Donner's Carbon Fiber Instruments Hit NAMM

Donner Music, the global music technology company focusing on developing instruments that over-deliver on tone, value and innovation, showed the all-star lineup of best-selling products and revealing new instruments at this year's NAMM conference. Over the past 10 years, Donner has expanded from an effects pedal only company to a full line of instruments poised to redefine what value means to the beginner or intermediate modern musician.

Building on the success of their new digital pianos, electronic drum sets, and the DST Family series electric guitars, Donner is set to deliver more innovative products with new technology and advanced materials including:

The Rising-G Pro Carbon Fiber Guitar

Several new carbon fiber instruments join Donner's growing MI product range and can be demoed at this year's NAMM. The Rising-G Pro Carbon Fiber Guitar (launching in early July) is crafted using an innovative new manufacturing technique allowing Donner to deliver extremely precise instruments that are thinner and more durable than the traditional wooden counterparts. The Rising-G Pro has won numerous design awards globally and musicians of all skill levels will appreciate the light weight and playability of this carbon fiber guitar. The Donner design team improved resonance by 35% over other carbon fiber guitars and also crafted a new improved classic tone that is brighter with a fuller low-end.

With its C-shaped neck contour and meticulous workmanship, the DST-400 is a reliable choice for musicians in pursuit of greatness.
