Musicorp is a combination of several previous companies, and they have a very wide variety of items. One of the things they have that is different from other companies we have worked with is musical instruments. They have guitars, percussion instruments, orchestra instruments, band instruments, keyboards, harmonicas, and lots of accessories. They have great specials and promotions going on all the time. Visit their website at www.musicorp.com. See what they have to offer (over 19,000 items) and let us know what interests you! Most items can be drop shipped to you, and we usually have better pricing than what is listed on their site. Take a look and contact us: sales@aritexsales.com

Photography by Ruda Blair - Used by permission RECENT NEWS Although we did not attend the ARA convention in Atlanta this year, Aritex is still here and ready to serve you. We hope your business is picking up, and will soon be hearing from you. Many of you know we have moved into our home office. We are no longer building cases and props, so our 8000 sq. ft. warehouse was no longer needed. We now have a company building our cases from our own plans. We can still provide you with the same lighting and accessories, trusswork, staging, dance floor, tents, chairs, and service with the quality and knowledge you have come to expect from Aritex. We are having phone issues as our previous service was not available at our home, so either contact us by email, or call me at 972-243-0887. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

EXCITING NEWS In the past few years, LED lights have become the
big push for energy savings, heat savings, and efficiency. Gone
are the days that require you to have large generators on your event
site. You no longer have to worry about making your guests hot
from the high wattage par cans. Gels and gel frames no longer
need to be taken out to every job. And the best news about LEDs
is they are becoming brighter, easier to operate, and more affordable.
Look for our new page of LED values. HOT NEW IDEAS! This past year we have seen a lot of interest in trusswork and chain hoists. More people are stepping up to more professional ways of lighting by "flying" their lights from trusswork. This is what the concert venues do, and it makes installation much easier. Once the chain hoists are in place, you lower the hooks to lift your trusswork. With the trusswork a few feet off the ground, you can attach your lights, use the corded remote control to raise the trusswork with your hoist, and there is very little ladder usage and a safer work environment. I have found a great source for the hoists, and they have been wonderful to work with. Check with your local venues to see if they need someone to come in and light events. It is a great return on your investment, and a niche not many people can fill. |
