Dear Valued Customer,<br />

We are aware and sensitive to the constraints<br />

that the economic conditions of the past few<br />

years have placed on your budgets and your<br />

ability to acquire the quality furniture and<br />

equipment that you need. At <strong>Wenger</strong> we want<br />

you to succeed….after all, our tag line is “Your<br />

Performance Partner”. We know that you desire<br />

the best quality products and that means<br />

<strong>Wenger</strong>. We want to help in that pursuit. To<br />

that end we are announcing that <strong>Wenger</strong> will<br />

not increase its catalog prices for the<br />

2012/2013 catalog year. That’s correct 0% increase!<br />

As the market leader we want to take<br />

a stance that for the upcoming year, due to<br />

these economic times, you should have no<br />

price increase.<br />

On the cusp of the 2011/2012 catalog year<br />

<strong>Wenger</strong> introduced many new products such<br />

as our new Nota® conBRIO chair, our<br />

Flex Conductor’s System, our new lower<br />

priced Edge Instrument Storage System,<br />

new SoundLok Sound-Isolating Practice<br />

Rooms, and many others. These products<br />

were included in the 2011/2012 <strong>Wenger</strong> Catalog.<br />

Because we will not be changing our catalog<br />

prices, and because all of these new products<br />

were already included in the current<br />

2011/2012 <strong>Wenger</strong> catalog, we have decided<br />

to forgo the printing and distribution of a new<br />

catalog for 2012/2013. Consistent with our<br />

commitment to environmental responsibility,<br />

rather than reprint, we ask you to reuse your<br />

current 2011/2012 Catalog for another year.<br />

So…hold onto your 2011/2012 <strong>Wenger</strong> Catalog<br />

for product and pricing information. Of<br />

course if you need or desire a new catalog,<br />

please contact us at 1-800-326-8373 and we<br />

will be happy to send you a new hard-copy or<br />

one of our popular CD-based versions. You<br />

can also access our catalog, 24-7 on-line at<br />

www.wengercorp.com/catalog.<br />

This fall 2012, <strong>Wenger</strong> will also launch a new<br />

and improved <strong>Wenger</strong> Website to assist your<br />

product research, ideation, and purchasing requirements.<br />

Look for more information regarding<br />

new features and interactive planning<br />

tools coming soon!<br />

Be assured that you will continue to receive<br />

updates on our newest product innovations<br />

and corporate announcements through e-mail<br />

communications, our web-site, or socialmedia<br />

sites. Visit <strong>Wenger</strong> on Facebook at<br />

INNOVATIVE NEW PRODUCTS<br />

<strong>Wenger</strong> is committed to bringing you new products and services each and every year.<br />

Our product development teams are dedicated to understanding what happens in your<br />

teaching and performance spaces every day and what challenges are faced, particularly<br />

with acoustics, space and equipment management and traffic flow. Our products are<br />

designed by a team of engineers within our facility that has spent time listening to your<br />

experiences and developing products that will assist you in the future.<br />

In 2011, we’re introducing some exciting new twists on existing products. For starters,<br />

we have our economical and innovative new Edge Instrument Storage System. Next,<br />

changing the way students sit and practice their instruments has resulted in the most interesting<br />

new chair we’ve introduced in years – Nota ® conBRIO. We’ve also improved some of our<br />

most popular products including our SoundLok Sound-Isolation Rooms. They now have an<br />

increased NIC/STC rating, more options for aesthetics, better lighting and expanded color choices.<br />

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT<br />

As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, <strong>Wenger</strong> has committed itself to think<br />

their creation affects everyone – our customers, our community, our country and our<br />

NEW CONSTRUCTION SERVICES<br />

We’ve accumulated over 65 years of experience working with thousands of educators<br />

all over the world. Our representatives understand what it takes to design a music suite,<br />

performance area, black box theatre, or athletic team room and equipment storage<br />

area successfully. We also understand how seemingly insignificant design elements<br />

can jeopardize their effectiveness. We have gathered this information into a series of<br />

helpful guides designed to assist you and your planning team as you research and<br />

plan for your space. <strong>Wenger</strong> representatives are available to meet with your planning<br />

team and discuss areas such as acoustics, floor plans, storage solutions and<br />

equipment needs.<br />

02 • OUR LATEST INNOVATIONS<br />

Our Latest Innovations!<br />

Some of our breakthroughs are easy to see, others need to be experienced, but each is an<br />

improvement in performance and value over anything else available. Virtually every <strong>Wenger</strong><br />

product goes through a redesign assessment as we continuously strive to improve our product<br />

line. Sometimes that means a product redesign, sometimes an all-new design. Either<br />

way, our pursuit of perfection never stops and always leads to great products like these.<br />

Edge makes it possible to store your complete instrument and uniform inventory for considerably<br />

less money without sacrificing <strong>Wenger</strong> quality. You’ll still take advantage of patented polyethylene<br />

shelves, heavy-duty hardware, and aesthetics that match any decor. The difference is Edge has an<br />

open-back, shared-column design that reduces materials and helps the environment.<br />

Posture Chairs<br />

Chairs need to support the musician, but they<br />

also shouldn’t restrict the natural movement<br />

of performance. Imagine a chair built on a<br />

dynamic frame that provides perfect support<br />

while it also actively engages the body and<br />

encourages it to move with the music. We did<br />

and call it Nota conBRIO – “With Vigor!”.<br />

NEW CONSTRUCTION • 05<br />

Expertise you should leverage early and often.<br />

The success of your new facility depends on your plan. Call<br />

<strong>Wenger</strong> before you start and we’ll help you design your ideal<br />

environment, perfectly balancing budget, needs, space, and<br />

traffic like no other resource. For nearly seven decades we’ve<br />

helped thousands of educators and administrators get the most<br />

out of every dollar for new construction, renovations, additions,<br />

and improvements. In fact, no other company in the world has<br />

spent more time with music educators or studied more types of<br />

music facilities.<br />

The planning process for these types of facilities can vary from<br />

project to project. Fortunately every process follows a timeline of<br />

similar steps that we can help you prepare for. From the passing<br />

of a school bond to design, bidding and construction, <strong>Wenger</strong><br />

can help you be ready every step of the way. We can share our<br />

expertise and experience in this process to help you make yours<br />

a success.<br />

Your <strong>Wenger</strong> representative is in tune with music performance<br />

and education and will help you make smart, cost-effective decisions<br />

on everything from product selection to space allocation<br />

to stretching a tight budget. You’ll also benefit from our close<br />

working relationship with architects, ensuring your satisfaction<br />

by providing them with a trusted resource for the complexities of<br />

rehearsal-space and performance-space design.<br />

Please keep in mind we can also collaborate with your<br />

committee and give you the support and resources you need<br />

to persuasively present your plan. It’s also important to know<br />

that from concept to completion, putting <strong>Wenger</strong> experience and<br />

expertise to work doesn’t cost you a dime.<br />

“<strong>Wenger</strong>’s Planning Guide gave me some real<br />

practical ideas which we used in two junior high<br />

music facilities – they turned out very well. I’m<br />

amazed that some architects don’t take advantage<br />

of the materials <strong>Wenger</strong> has available. The<br />

Planning Guide is easy to read and offers excellent<br />

information.”<br />

– Edward K. Skahan, Vice President, Director of<br />

Design, Kluber, Skahan & Associates, Inc.,<br />

Batavia, Illinois<br />

“The Planning Guide was absolutely my bible<br />

during this project. It gave me a standard to<br />

reference and included some things I never would<br />

have thought about, related to room size, space<br />

usage and acoustics.”<br />

– Marc Riegel, Band Director<br />

Chapman Middle School, Chapman, Kansas<br />
