Phil O'Keefe Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Time marches on, and so does Martin Guitar - they've celebrated their 2,000,000th Martin with this special commemorative guitar - and yes, the watch is included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 NAMM has been cracking down on checking IDs at the door, which is probably a good idea... but if they ever get serious about enforcing this "rule", I suspect the attendance figures will drop dramatically!

Phil O'Keefe Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 What's this? A plastic violin? Well, yes, but not just any plastic violin - this one from 3Dvarius is apparently done with 3D printing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 This is my dog Brandi. Brandi had a rough life at times before she came to live with us - she's a rescue dog. What does this have to do with NAMM? My wife sent this picture to me while I was at the show - it seems Brandi wasn't happy having me gone for most of the week... She was really happy when I finally got back home on Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 The nice folks at Cloud Microphones have a new Cloudlifter out. I was really impressed with the Cloudlifter Z when I reviewed it a while back, and now there's the Cloudlifter Zi, which incorporates even more features into an incredibly useful little blue box. It's not just for microphones anymore - it allows you to adjust your instrument impedance now too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Here's a couple of Fender Acoustics and a Custom Shop Art Deco Strat that they had out on display for Press Preview day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Gearsecure launched their free app at NAMM. The tracking units are extremely small and can be hidden in just about anything, and in such a way that a thief would never know. They're talking to manufacturers about installing them, and eventually they'll probably be available for post-purchase installations too. If it prevents gear from being stolen from hard-working musicians, that's nothing but a good thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 Small synths seemed to be a trending gear category, as demonstrated by this Stylophone Gen-X1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 If there's one thing musicians are good at, it's setting their own trends, having their own style, following their muse and doing their own thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 This controller tablet from Sensel seemed pretty interesting. Instead of buying a bunch of different controllers, this allows you to modify the basic unit with different control surface overlays - and not just drum machine style pads and keyboards, but all kinds of surfaces, including QWERTY keyboards, drawing surfaces, drum pads...

Phil O'Keefe Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 The Ultimate Ears Sound Tap is a very clever little box that's designed to interface with your existing PA system and provides a quick easy interface for IEMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
