EL SEGUNDO, CA, May 4, 2010 - Mogami Cable, a division of Marshall Electronics, is joining the Traveling Guitar Foundation in their mission to bring much needed equipment and funding to music programs financially devastated by budget cuts.

Major contributors include co-founder Keith Ballurio of Ballurio Guitars which provides hand-crafted guitars for auction. The guitars travel the country and are autographed by some of the countryfs leading artists and rock legends. According to Marks, 100% of the proceeds are then given directly to schools.
Schools are either eliminating or drastically cutting back on programs and music courses are the first to go, notes Marks. Our foundation not only raises money, but we also donate tangible equipment like guitars, amps, straps, pics and cableeverything students need to get started. Dean Guitars is a major contributor to the programs guitar kits.
Mogamis contribution to the foundation includes Mogami Gold Instrument cables for guitar/amp kits that will be presented to students at an upcoming charity event. We want to support young artists and also show them what its like to work with really good cable, says Phil Tennison, Product Manager at Mogami Cable.
