The curtain has risen on the National Association of Music Merchant (NAMM) trade show — one of the largest events of its kind in the world, and where a host of leading UK brands are making a significant mark.
Packer return
John Packer Musical Instruments returns to the event in Anaheim, California, alongside Rath Trombones, Taylor Trumpets, Sterling Musical Instruments and the Rudall Carte woodwind brand.
JP Musical Instruments is a regular attender at the event, having grown from a regional high street music retailer to a global dealer of brass and woodwind instruments.
In recent years, UK instrument manufacturers Rath Trombones and Taylor Trumpets have come under the JP umbrella and continue to produce bespoke instruments which have increasingly found admirers with leading professional performers.
Instrument relaunch
Meanwhile, the relaunch of Sterling Musical Instruments and Rudall Carte sees the return of the respected names to the brass and woodwind landscape.
JP Musical Instruments is also proudly displaying its King's Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category — which it was presented with for a second time in May 2025, recognising the outstanding international growth of the flourishing business.
The NAMM Show runs until January 24th, with JP Musical Instruments and its associated brands found at booth 8924.
