new musical instrument

Every January, new musical technologies that we hope to soon see available at Best Buy are announced during the Namm show. This year there are lots of new instruments and other music gear getting announced, and we are covering some of these on the blog. The show is different: like we saw with CES 2021, Namm too has gone virtual. They call this year’s show “Believe in Music” almost as a rally cry. Do you believe in music? I do … and have organized this contest to help more people across Canada embrace their inner musician in 2021. Read on to learn more, then enter for a chance to win one of these great prizes.

Are you ready to have more music in your life?

Musical enjoyment changed last year. Many of us had plans to attend a concert, or at least visit a neighbourhood pub to hear a local band. Those events disappeared overnight, leaving a void for many of us. Online videos, some from our favourite artists, helped a little. However, virtual concerts don’t capture the intimacy of thinking, “that song is getting played just for me.“

I believe music is more than the sum of its parts. It’s not just hands on a guitar or piano, a breath passing through a hollowed tube, or a polished stick hitting a shiny drum. It’s emotion exchanged from one person to another, stirring deep understanding and empathy, sometimes of joy, sometimes of pain. Many of us, including me, feel we are most alive when entranced by a song. I relate to Namm’s “Believe in Music” theme—especially this year. It’s a timely call to action for all of us.

It’s easy to get the right musical instruments

Perhaps you’ve been thinking about bringing a new instrument into your home but wondered “How do I buy an instrument during the current situation?” On the Best Buy Blog, we’ve been working extra hard over the past few months to raise awareness of good quality instruments available at Best Buy that fit every budget. We published detailed review articles of guitars, pianos, amps, and more, complete with videos so you can hear how the instruments sound. Also, it’s easy to order from Best Buy, and they have a customer friendly return policy in case you decide you want a different instrument than the one you initially ordered.

Additionally, we have regularly been holding great musical instrument contests. Vendors like Casio, Epiphone, Roland, Joyo, Singsation, and Jasmine have provided the samples we have sent to bloggers to review. They also asked us to give those samples away to customers when they return from the blogger. At the time this contest began, there was already one in progress for Casio keyboards. So, enter this contest for a chance to win a guitar, or a ukulele, or an amplifier, or a karaoke machine.

How to enter

Entering this contest is easy, but you can only enter once. In a comment below, tell us which instrument available at Best Buy you are most interested in learning more about. We’ll look over all of your comments and hopefully be able to acquire samples of some of the instruments you mention to use in future review articles, and eventually give away in future contests.

What you can win

At the end of this contest, we’ll randomly draw eight (8) winners to receive one of these prizes: two Epiphone acoustic guitars, one Jasmine acoustic guitar, one Joyo 10W acoustic guitar amp (MA-10), one Singsation Classic Karaoke machine, one Singsation Karaoke Party System (SPKA75), and two Mahalo Ukuleles.

This contest runs from January 25th to February 10th.

Remember, you can only enter once in a comment below. However, there are so many prizes here that if you tell all of your friends, perhaps you and someone you know will win and you can start a band!

  2. I would love to win a guitar or ukulele. I started teaching my three year old before we had to move and leave it behind. She and I would both love to continue the adventure!

  3. Definitely would want to know about the Singsation Karaoke Party System. So when Covid is over we can get back to having fun.

  5. Any guitar would be awesome , my 9 yr old granddaughter listens to her grandpa play all the time , then grandpa gives her a turn , she would love her own to play with him.

  7. Any guitar would be awesome! My daughter really wanted one for xmas. Would make for an awesome bday gift!

  12. Hands down Electric guitars – which I’d love to learn more about; the good side of the pandemic/restrictions has been to enable us to explore/do things that we would have never done before. Learning about how to play music is something many of us should consider between now and the next pandemic!

  16. Any of the guitars would be amazing the kids wouldnt have to fight over the one we have but I’m partial to karaoke so I’d love to win one of those systems

  21. Definitely interested in the Singsation Karaoke Party System (SPKA75).. it would be so much fun!! My grandkids would love it & I think we’d all be taking turns trying our best at singing lol..

  26. I’d love to learn more about an Epiphone acoustic guitar! I’m a teacher and my students love to sing as a class! I took guitar lessons when I was a teenager but I need to touch up my skills! Hopefully if I did I could play the guitar while my class sings along! They’d love that!

  34. I would love to win the Scherl & Roth SR41 Student Violin Outfit. I have 3 young ladies that would love to learn to play. They teach themselves to play instruments and they are excited for this opportunity.

  35. My granddaughter plays acoustic guitar and ukulele. Winning one of these instruments would be awesome. The Joyo 10W acoustic guitar amp (MA-10) would make great sound for her when she plays.

  37. I’d like to learn about the full Size 4/4 Violin Solid Wood w/ Hard Case Bow Rosin. I had no idea Best Buy had instruments and i’ve already had a strange dream of playing the violin.

  40. I’d like to learn more about the BeaverCreek Spruce Crossover Guitar/Ukulele. I’d like something smaller than a guitar, but bigger and deeper in tone than a ukulele.

  41. I’d like to learn about the Epiphone FT-100. A great name brand with a nice price. I’ve been trying to learn guitar during COVID but have a relatives old guitar that sounds horrible and need a new one. Winning one would be amazing, thanks guys!

  45. The joy of being a new grandmaw has brought up some old things i used to do with my own children. which was to play the guitar for them to amuse and entertain them. now one of my children has grown into a self taught guitar player too and id love to have a chance to play guitar with him again and for my grand child. i know that id choose the Jasmine guitar for its fit and high quality and it will last me years and years. as a novice blues player id like to pick up where i left off years ago with Stevie Ray Vaughan songs. BB King, Pete Segar, Sonny Terry and Brownie Mcghee , Mississippi John Hurt and other blues legends. someone has to show our children and grand children the blues masters and immerse them in deep heart felt music from the soul and im the grandmaw shark to do it. heck i cant be the only guitar playing tattooed grandmaw out there. i know there are more women like me with a passion to show the young generation whats important from the
    great musical past.

  46. I would be interested to learn more about Best Buy’s Mahalo Ukulele. That’s one instrument I think I might have fun learning!
