MUSIC
specialist Tribal Planet will be showing a whole range of innovative
new products at the NAMM Show 2008 in Anaheim from Thursday,
January 17 to Sunday, January 20.
Tribal
Planet will be displaying its successful Planetone range of
harmonicas, including two new models, as well as showing it’s
new gig bags and music bags.
The
Planetone harmonicas were launched in the UK last year and were
so successful they sold out in just three weeks following the
launch in the UK.
The
range includes Blues, Tremolo, Octave, and Chromatic harmonicas,
which makes a full presentation and competes with the traditional
manufacturers in the market.
It includes the latest two models, the Super Steel and the Zephyr.
The
Supersteel is the Pocket Harp’s big brother. It is a full size
model and features super thick nickel plated brass reed plates
for increased volume and tone.
It
has Richter tuning and the precision manufactured black plastic
comb makes it easy to play with a fast positive response.
Meanwhile
the Zephyr is a miniature eight -note harmonica available on
a keyring, priced at $2.99, or a necklace, priced at $5.99,
so you will never have an excuse for not having your harp with
you.
The
Planetone range has been enhanced from the standard traditional
product and offers superb functionality and styling. All Tribal
Planet brass reed plates feature nickel or chrome plating which
will enhance the harmonica’s lifespan and prevent corrosion.
Box sets of seven and 12 harmonicas are now available for the
Planetone Blues range.
The harmonicas were designed at Tribal Planet’s headquarters
in Birtley in the North East of England and are being produced
in China.
David
Wright, Director of International Sales at Tribal Planet, said:
“The Planetone range of harmonicas has taken the European and
UK market by storm.
“We
are delighted that in just a year of launching Tribal Planet
Harmonica Company we have been so successful. Now, we are looking
forward to launching the latest products in the range in America.
“Following
fantastic feedback in the UK we are certain that harmonica players
of all abilities are going to be happily surprised at the quality
and value for money this product delivers.”
Tribal
Planet is best known for its success in revolutionising the
guitar bag market and during NAMM it will be showcasing some
of its latest innovations including the new GX50 Luthier bag,
Rock n Shop bags and music bags.
After
numerous requests from top Luthiers around the world, Tribal
Planet has developed a new range of hard guitar gig bag/cases
suitable for instruments over $2,000.
The new GX50 is Tribal Planet’s strongest bag yet and provides
unrivalled protection for guitars.
This
bag features a hard plastic frame with sprung suspension. An
exclusive range has been created for Luthiers only. These will
be co-branded, with both Tribal Planet and the Luthiers badge.
Further, the new Rock n Shop bag, retailing at $30, will be
available to view at the show. At just 11 inches small, the
bag is the perfect accessory to keep all your guitar bits and
pieces in.
The bag is versatile and is designed to fit everything a guitar
player needs, from strings, picks and capos.
Available in black and hibiscus, the bag is small enough to
sling across your Tribal Planet guitar bag or over your shoulder.
Meanwhile
new colours for Tribal Planet’s convertible music bag will also
be on show at Music China. This music carrying bag converts
into a desk stand in seconds, making it the perfect companion
for music students.
New
colours for these popular bags include hibiscus and black. The
bags are also available in red, blue and grey.
