The great Trumpeter Maurice Andre; 78 years old.
It is too early and is a very sad news. I could not believe it when I first heard about that.
Rest in piece, the Great Maurice Andre.

The entry list of2012年2月
As you may know, the world lost such a great musician on February 25th, 2012.
The new piccolo straight will have Brass material in the bottom, and it takes over the great character of the Straight Tp-Brass. It is a fantastic mute!
[ Left: Straight Piccolo Trumpet. Right: Straight Trumpet(Brass) ]
The wah-wah for Piccolo trumpet is a limited model, and there will be only 100 pieces in the world with a serial number from 00 to 99. Besides, it is finished in black color that we used to use for trumpet wah-wah mute.
Please do not hesitate to ask about these new products.

I have finally come back to Japan, took a rest of course, and here is a short report of the NAMM SHOW 2012.
It is 3rd times for BEST BRASS to exhibit in the NAMM SHOW, and I felt so comfortable especially this year. It was first time to work with BEST BRASS' distributor!!!!
The distributor of BEST BRASS in the US "Thompson Music", located in Omaha, NE, and we had a great success at this NAMM SHOW. I am hoping that this new business relation will help US customer get BEST BRASS products more easily and quickly. Please go and check them at the upcoming TMEA in San Antonio, TX. They have a booth, and anybody can try our products there!!!
Also, here are pictures from the NAMM SHOW 2012. Enjoy!
