Highlights of the Newport Guitar Festival - April 2010!

April 2010 - At the Newport Guitar Festival in the greater Miami, FL area, DHR Music had a large booth where we displayed a wide range of instruments, including: guitars, mandolins, basses, lap steels, and keyboards. We were the official representatives for Collings, Benedetto, Breedlove, Hahn, Hamer, and Beard Guitars. Joining the DHR Associates were DHR Endorsers Dillon Hodges and Joel Cross, as well as Breedlove and Benedetto Endorser Tim May and Miles of Music TV's Bob Miles.

In addition to the large display of world class instruments, we debuted two new exclusive offerings, including: custom veneered guitar-shaped chairs, and custom painted Hahn guitars. We had live music at the booth as well as several stage demonstrations and a flatpicking guitar clinic by Tim May and Dillon Hodges. In addition, we submitted a custom blue guitar in NGF's Blue Guitar Exhibit.

Last but not least, we held a drawing for a free guitar, valued at approximately $600. Congratulations to our winner, Robert Gill of Key Largo, FL!
