Musical Instruments

The show hasn’t even started and already the air around the Anaheim Convention center is electric! Artists, vendors, press and distributors are all converging on Anaheim to attend the biggest music-gear convention in the world. NAMM 2014 is shaping up to be a monster of a show and Best Buy Canada is here to cover it all.

The price-performance ratio is hard to beat on this piano—you really can’t go wrong. It is a solid product with a good feature set that will enable the beginner or intermediate player to really enjoy the instrument. If you’ve been wanting to take up piano or you’ve been looking for a reason to buy a piano and cost has been a factor, check out the CDP-130CS at Best Buy Canada.

The ONE Light is a digital piano that promises to have even the most beginner of students playing their first song in minutes. Through your iPad, iPhone or Android device you can access many interactive lessons and have hours of fun too. I'll take a closer look at what The ONE has to offer.

The trip to NAMM this year was packed! I thought I’d write a post of some things that personally caught my eye in a head-scratching way. My francophone counterpart, Marc-Andre and I walked dozens of kilometers over the past four days.    Here’s a few of the things that made me go hmmm …   (including the 24 string bass guitar shown here!)

IK Multimedia's iRig USB and HD X are the perfect companions for the modern travelling guitarist or bassist.

The Yamaha FG720S dreadnaught style acoustic guitar and the APX500III electric acoustic feel, play, and sound like guitars well above their price points. In this blog I look at and play both of these guitars that prove cheap pricing doesn’t mean cheap craftsmanship or cheap sound.

Of all the products that Casio has announced this year, I’ve seen much-a-buzz about the new “Millennium Falcon” controller – aka the XW-PD1. And with good reason! There is a lot packed into this little package.

The Oscar Schmidt OS-300 is a Strat style instrument that will interest first time buyers or musicians that want access to those tones at a low cost.

In the crowded market of digital pianos, it’s hard to stand out. The Casio PX-760 seems to accomplish just that feat with a feature-rich package that impresses but at the same time, doesn’t intimidate.

The Lava ME 3 smart guitar will change the way you see the instrument thanks to its modern, digital features and connectivity.
