PRS Guitars

The PRS brand has been active on the music market since 1985. It had a difficult path to success in competition with the already established giants, but it quickly showed its competitors a raised middle finger, in the form of high-quality electric guitars with an unmistakable design and typical inlays in the shape of flying birds on the fingerboard . Instruments from PRS workshops have gained popularity among many guitarists worldwide and you can see them in action in the hands of Carlos Santana or Mark Tremonti, for example.

Godin

Start making guitars where there's a pack of hungry competitive wolves rampaging behind your fence? It takes guts and a really perfect plan!

Fender

Boss guitar effects

Connect a number of effects to the pedalboard, switch and try combinations of sounds, that's exactly what you can do with us as you wish. You can use guitar effects with the Boss logo to build a sound palette so varied that even Picasso would drop his brushes and start playing the guitar.

Drum section

At last year's Festiwall, the manufacturer Mapex presented a gigantic drum kit, and we're just shaking our heads in horror at what they'll present this year.

Pianos, keyboards and various chemistry…

In addition to new keyboards from traditional manufacturers Yamaha, Korg, Nord and Roland, you can also try Casio instruments at a special stand or try out modern controllers and synthesizers from Novation and Arturia.

Hammond and Leslie

Back in 1935, Mr. Hammond introduced the world to the first Hammonds, and at the time he probably had no idea what a stir his invention would cause among musicians. The sound of the legendary electric organ was later embellished by Donald J. Lesley with an iconic speaker box with a surround rotary sound, and the star duo was in the light of God. You can also try this stellar keyboard delicacy at the Festiwall.
