    – Press Release

    True North Music Productions has announced the release of The Dragonfly Personal Powerless
    Stethoscope Amp, a lightweight, portable amplifier that requires no cords,
    electricity or batteries and allows musicians to maintain their chops in
    virtually any environment.

    The Dragonfly is fitted with suction cups that attach to the backs of
    most electric or bass guitars. The device amplifies a guitar’s sound into
    headphones, which are included. The straightforward stethoscope technology
    produces natural, studio-quality sound and is an upgraded version of the
    same technology used in a doctor’s stethoscope.

    The Dragonfly provides players with a lightweight, natural
    amplification device that can be transported anywhere. Both amateur and
    professional musicians who travel often and need to practice without
    disturbing anyone or play in confined spaces such as hotel rooms use the
    amp to play their guitars under less-than-ideal circumstances.

    In particular, U.S. soldiers in Iraq have purchased The Dragonfly
    because it allows them to amp their guitars in an environment where
    batteries are scarce and electricity is often unavailable. The Dragonfly
    also helps musicians play their guitars without disturbing others as the
    headphones restrict the amplified sound to a musician’s ears.

    “We thought that people who love playing guitar would simply play more
    often if the whole process was less cumbersome,” said Bob Cerone, True
    North’s owner and creative director. “We basically tried to create an amp
    that would allow people to play their guitars with great tone and without
    the hassles of batteries or a guitar cord – for more meaningful practice
    sessions and without disturbing anyone.”

    The Dragonfly also attaches to acoustic guitars and functions as a
    vocal training tool. Singers can hear their voices vibrating and correct
    themselves when they’re out of tune. Before performances, musicians can use
    the amp for precise tuning or for instrument adjustments.

    The amp’s patent-pending technology was created by Cerone. He came up
    with the idea for The Dragonfly while playing his acoustic guitar with an
    original rock band when he had a cold. When he placed his ear against the
    guitar to hear the notes, they resonated like a heartbeat. He later
    channeled this experience into designing an amp that projected sound in the
    manner of a stethoscope.
