How to Please the Fickle? We are Here to Help
Everyone loves receiving a little gift.
But sometimes the choosing of said gift can be a little stressful.
Musicmaker understands that while we love musicians dearly, sometimes trying to find out what they like is similar to the "Why is the Baby Crying?" question.
It's not their fault.
That's like being angry with a puppy because it has suddenly decided it doesn't like the food.
It happens.
With that in mind, we thought we could compile a handy list of gifts for under €50, that are all currently available in Musicmaker.
Let's go.
mm Premium Leather Adjustable Guitar Straps - Various Hues - €42.95
Have you ever seen what happens when the guitar player isn't strapped in? It's like one of those crash test dummy videos but everything is made of meringue. Save a guitarist today with one of Musicmaker's rather splendid leather guitar straps.
Brushes, Rods and Interesting Sounds for the Drums - Various - From €33.00
It's not always about too much volume. I mean, sometimes, obviously there is way Too, Much, Volume, but these accessories can be used for other means. From the swishy softness of the Pro Mark Broomsticks, to the flappy slaps of the Vater Poly Flex, to the absolutely timeless sounds of a tasty bit of brush playing, these tools can open up a whole new sonic world.
Also though, there's the volume thing.
