BLACK SMOKER, the flagship brand of Grandy Base Tokyo, has released its long-awaited new series, the " Urbanite Series" ! This exciting new model is a return to the brand's roots, bringing to life an active model that was conceived when the brand was founded, in 2026, the year of its 10th anniversary.
In this broadcast, we will provide a thorough explanation of the first batch of Sound Messe 2026 models, including live demonstrations. You will get to experience firsthand the newly developed 22-fret body, the original preamp developed in collaboration with Ovaltone, and the wide-range yet full-bodied sound that fits the modern music scene.
The Urbanite Series, the "third BLACK SMOKER" following the TradMaster and Standard, is attracting a lot of attention. Be sure to check out its overwhelming playability and sound capabilities in real time. We'll also be answering questions and requests during the broadcast.
