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. Definitely interested in a beginner guitar, probably the Epiphone FT-100CE by the looks of it. My uncle used to pull out his guitar when we used to visit him in BC but his arthritis prevents him from doing that now and we haven’t seen him in a while now due to COVID too. I’d love to be able to learn so next time i see him I can play him a song or two since he can’t any more.

  2. I would like to try playing the Roland 88 Keyboard. Having played the piano in the past, this portable keyboard would be convenient to take from room to room.

  4. I am most interested in the Epiphone Les Paul Special II Plus Top LE Electric Guitar (ENS2TLNH3) – Trans Blue – Only at Best Buy. I love the colour of this instrument!

  6. I’d be interested in learning more about Epiphone FT-100CE Acoustic/Electric Guitar since it says it is suitable for all levels.

  9. I’m interested in the Epiphone acoustic guitar hopefully if I win I will start learning how to play guitar and play for my children

  11. I would love the Full Size 4/4 Violin Solid Wood w/ Hard Case Bow Rosin Bridge Student Starter – my dream is to play the violin!

  15. I would like to learn more about the Casio 88-Key Weighted Hammer Action Digital Piano. All four of my family took piano lessons and it would be nice to play a keyboard that sounds like a grand piano but is compact and easily moved.

  21. I am interested in knowing more about the Yamaha THR10II Wireless Guitar Amp…..or wireless amps in general. my son is a guitar player….myself, I don’t know a whole lot about the subject, but this is the first i have heard about a wireless amp so I am thinking this is pretty cool!

  23. For me, it’s either a weighted 88-key digital piano, but would love myself an electric guitar to start playing RockSmith on PS5 and hopefully getting our little girl interested in it when she’s old enough.

  24. The instrument available at Best Buy that I am most interested in learning more about is the amazing Epiphone Les Paul Special II Plus Top LE Electric Guitar (ENS2TLNH3) – Trans Blue! It is a beauty!

  27. I’d love to get a digital keyboard that I can hook up directly to my laptop. The future of scoring your own youtube videos is here! I think the CT-S300 connects to a laptop.

  30. Love playing guitar, but always owned (still do) simple Yamaha guitars. Sound good for what I need and how much I play. Always took an interest in Les Paul. Id be interested in hearing more about the Epiphone Les Paul Special II Plus Top series

  37. I’m most interested in learning more about acoustic guitars, but I play lefty and on the Best Buy site the only lefty guitars are not sold by Best Buy. The one I’m most interested in from my search is the Fender Newporter Player Acoustic-Electric Guitar – Walnut, Candy Apple Red, Left. It looks so cool. Here’s the link: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/fender-newporter-player-acoustic-electric-guitar-walnut-candy-apple-red-left/13428108

    I’m currently learning the ukulele, and just bought a second one!

  50. Tell me if this makes sense… flatus 19 outbreak… mandatory flatus filters… socially distant… yeah, my introverted quarantine has me thinking I should examine the electric guitars, Or something along similar lines.
