Welcome to the official EBS blog from Frankfurt MusikMesse! After a couple days preparations on site, the show finally started! A little slow at the beginning, as usual on the Wednesdays, but it became more and more busy by the day, and a real promising start of the show! For all of you who follow the show from a distance, we’d like to start by taking you on a tour through the EBS HQ and we’ll add some news and happening coverage later…so stay tune for more! And yes, we did film some stuff today too, but videos will be added in next week since there’s no time to do the editing from here. So, let the show begin…
-
- …lets have a closer look!
-
- The new and improved pedal display came out great!
