Market-leaders already signed up for the show include newcomers Yamaha of Japan, and Young Chang of Korea - one of the oldest and most prestigious piano manufacturers in Asia. Exhibitors coming back for a second time will include Steinway & Sons and Warwick of Germany, AXL and Electro-Harmonix of the USA, Pearl River Piano of China, Tom Lee of Hong Kong and Fazioli of Italy. A supporting programme of special events is being arranged to flesh out the show. The programme is likely to include competitions, live performances and educational visits.
Music China will be joined in 2003 by a new international exhibition in China for the professional audio and entertainment lighting industry, ProLight+Sound Shanghai. This will cover sound production, broadcasting and recording equipment, lighting, laser technology and special effects for the entertainment industry, stage, studio and event technology, and pro-audio and lighting-related computer hardware and software.
