Best in Show

This year marks the 10th anniversary of “Best in Show.” To celebrate, host Frank Alkyer, publisher of Music Inc. and UpBeat Daily magazines, has assembled a who’s who panel of independent music retail buyers. They’ve shopped the show floor, and here, they’ll reveal the best products and services at Summer NAMM. These are the standout products you’ll want to see before you go home—gear that’s certain to be a big deal in the fourth quarter. You might just find out about your next runaway best-seller.
