

[email protected] www.jonesdoublereed.com A division of Diamond Musical Products, LLC. Jones Double Reed Products has produced oboe and bassoon reeds for over 45 years. The first machine Dr. Wendal Jones created ended up being one of the most complex profiling machine which was capable of running continuously, and it is still in use today. Starting at that level was the inspiration that has led to the creation of many machines, devices and techniques that are the backbone of the JDRP effort. Several automated machines use CNC technology to profile oboe and bassoon cane, so they can be programmed to any desired pattern. Of great importance along the way has been the search for reliable sources of the finest cane. All of JDRP's cane comes from southern France where the finest cane is grown.

[email protected] www.themusiclink.net When The Music Link started almost 20 years ago, our goal was simple: deliver great-sounding instruments backed by the best customer service in the industry. Since then, we've introduced some of the fastest-growing lines of instruments on the market: Johnson, Recording King, The Loar, and VHT, to name a few. Although our scope is wide, we have the experience and expertise to build professional-quality, traditionally designed instruments that sound great. We have done our homework, researching every element of history's most revered instrument designs to develop products that are true to the spirit of the classics. We've focused on every detail so that even the most discriminating instrument historians can pick up a Recording King guitar or one of our VHT amps and say, "Wow, these folks have really done it right." We've assembled a team of extremely knowledgeable gearheads who put their passion and expertise into every stage of the development process. The commitment of our designers and engineers is matched by that of our experienced sales staff. Together, we've built a reputation for unique, excellent-sounding products and great customer service that is among the best in the industry. With two warehouses, one at our headquarters in California and one in Knoxville, Tennessee, we're able to ship to our entire nationwide dealer network in three days or less. We're constantly developing new projects that will impress and amaze musicians everywhere. Though our reverence for history runs deep, we're not afraid to improve on the classics to meet the needs of modern players. Our investment in tradition, quality, and service is what makes us unique, but don't just take our word for it; stop by one of our dealers and hear for yourself. Music Man–P.O.

[email protected] www.nemc.com NEMC offers music merchants a unique no-fee turnkey rental program that removes the dealer's operational burdens yet enables the dealer to offer a customized, high-quality, profitable rental program with no capital investment in inventory. The NEMC Rental Program removes from the dealer the steep capital requirements, high operation costs, extensive service and repair responsibilities, and the complicated, intense legal requirements of offering rental contracts to the public. Under the NEMC program a dealer receives an inventory of new and like-new name brand instruments complete with accessories, ready for rental. NEMC supplies an inventory based on the size of the dealer's rental program, and additional inventory is sent throughout the year as the dealer needs it, all at NEMC's expense. If a new dealer already has rental inventory, NEMC will purchase it from the dealer as it is rented to a customer, thus freeing up cash for the dealer. Each instrument's rental documents are customized for each affiliate according to the often strict laws and requirements of their respective state or territory. NEMC also works with the dealer to create a custom, competitive, and profitable price schedule for the affiliate's individual marketplace. NEMC maintains one of the largest staffs of skilled repair technicians dedicated only to rental instrument service. Free hands-on instrument repair training is available to all affiliates in NEMC's New Jersey repair center with one-onone private instruction. Motivational mailings to parents and students on behalf of the affiliate, the billing and collecting of rental payments and delinquent accounts, along with the Platinum Plan Plus to increase commission percentage and the Annual Rental Bonus Plan for cash bonuses all add to the rental program of choice for discerning dealers nationwide.

[email protected] www.sagamusic.com "The Source" accurately describes this company. Founded in 1974, Saga revolutionized the music trades as the first large-scale manufacturer and importer of high-quality banjos, mandolins, and guitars. The company has also grown to become one of the world's leading suppliers of bowed and fretted instruments, as well as by supporting its instrument product lines with bags, cases, and other related parts and accessories.

With 2011 marking the company's 30th year as a pioneer in the growing market of orchestral string instruments, Saga continually raises the bar for expectations of what a superb handcarved, solid-wood instrument at very accessible prices should be with such brands as Cremona, Anton Breton, H. Siegler, F. Cervini, H. Siegler, and J. LaSalle, all favorites with knowledgeable teachers and dealers everywhere. Saga is also the premier source for popular fretted instrument brands like the original Saga banjos, banjo kits, Saga electric guitar and bass kits, Gladiator vintage inspired electric guitars, a full line of Mahalo ukuleles, legendary Gold Star banjos, America's favorite Kentucky mandolins, Trinity College guitars, Celtic-style mandolins and concertinas, Regal resophonic wood- body and metal-body Duolian and Tricone-style guitars, J.

[email protected] www.talwarbrothers.com Unsurpassed in protection, convenience, innovation, and value for money, Gard Gig Bags are made of all leather, leather trim, and all cordura for all kinds of musical instruments, especially brasswinds and woodwinds. Most Gard bags can be carried in the hand, over the shoulder and as a backpack. Recently Talwar introduced a mid-bag suspension system (patented). In ordinary bags the music instrument rests on the bottom of the gig bag. In Gard bags with the mid-bag suspension system, the music instrument is suspended in mid air inside the gig bag, without touching any of the inside walls of the gig bag. The mid bag suspension system provides possibly better protection than any other gig bag or hard case. Gard Wheelies or Trolley Gig Bags: Similar to popular pull-behind luggage, these bags delight doublers and any players wanting to remove the weight of their horns from their back or shoulders. Each features an outer shell of leather or durable cordura nylon and is well padded inside. The wheel rack is lightweight and can be lifted effortlessly from a car or onto a bus. The telescopic handle easily adjusts to the player's height. All Wheelie bags can also be carried as a backpack. Talwar also makes laptop bags, accessory pouches, tarnish bags, valve guards. Talwar makes over three million bags, cases, and covers for musical instruments, especially for recorders, drumsticks, mallets, and cymbals. Acura Talwar Violin Family Fittings are made to European standards in ebony (Indian and African), boxwood (Indian and European), rosewood (Indian, Tintul, and Amazonas), snakewood, grenadilla, and buffalo horn.
