Thanks Geoff - slim pickings this year at Messe - well keyboard wise anyway... I checked the list of exhibitors and Yamaha and Casio are both not there. Don't think I saw Korg or Roland, or Studiologic...I may have missed them though as it was really early this morning haha!

There is no luck - luck is simply the confluence of circumstance and co-incidence...

Yes, it seems that a number of manufacturers have opted not to exhibit this year.

 

Kawai is at Messe, however the booth is in the "Business to Business" area, and not open to the general public.

 

Kind regards,

James

Yep. The beginning of the end for the Messe, imo. Less exhibitors, less visitors in the last couple of years. Just like the Cebit in Hanover... gone.

If it's true it's very sad news, because it is the biggest show in Europe...

Trade shows do come and go -- we see this all the time at my own company. The two or three that we prioritize each year as the most important ones, has changed a number of times in the twenty years I've been in the pro audio business. Even Pro Light + Sound has diminished in importance a bit. The ones that matter most to us at this point, no longer have any overlap with the Musical Instruments industry as they did previously.

Superbooth seems to be the new trade show for keyboards. Look at the list of companies - Roland, Yamaha, Korg, Behringer, Nord, Waldorf, Kurzweil etc - they'll all be there:

Too much stuff, too little time, too few gigs, should spend more time practicing...!  🙄

main instruments: Nord Stage 3 compact, Yamaha CP88, Kurzweil PC4, Viscount KeyB Legend Live
