HERCULES at MUSIKMESSE 2009

(Frankfurt, Germany) The HERCULES Stands booth saw heavy traffic this year at Musikmesse, one of the most heavily attended music conventions in the world. Despite concerns over the current economic situation, quality products continue to be in high demand and HERCULES Stands have prospered.

This year, the top crowd pleasers was the new istands GS601B for acoustic guitar and GS602B for electric guitar. At the NAMM convention earlier this year they were awarded “Best in Show” from NAMM University. Numerous musicians stopped by the HERCULES booth at Musikmesse to test the stands and were delighted with how compact and stable they are.

The new In-bell Clarinet stand (DS440B) also received a lot of attention, as did the highly-requested In-bell Alto Saxophone stand (DS431B) and a Tenor Saxophone stand (DS432B). HERCLES' popular TravLite In-Bell stands have the features that today's touring musicians want most: rock solid stability combined with a stand that stores inside the instrument bell.

Also new for 2009: the GS303B, a folk instrument stand for ukulele, mandolin, banjo and violin; and the new EZ Clutch system for easy stand height adjustment. The EZ Clutch can be found on the MS501B straight mic stand, MS531B boom mic stand, and BS301B and BS311B music stands.
