Keeping musicians happy is relatively easy. Give them something that makes noise—the stranger the better—and they’re off happily into a comer for days. So, as yuletide rolls around, consider treating your musical friends and/or loved ones to a nifty noisemaker. Let Aunt Ruthie get them the green argyles—let Uncle Jimmy buy them Scrabble.
The real problem, of course, is that most musical noisemakers are priced a bit higher than socks and board games. But we’re talking about artistic expression here, and hey, that’s a priceless commodity. And good quality musical instruments are actually less expensive today than they were just five or so years ago.
