As we discussed earlier, the staff of Jax Music recently went to the National Association of Music Marketers (NAMM) event in Nashville, TN. Along with hearing some great music courtesy of the 1352 guitar pickers of Nashville (a line from which song and by whom?), we heard and saw some great new music products. Watch the website for new product announcements!
One little item that we already carry, "Wheatware picks," impressed us even more at NAMM! These picks are made from surplus wheat - yeah, you heard me right. I said wheat, as in amber waves of grain. They look, feel, and (best of all) sound great. They are totally biodegradable (90 days in a landfill). Next time you and your band rock the landfill, don't worry about losing these picks! It's cool. No, you cannot eat them when you are done playing guitar!
Talking with the company representatives, we got the impression that more environmentally friendly musical products are on the way. Here's a few suggestions courtesy of JAX:
1. The 'Al Gore' custom line of Wheatware toothpicks (great for
punching out those pesky hanging chads)
2. Danelectro's new and improved 'dolphin-free' Tuna Melt tremolo pedal.
3. Wind-powered rotating speaker system
All kidding aside, check out the Wheatware picks! They're a little
more expensive, but they're worth it!
