[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 73241, member: 126"] Re: Namm 2013 The Frankfurt Musik Messe trade show had actual consumer days when public were invited in, NAMM was supposed to be limited to industry people (dealers and manufacturers) . That said there is a long tradition of music stores, sharing passes with good customers, and manufacturers inviting high profile artists. For those really in the business these tire-kickers were mainly a distraction/irritation and fairly easy to spot as they tried to glean inside information about dealer cost or whatever. I havent' been to a NAMM show since I didn't have to, and I don't miss them. The L A NAMM was notable for colorful posers, while they looked completely tame compared to the mess at the messe. Doing consumer duty in Germany without being fluent in German was a pretty much a waste of time, mainly just another warm body to prevent gear from walking out of the booth on it's own. JR [/QUOTE]
