Going to mt first ITG this year as it is close enough to drive. I see that some vendors have private rooms. Does that mean they just have a seperate room for their wares and everyone in attendance of ITG is welcome to come or is there more a invitation or appointment type deal? I want to browse and tryout some yamaha and pickett stuff on my day there.

I'm assuming this year's is similar to past ITGs. If so:

The public rooms are usually large conference rooms that are not divided between vendors. You might have Schilke, Thompson Music, Stomvi, Ken Larson, Fred Powell, Kanstul...all with booths in a large, loud public room.

The private rooms are for a single vendor. Getzen/Edwards, Bach, Yamaha, Shires, Pickett/Blackburn...might each have their own smaller, quieter room.

If you have an ITG pass you can visit both the public and private rooms.

ITG is a great experience. Have fun!

The above is correct.

The idea of a private room is 2 fold: A. Better control of the noise level. B. Better individual attention.

There is no data to support if this is the case but it certainly is the goal.

Give yourself plenty of time to see everything you can!

Best, Jon

David Monette, when he still came to ITG, insisted on a private room for his booth. He believed the player could better appreciate the sound of an instrument in a room without 25 guys playing "dubba-Cs" as loudly as possible. I think the merit of this idea is obvious.

I hope you have a great time at ITG.

We have had a private room in the past to attempt to control sound levels in the room but that is impossible. We now go with the big room and try to find quiet places to send customers with a horn or two so they can hear it on their own.
See you at the ITG

At a conference I attended a few years back Courtois had a Wenger sound booth at their display. It really helped.

I thought this only happened at the annual Chicago Trumpet Hangs (on the occasions when there are folks in attendance who can actually play double high C's at a louder than a wish-I-hadn't-tried volume).

I left several rooms because of volume levels. It was offensive at times. I spoke to Hub Van Laar and he won't attend a show unless he can get a private room. I really appreciated those private rooms over what I had dubbed 'gen-pop'.
