Also Wildly Useful for Those Secret Santa Moments!
Musicians eh?
Love them or hate them, they walk among us. From the dandy swaggering of the Guitar Player to the furtive, sideways skulk of the Drummer, to that strange knocking, prance thing that Keys players do....
It's proven that the best way to keep them happy and interested in their Own Things and out of the fridge, is to give them little gifts now and then.
It being the festive season of gift-giving, we thought we could put a little handy list together of fairly inexpensive items, currently available in Musicmaker, guaranteed to delight and distract your favourite musician.
Bless their hearts.
Musicmaker Sustainable Guitar Straps - Various Awesome Colours - €19.95
Do you want to excite a guitarist while simultaneously garnering a wealth of Karma? Of course you do, as I'm fairly sure we all want to be reincarnated as Dolphins.
There is no finer way to achieve this than through Musicmaker's glorious range of sustainable guitar straps, lovingly made from recycled material in Portugal. Indeed, I feel better about myself just typing this, so can you imagine the joy of receiving one........? You can almost feel the salty water slipping gently over your dimpled hide as you dart and whip through tropical seas.....
Music Nomad Instrument Cleaning - Various
Is your guitarist a dirty, dirty boy? Has the drummer been rooting in the bins again? Nothing says "For God's Sake, Clean Up Your Act" like Music Nomads excellent range of cleaning and maintenance products.
Kyser Capos - €23.00 mostly
If you know a guitar player there's a pretty solid chance they just lost their capo. That or they spend around 20 minutes searching the pockets of gig bags every time the song requires one. Make their little lives easier with a Kyser Capo, available in a range of colours and styles.
Gel Tone Control for Drummers - From €7.99
Does your drummer sound a little funky? And not in the James Brown kinda way, more the "that's a weird sonic smell" kinda way. Why not give them a little bit of control over those overtones with a packet of tiny control gels. With offerings available from Tuner Fish, Vater and Evans, your drummer will undoubtedly grunt with delight, as all they've ever wanted was a little control.
Slide for Guitar - Various Materials - From €7.95
Looking to start a Blues band but the guitar player won't stop it with those pesky chords? Wishing your brother/sister would sound a little more Muddy Waters and a little less Puddle of Mudd? Gift them a handy guitar slide and watch the transformation unfold before your very eyes!
Music Books! All Types and Styles! - From €9.95
Nothing says "I Love You" like the chance to improve yourself because you're a failure in my eyes and I need to get out of this relation.....
Ahem.
Music books are a terrific gift that is completely unloaded. For all Musicians.
No! You're a Tool! - From €11.99
Does the guitar player fancy him or herself as bit of a Luthier? Did you overhear some pained muttering about "action" "truss rods" and "fret levelling"? No, we don't know either but you can make their Christmas/Month/Life with the gift of self sufficiency.
It's like that thing with the man and the fish, probably.
Look at his little face. Bless.
