Anyone else going? My 6 th year (I think) going. Usually RainSong Guitars gets me in but this year BlackBird Guitars is getting me in... I get to play many great pianos and see and hear many talented musicians...and play guitars and everything I guess..
I have not been to the Anaheim NAMM in several years. One of the highlights of my visit was the ability to sit at and play a multitude of very high-end pianos, that have been tuned and regulated by the best technicians available.
Cheers,
Joe
I don't think I'm talented enough to go, lol. I understand it's more for professionals. It would be nice to go, I live about 10 miles away.
I'm curious to learn about the new Hybrid pianos coming, e.g., the Yamaha N2X and Kawai Novus NV10. I think they will be shown at NAMM.
Talent has nothing to do with it... its a trade show.. you get to try cool stuff,,, hear great musicians.. great concerts going on outside and the 2 hotels right there have concerts all day
+1 to Mr. Kramster's reply
I hear, they are opening up admission, at least on some days, to 'non-industry people'. If I was in the area, I would definitely go and play some high end pianos - that would be fun!

I would love to get my paws on that Ravenscroft-ized Kawai VPC1.
Played the Ravenscroft today... I hung around a few hours and heard some really fine playing... classical and improv jazz ... a lot of the jazz stuff was played as duet type things on the 2 Ravenscrofts ... a videoed some of it... I'll do it up and post on my YouTube channel and link...
