Here is a list of insanely musical instruments for music geeks around the world.

1. Drum Set Isolation Booth

2. Four Channel Digital Mixer

The Xone:DB4 is a truly ground-breaking mixer and by far the most advanced product that Allen & Heath has designed. Every feature has been meticulously researched with a view to offering DJs ultimate creativity. Based on the iLive pro-touring FX system, Allen & Heath developed FX algorithms with BPM conscious parameters and tight spectral control, customized to perfectly fit the DJ environment. As the loops and FX are automatically synchronized to the tempo of the track, it is very easy to build some amazing grooves and soundscapes without problems of latency, low fidelity and the general hassle often associated with using software and laptops. The icing on the cake is the flexible input matrix, where any audio source can be selected on any or all of the channels.

9. Lucite 3-string Electric Guitar

The Electric Loog is cute and small, but it’s not a toy: it’s a real guitar, made out of real wood and equipped with a screaming pickup that sounds amazing whatever style you play. Because it only has three strings and a narrow neck, it’s easier for small children to form chords and to make sense of what they are playing. All Loog Guitars come unassembled, as we believe that building your own guitar is an experience that helps you bond with the instrument in a deeper level. It is also a bonding experience between parents and their children, who can build their Loog together and share their love of music. Loog Guitars pair with the Loog iOS app filled with video lessons designed to get you playing songs -not just scales or exercises- on day one.
