Christmas Gift Ideas From Sound & Vision, Elgin
Christmas time....it can be tricky to know what to buy sometimes, especially for friends and family who play a musical instrument. So to help you out a bit, we talked to the owner of Sound & Vision, Vic Flett, to talk about some gift ideas which are in-stock right now.
Gifts Under £10
Jewellery from £10.00
Clip on tuners from £9.99 - recommended for music students
Clip-On Tuners are really popular right now, and there's a good reason for it. You just clip them onto the headstock of your Guitar/Bass/Ukulele and it feels the note when you play a string. They are accurate and really useful for tuning in a busy environment (band practice, gig). If you don't have a tuner already, we would highly recommend getting one. There's really nothing worse than an instrument that is out of tune.
Mugs from £6.40
String sets from £7.99 (acoustic), £5.99 (electric), £7.99 (classical) - recommended for Guitar/Bass/Ukulele students
Treat your stringed instrument to a set of new strings this Christmas! Just make sure you find out what type of strings you need to buy first. Ask your tutor, or ask the staff in Sound & Vision for some advice.
Guitar straps from £5.99
Glasses from £5.99
Plectrums from 50p recommended for guitar/bass students
Selection of stationery items from 50p
Gifts Under £40
