Ear-shattering motorycles welcomed guests to the world’s oldest Motodrom, built in 1928. Under the theme Rock Hard, Ride Hard the stuntmen gave fans an incredible show, with death-defying runs and acrobatics. The riders performed free-hand, while standing, and even while playing a Gibson guitar. The riders, driving in speeds of up to 40 miles per hour, showed how easy it is tune a Gibson SG Standard with Min-Etune, perfectly in tune, within seconds.

New Lakewood forma del corpo "Concerto" (C)

Concert, il nuovo corpo studiato dalla Lakewood è stato presentato oggi alla fiera di strumenti musicali Musikmesse, il polo fieristico più importante d’Europa, ed è stato definito come il fratello minore della tanto amata Grand Concert. La novità più importante del modello Concert consiste nel piccolo corpo con un sistema di collegamento tra corpo e collo al 12° tasto. Allo stesso tempo la lunghezza della scala di 586 mm si è notevolmente ridotta ma, come ogni buon strumento musicale, la vera grandezza viene dal suo interno. Il tipico pizzico di una breve scala si inebria nell’aria sottolineando toni medi contemporaneamente ad un ampio volume.

Musikmesse – the next meeting place for the musical instrument industry in March 2014, a month earlier than usual

The preparations for Musikmesse, International Trade Fair for Musical Instruments, Sheet Music, Music Production and Music Business Connections, are already in full swing because the world’s biggest trade fair for the musical instrument sector will be held a month earlier than usual, from 12 to 15 March 2014.
