Find the right Black Friday deal for you

Know exactly what you want? Choose a brand or budget above. Still exploring? Start with your instrument, your next project or the person you’re buying for. We’re a family of musicians, here to help you find something you’ll enjoy long after the sale.

The main shortcuts show the full matching sale selection. Brand and budget shortcuts narrow the same collection. Use the product filters to combine your preferences, or choose All In-Stock Deals to start fresh. Check individual listings for the latest availability, specifications and condition.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday: one collection, one code

Black Friday starts on Friday the 13th… lucky you! Shop from 08:00 GMT on Friday 13 November until 23:59 GMT on Friday 4 December 2026. The same promotion includes Black Friday on 27 November and Cyber Monday on 30 November.

Selected products are already reduced by up to 88%. Enter BLACK5 at checkout online, or quote it to our team in our Birmingham showroom, for another 5% off the displayed sale price of products in this collection. Savings vary by product; the maximum reduction does not apply to every item.

We’ll add more deals throughout November. Products and quantities change as stock sells, so check back for fresh finds. Some used, ex-display and B-stock items are one-offs: check each listing before ordering.

Shop music deals by budget

You don’t need a big budget to find something useful or put a smile on a musician’s face. The budget buttons use the displayed product price before BLACK5, so the extra saving comes afterwards.

• Under £25 — Smaller musical surprises and practical accessories. Check compatibility where required.
• £25–£50 — Gift ideas and useful additions to a setup.
• £50–£100 — Explore pedals, practice accessories and musical treats.
• £100–£500 — Compare instruments, amplifiers and equipment for your next step.
• £500–£1,000 — Explore a bigger upgrade for stage, studio or home.
• £1,000+ — Browse higher-value instruments and equipment; speak to us about your requirements.

For example, a displayed sale price of £100 becomes £95 with BLACK5, before any delivery charge. Compare the complete setup cost too: an electric guitar may also need an amplifier and cable, while some stands, pedals and accessories are instrument-specific.

Find a deal from your favourite music brand

Brand shortcuts keep you inside the Black Friday collection, so you can compare relevant promotional products without losing track of the offer. The available selection changes as stock sells.

• Fender Black Friday deals — Explore Fender instruments, effects and accessories in the sale; choose the exact model and specification that suit your playing.
• Yamaha Black Friday deals — Compare the Yamaha products included in this campaign. Check the individual listing for its features, condition and what is supplied.
• Marshall Black Friday deals — Browse Marshall amplifiers and selected lifestyle gifts, from a sound upgrade to a little rock ’n’ roll for the home.
• Blackstar Black Friday deals — Explore Blackstar amplifiers and pedals for your next sound. Check each model’s power, connections and intended use.
• Taylor Black Friday deals — Compare Taylor acoustic and electro-acoustic guitars in the campaign. Body size, pickup system and playing feel matter as much as the finish.

Buying a gift for a musician when you don’t play?

You don’t need to know your humbuckers from your headstocks to choose a thoughtful present. Start with their interests, your budget and whether they want an instrument, something useful or a music-themed treat.

For a gift without needing to match a particular guitar or keyboard, compare music-themed finds such as the Marshall Jack Rack or Marshall sunglasses. Our Carry-On foldable piano is another route for someone who enjoys experimenting with music; check its size, features and included accessories before deciding.

Strings, cases, cables, pedals and stands can make useful gifts, but they are not all universal. If you’re unsure, tell our team what instrument or equipment the recipient owns. A quick conversation can prevent a lovely present becoming the wrong fit.

Choosing your first instrument

The right first instrument is one you want to pick up again tomorrow. Consider comfort, the music you enjoy, where you’ll practise and the complete cost of getting started.

• Acoustic guitar: can be played without an amplifier. Compare body size and feel; an electro-acoustic can also connect to suitable amplification.
• Electric guitar: plan for a suitable amplifier or headphone setup and instrument cable. These are not automatically included with a standalone guitar.
• Keyboard: check power requirements, speakers or headphone connections, key size and whether a stand or bench is needed.
• Used or B-stock: can offer value, but read the condition description and included items before deciding.

Start by comparing the SQOE L001 electro-acoustic guitar, selected Westfield acoustic options and Roland GO:KEYS keyboards. These are starting points, not interchangeable packages: check the exact model, handedness and contents.

Make more music at home

Think about space, neighbours and how you like to practise. A smaller amplifier, portable keyboard or useful pedal can make your existing setup more inviting without turning the spare room into a rehearsal studio.

For headphone practice, check that the instrument or amplifier has a suitable headphone output and confirm the connection required. A headphone socket is not implied by every product in our home-practice selection. Valve amplifiers and heads also have their own speaker and safe-operation requirements: ask us if you’re unsure.

Recording, mixing and creating

Building a home recording setup or giving your current one a lift? Explore selected mixers and creative equipment. Start with what you need to connect: microphones, instruments, computer, headphones or speakers.

A mixer is not automatically a multitrack audio interface. Check USB functions, inputs, outputs, software requirements and power arrangements on the exact model. Our team can help you compare the connections before you buy.

Drum and percussion deals

From shakers and tambourines to drum hardware and selected kits, there are ways to refresh your rhythm at different budgets. Small percussion can be a playful gift; hardware and kit upgrades need a closer compatibility check.

Read listings carefully: a shell pack, a complete drum kit and an individual drum are different purchases. Cymbals, stands, pedals and stools are included only where the product description says so.

Used, B-stock and ex-display: understand your find

Some of the most interesting purchases have a little history. Our one-off selection includes selected pre-owned, B-stock and ex-display equipment. Each listing should explain the condition, included accessories and relevant inspection details; please ask if you need a closer look.

Condition terms are not interchangeable. Compare the individual item rather than assuming every outlet product has the same packaging, marks or accessories. A single available example can sell quickly, so confirm availability if you have a particular deadline.

Your Black Friday questions answered

When does the Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotion run?

From 08:00 GMT on Friday 13 November until 23:59 GMT on Friday 4 December 2026. This includes Black Friday on 27 November and Cyber Monday on 30 November. In-store purchases must be completed during showroom opening hours within those dates.

What is the discount code?

Enter BLACK5 at checkout online or quote it to our team in store. It takes an extra 5% off displayed sale prices for products in this collection.

Does BLACK5 apply to everything on the website?

No. It applies to products in this Black Friday collection at the time of purchase. Follow the brand and budget shortcuts here to remain within the campaign selection.

Are budget shortcuts based on the price before or after BLACK5?

They use the displayed price before the extra discount. For example, an item displayed at £100 becomes £95 with BLACK5, before any delivery charge.

What can I buy a musician when I don’t know their equipment?

Start with music-themed gifts or ask our team for help. Accessories such as strings, cases, cables and pedals may need to match a specific instrument or setup. Tell us what the recipient plays before choosing a compatibility-dependent gift.

Does my first electric guitar include everything I need?

Only if the listing explicitly describes a package and names the included equipment. A standalone electric guitar will usually need a suitable amplifier or headphone setup and an instrument cable. Check the box contents and ask us to help with the complete setup.

Can I combine a brand and a budget?

Yes. Choose a starting route, then use the product filters to refine the selection further. The shortcut buttons start a fresh selection; use All In-Stock Deals to reset.

Do the six main buttons show every product in a department?

No. The shortcuts show the full matching sale selection, rather than a small set of hand-picked products. Browse all result pages or refine your choice with the filters.

Will more deals be added?

Yes. We’ll add more products throughout November. Products, prices and quantities can change as new offers arrive and stock sells.

Can I use another discount code with BLACK5?

No. BLACK5 cannot be combined with another discount code. It provides another 5% off the displayed selling prices in this collection and excludes delivery charges.

Can I ask for advice before buying?

Absolutely. Speak to our Birmingham team for help with gifts, model comparisons, condition, compatibility, setup requirements and part exchange.
