Black Friday music deals: brands to watch
From our experience of the market during Black Friday, we know of a few brands that you should definitely have on your radar in 2024.
If you’re after studio gear, keep an eye out for Focusrite, ADAM Audio, and Novation – we’ve already cut the price of the Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen), but watch this space for more offers! SubZero is another one to be aware of, you can find some great prices here.
Software- and digital-wise, FabFilter, Arturia, and u-he are the key players this Black Friday, perfect for expanding your plugin collection.
For content creators, Rode is one to consider – we’ve seen a bunch of new launches from Rode this year, and now they’ve gone a step further by adding some Black Friday deals to their offerings.
For live sound engineers or performers, you’ll want to watch Bose and Sennheiser. With in-ear monitoring becoming ever popular, even for smaller, more intimate gigs, Black Friday is the perfect time to pick up a reliable system from an esteemed brand like Sennheiser.
If you’re looking to browse deals from brands that pretty much cover all bases, we recommend looking at G4M and Roland. And of course, there’s Fender and Epiphone. If you’re a guitarist looking to add to your rig, these are the brands to consider this Black Friday. For acoustic guitarists, keep an eye out for Hartwood offers.
If you’re a drummer looking for a new kit or to add to your existing setup, Premier is where you’ll want to be.
Finally, if you aren’t aware, Yamaha is currently running a cashback promotion until 15th January 2025 that covers a select few digital pianos, electronic drums, and guitars. Black Friday sees them expand this offering with some great deals across various categories.
