LOS
ALTOS, CA, May 7, 2007 – FreeHand Systems, Inc. today
announced the addition of KLEMM Music Techonology, to its growing
list of international distributors. KLEMM will be responsible for
product distribution in Germany, Switzerland and Austria and is
aggressively moving forward to develop a large network of retailers
for FreeHand’s innovative technology in these countries. In
addition, KLEMM will be working with FreeHand to develop a German
language version of the company’s popular digital sheet music
website.
“We are excited to be in the German market and think our partnership with
KLEMM positions us to be able to penetrate the music world in this large part
of the European marketplace,” said Kim Lorz, CEO.
Klemm Music Technology is synonymous with technical innovation in hardware and
software products for musicians and is a large force in distribution of music
related products to the German speaking countries of Europe. From notation programs
by MakeMusic, ear training by EarMaster, to sound studio hardware by MotU (Mark

FreeHand Systems is the developer and manufacturer of the revolutionary music
performance tablet, the MusicPad Pro® Plus, the world’s only digital
sheet music tablet which can store literally a limitless number of sheet music
pages. The environmentally friendly pad allows the operator to download from
its online catalog or scan in any piece of sheet music, which then converts to
the pad’s template. The user is then able to annotate or make corrections,
including changing the key of entire compositions in a matter of seconds. The
pad additionally contains a zoom-in/zoom-out feature, an extensive library of
notation symbols, a half-page turn option (for look-ahead viewing in portrait
mode) as well as a back-lit device (making external stand lighting unnecessary).
The MusicPad Pro is accessibly priced at US$899.
The reception of Freehand Systems’ MusicPad Pro among professional musicians
has created an impressive list of early adopters, including Herbie Hancock, Sting,
Josh Groban World Tour, Andy Summers, Jon Anderson, Etta James, Michael Nesmith,
along with orchestras around the globe.
In addition to the MusicPad, the company’s digital sheet music website,
Freehandmusic.com is the Internet’s largest online sheet music catalog,
with over 90,000 titles. Making physical deliveries and exhausting retail searches
a thing of the past, FreeHand online users and its sheet music retailers are
able to digitally download music to their hard drives, printers or to FreeHand’s
MusicPad Pro in a matter of seconds.
