NAMM is the National Association of Music Merchants and they hold a huge national conference every January (huge = 115K attendants). This is where people who invent new musical equipment go to showcase their project and try to find a marketer.

Here are four photos - a lot more at the site:
Distortion box featuring a 3,000 volt plasma arc.
Ampeg is well known for bass amplifiers. This cabinet is 11 feet tall!
A couple cute Ukuleles
Clever idea from Remo - these drum heads snap on the top of your standard five gallon plastic pail.
