Los Angeles, CA January 28, 2003—Roland is proud to announce that on 
January 21, 2004, the Museum of Making Music named its fifth gallery 
after Roland Founder and CEO, Ikutaro Kakehashi. More than 80 of 
Kakehashi's close friends and colleagues attended the gallery-naming 
celebration which took place at the picturesque Museum of Making Music 
facility in beautiful Carlsbad, California - also known as the Village 
by the Sea.

Featuring more than 500 vintage instrument exhibits, performances and 
education outreach programs, the Museum of Making Music tells the 
remarkable story of the innovators and inventions that shaped popular 
music. As they walk through the galleries, visitors are treated to 
historic highlights such as Rickenbacker's "Frying Pan" - the first 
commercially available electric guitar - and Roland's groundbreaking 
VS-2480CD Digital Recording Workstation.

After an official ribbon-cutting ceremony, Roland US President Dennis 
Houlihan congratulated Kakehashi with a warm speech honoring his friend, 
and was followed by comments by Larry "Link" Linkin, President of the 
Muesum Board of Trustees, as well as Joe Lamond, President and CEO of NAMM.
