Check out our TAP-GUITARS – we want you for endorsement!!
You are open for new ways in making music …
You still love extraordinary instruments; you are an experienced bass- or guitar-player; or you even have a background in playing tapping instruments and you are still convinced that groove, pop-appeal and some roots are more important than being a virtuous “noodler” which can play notes faster on the fret-board than Michael Schuhmacher can drive and you think about all the chicks too which only like to shake their hips to the music – than you should contact us: info@mm-wo.de . Or check with us at our booth on the European Bassday in Viersen.
What do we expect from you really?
You should learn to be a tapper and play our instrument on a lot of Live-Concerts you do with your band, tell the press some nice things about the KOYABU or the TENAYO Tapper, you are willing to do some photo-shootings for us and you should visit our booths at all the conventions we are in, talking with the people and play some tunes for them.
If you like to do all that for us you will get one of our Tap-Guitars and a lot of support for nothing!!

Music-Marketing with TAP-Guitar @ European BassDay 2009
Music-Marketing GmbH was founded in 2005...
We are still selling stringed instruments and a lot of accessories all over Europe - mostly to shops. And we are specialized in distributing very extra ordinary stringed instruments like Sitars, Tap-Guitars, Slides, Pedal Steels, Auto-Harps, Soprano Guitars, Classic Guitars with 7, 8, and 10 strings and much more. But our most known trademarks are PACCS, TENAYO, ORFEA, WHITEBORN & HADGET. Our General-Manager Hans-Gerd Pflugbeil is also well known for his work with ROLAND, CASIO or the German Magazine GITARRE & BASS.
This year at Viersen we would like to introduce you to our 12-String Japanese Tap-Guitar – the famous KOYABU Symmetric Board which was constructed by Mr. Yoshitaka Koyabu. The instrument can be played by both hands tapping. Perhaps you can compare it a little to the piano playing technique but at all with guitar and bass strings which will be touched down with your finger tips on to the flat fret-board. The idea of the instrument bases on the Original Chapman-Stick which was first introduced in the early 80s by famous musicians like Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel & King Crimson) or Nick Beggs (Kajagoogoo). But the concept of the KOYABU is still different even its very special design. All parts of the instrument are standard, there is a body (this still causes in a wider spectrum of mid frequencies) and the tuning is symmetric (inverted fifths on the bass side & ascending fourths on the melody site). Both hands move uncrossed on each side of the fret-board. There is a wider spacing between each string and it has a 30’’ scale. So no extra strings are needed. At all the KOYABU sounds much smoother and more dynamic than other well known Tapping-Instruments and the pricing is very well.
Ron Baggerman & Michael Koch (BiusK) will be happy to show you these wonderful instruments at our booth. We will play all that stuff no one would trust to play really. So you are all welcome!!
