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!

  1. Learning music and mastering a musical instrument were always on my list of things to do once retiring from the working world. Now with so much free time on my hands the instruments of choice that intrigue me are the Ukulele and Guitar. Idle hands are the devil’s handmaiden, please save me from the devil.

  3. The Sherl & Roth SR41 Studen Violin Outfit for my granddaughter. She already plays thge piano quite well and has a strong interest in music. I believe the challenge of learning the violin would suit her quite well and that she would be up for the challenge. Thank you Best Buy for another amazing giveawy.

  6. This year I am determined to learn to drum! It’s been on my bucket list since I was a kid. I’m eyeing the Carlsbro Electronic Drum Kit!

  12. Would love to win a Singsation Karoke machine to help with my little grandsons “bumpy speech”. Singing helps so much … he’s three … and I can see a marked improvement sing we started him signing!

  16. I’m most interested in learning more about the Korg C1 Air 88-Key Weighted Action Digital Piano with Stand (C1AIRBK) sold at Best Buy.

  17. Any of these my kids would love !we have a music room instruments are an investment in a child’s life or anyone’s life for sure!!

  18. I’d get the Jasmine Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar (S35), it’s a great beginner guitar for me to start learning on.

    • I’m interested in learning more about the Yamaha A5R Acoustic-Electric Guitar. I would love to learn how to play.

  26. Acoustic guitar would be great to start learning. would only need 1 though. so maybe split the prise with someone else if I Win 🙂

  34. That’s a tough one as I’m torn between the Yamaha YCL-450NM Bb Clarinet as I played one years ago or the Carlsbro Electronic Drum Kit (CSD130XXX) as I’d love to learn out to play them!!

  35. I would love to learn more about the Roland Weighted 88-Key Action Digital Piano. I would love to know more and perhaps even get one as I would love to learn how to play the electronic piano, going beyond playing Chopsticks on a regular piano. Digital Piano’s can do so much more than the piano that sat in the corner of the Boy’s and Girl’s Club that I attended as a child.

  40. I am quite interested to know more about the Roland V-Drums Electronic Drum Kit (TD-1DMK)! I’m staying out of the studio for practice during the pandemic, and my drumming skills are getting weaker without the ability to play a loud acoustic kit at home. Does the lack of, “real,” hi-hat stand affect the use of it much? Will there soon be a Roland electronic drum kit available for under $1000 that has one?

    Also, most electronic drum kits don’t come with a pedal or throne. Do you offer any package deals that include them?

  42. HOMCOM Electric Guitar with amp for kids/beginners… My 11 year old daughter has just started playing and asked for an electric guitar, would love to win her one

  46. I would love to win Carlsbro Electronic Drum Kit (CSD130XXX). I absolutely love the drums, this would be great.

  48. The Epiphone acoustic/electric guitar sounds so versatile – I’d love to learn to play an instrument like that.
