DHR Benedetto Opening Celebration Highlights

June 2009 - To celebrate our new showroom, we are hosting a series of opening celebrations, with a focus on the individual manufacturers that we represent. Our second in the series was with Benedetto Guitars on June 27, 2009. We had live entertainment, refreshments, Benedetto guitars along with music-related sculpture and photography on display, and a free guitar giveaway valued at approximately $3,000! Congratulations to Stan Forston of Cincinnati, OH, who won the free guitar donated by Benedetto Guitars! We also had Bob Benedetto and Howard Paul of Benedetto Guitars provide a presentation on the art of archtop making, along with a Q & A session.

Everyone had a great time. If you were unable to attend, we welcome you to join us at our future events which we have scheduled throughout the summer and early fall. Stay tuned for information on upcoming events.
