If music be the food of love, then it should make a tasty present. We’re not just talking about the usual gift of a CD or even a record token (as we used to call them in the old days before gangsta rap and X Factor). We’re talking instruments, games and even metal men figures!
Musical presents are in the news this week thanks to the parents of teenybop sensations The Jonas Brothers. Lucky singer Nick Jonas, who just turned 17, received a very special piano from Mum and Dad Jonas to celebrate his birthday – the one that he used to create the group’s first song. Apparently, the piano had to be tracked down, which begs the question – how on earth to you lose a piano in the first place?
You don’t have to spend thousands of pounds on a shiny instrument for your budding musician. For those with a Wii, the new and fifth edition of Guitar Hero has just been released, with songs from the Arctic Monkeys and a new “party play” (translation: shuffle system for the attention deficit-ridden) mode to help gamers unleash their inner Slash.
In fact, you don’t even need to buy something that makes noise in order give a present that celebrates a love of music. Take a look at some of the enchanting Hinz and Kunst nut and bolt men in our Music section at All Things Gifts. From bass players to conductors, every kind of musician and musical taste has been thought of!
