not a good sign of things to come...
start squirreling things away for the future.. ....

Or things are changing and musikmesse isn’t as important as it used to be..

As said, superbooth next month in Berlin is preferred by both fans and press above music messe..

I second that, and there‘s also a trend to release new instruments independently from tradeshow dates. See the best Roland released in the past 7 years: Integra was released in autumn.

Here is a list of all the exhibitors:

Thanks. Kurzweil, Korg, Nord, Roland and Yamaha are present.
It‘s quite a small scale, 13,000 m2 total indoor area. The building is normally used as a childrens‘ leisure center.

Which means : Roland, Ketron, Casio, Kawai, Moog, DSI and many more where not present.

But whats worse much of the press that usually reported wasn’t there either.

But Eric's and my post were about Superbooth in May, not Musikmesse.
