“NAMM is not for us, it’s for them, the people we get to speak to face to face. Everyone is here because of a common connection on how to express ourselves. It is about having some sort of tool or process to express yourself.” – Jim Debardi, Moog
“The reason we always coming back to NAMM is we get to see so many people that are interested in our products, meet new dealers, and find opportunities to sell our guitars in new markets.” – Ben Parker, Marketing and Brand Manager, Teton Guitars
