If you’re a guitarist who has always wanted to learn the banjo, here’s a great banjo giveaway from the Banjo Hangout. Up for grabs is a Savannah SB-080 5-string banjo, a quality beginner banjo with resonator, which retails for $306.
Summer is right around the corner, so let’s get ready for some campfire chicken pickin’!
What’s a Banjolele? C’mon, you have to ask? It’s a genetic experiment gone terribly right, as the banjo and ukulele are now one! It’s like a marriage between an Hawaiian princess and an Appalachian coal miner. What could go wrong?
David Prat is a fretted instrument maker in Barcelona who just happens to make such an instrument! And the guys at Banjo Hangout have gotten their hands on one for this month’s banjo giveaway.
You got excited about the last TurboHarp giveaway, which happened a few months ago, and here’s another from the Pittsburgh, PA, harmonica company. They have some harmonicas and accessory bags ready to go to a handful of lucky winners, if their Facebook page hits 2,200 likes by the end of February.
If you’re not already a fan, go check them out. If you are, get your harp-loving friends to like TurboHarp’s Facebook page.
Looking at the Native Instruments Maschine 2, it reminds me of the time spent playing Simon as a child, but I have a feeling there’s a lot more going on here!
The Maschine 2 is actually loaded with over 6GB of killer sample content, plus a full version of Native Instruments’ Massive virtual synthesizer. It works as both an instrument and a controller, giving you 16 multi-color pads, 9 rotary encoders, and 47 buttons.
Halloween is about a week away. Do you have your costume ready?
If not, how about going as a well accessorized guitarist? Don’t have the gear? Then enter to win the Rocktoberfest 2012 gear giveaway from GuitarTrump. One lucky winner will score a 50-pack of GearPipe picks in your choice of thickness, a Trustworthiness of Guitars poster, a Halloween-themed “mutant” set of LOXX USA Strap Locks, a Pick Punch, a pack of Guitar Trump picks, a pack of DR NEON Guitar Strings, and an LCD eWriter (perfect for you songwriters who hardly ever carry around a pen and paper).
Here in Denver we got a slight dusting of snow this morning, which makes me want to hop on a plane to Hawaii! Mike at Moku Ukuleles must have known, and got me in the mood with a new uke giveaway on the Moku Facebook page.
I think Moku is making some beautiful and affordable instruments, and here’s your chance to win a Moku Choice Series SFS-12 soprano ukulele.
I always love it when a company takes a new angle on an old instrument. TurboHarp has taken the harmonica, an instrument that many would say was perfected by Hohner over 100 years ago, and really created some beautiful new products.
TurboHarp recently launched a new Facebook page, and celebrated their 100th “like” by launching a harmonica giveaway. Head over to their website to find how how you can win a TurboHarp Turbo Twenty Deluxe harmonica. These harps come in five very attractive colors and sell for $59.99.
Summer’s almost over, but there’s still time enough for one more trip to the beach for some sun, tropical cocktails, and tunes played on a ukulele.
This ukulele giveaway, sponsored by Kala Ukuleles and Dunlop, adds a bit of twistedness to the typical uke. These instruments were hand-painted by San Francisco based artist “Dirty” Donny Gillies, who is widely known for his work in the rock, punk and metal music realms, designing album covers, show posters and band merchandise for the likes of The Melvins, Queens Of The Stone Age, and Metallica, among many others. Dirty (as I like to call him) painted two Kala Solid Acacia Ukuleles, each of which will go to one lucky winner. And Dunlop will send a box of brand new Dunlop Ukulele Strings to each winner.
Here’s a chance to win a serious heirloom banjo. I mean, this is something you can pass on to your sister’s cousin’s son (also known as your brother).
Seriously, though, Vintage-35 banjos from Sullivan Banjo Company sell for over $4,000, and the word on the street is that they’re worth every penny. The winner of this banjo giveaway will also have a chance to customize their banjo. They will get their choice of maple or mahogany, and can choose to have a speed neck if desired.
A few months ago I introduced you to my friend Mike at Moku Ukuleles.
Well, he’s just teamed up with Ukulele Underground for his first uke giveaway. This is a video contest, and you already need to own or have access to a ukulele, but if you do, this is worth entering. The prize is a Moku Choice Series SFT-46 Tenor model ukulele.
