Thank-you to Simone Rebello, the new Director of Percussion at the Royal Northern College of Music for co-ordinating a highly successful and enjoyable Day of Percussion at the college last Sunday. We had great interest from teachers and pit players who could envisage their professional life being enhanced by the convenience of a Xylosynth. We also showed off our latest project, the Xyloteq, a range of physically modelled sounds for the percussionist. Watch this space.
