MOTM

I would only do it if you could show a new product, even if they were
prototypes.  A new product at NAMM would get you press in SOS,
Keyboard, Elec. Musician, Harmony-central, sonic-state, etc...  
Otherwise going there without a new product may get you no publicity
at all. 

Maybe you can work out a deal with Eric Barbour where you send him a
small 2 rail system, so he can display his 2 new tube modules.
