Hal Leonard has acquired exclusive distribution rights to new products that have been successful in making music spaces safer for combatting the COVID-19 virus.
Hal Leonard partnered with Gibraltar to produce two new sound and virus shields. The 3-panel Acrylic Lesson Room Divider stands 5 feet high and 6 feet wide. The new Music Stand Shield was designed so it can sit on the shelf of any standard, sturdy music stand, turning it into a portable 24” x 30” clear shield. Gibraltar also offers a five-panel drum shield and an amp floor sound shield that could also be put on counter tops.
The CapN Shield Clear Plastic Face Shield slides onto the brim of any baseball cap or visor to give the wearer instant protection. Made in Wisconsin, they are 100 percent reusable so they can be cleaned and shared. The Singers’ Mask is a professional cloth face mask made by Broadway professionals for the Broadway community. These are designed to keep the cloth well off your mouth and features side vents to improve air flow.
Hal Leonard is also distributing several COVID-19 fighting products from Gator, due to their distribution agreement for Gator’s Levy’s Leathers brand. Hal Leonard will distribute their wind and brass player’s masks with flaps allowing the instrument to touch your lips while you keep the mask on as well as Brass Bell Covers that cover the bell of any brass instrument.
