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 />

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 />
