"Still, soon be Christmas!" beams Mark every
morning and every evening during the drive to and from the shop.
"Urgh," I retort in my usual Ebenezer
Scrooge style, "I'll do my Christmas shopping at the petrol station on
Christmas Eve like last year. Everyone gets wiper blades and a Magic Tree
- the gift that keeps on giving!"
But it seems Christmas is closer than we had all
guessed. Sure, it's exactly seven weeks away yet. That's ages. 49 days...
1,176 hours… erm...
Oh dear, really not much time to do that Christmas shopping, then!
So now is the perfect time to come into the store
to lay claim to that guitar you were going to buy for your daughter, the drum
kit you promised little Timmy and the DJ controller that Gran has been banging
on about for the last six months.
"Pah," you say, "I'll do it nearer the time."
Be very careful. I called a large guitar company to order a five
string bass a couple of weeks ago and was told "Sorry, no five strings
across ANY of the ranges because we're sold out for Christmas. Next
delivery will be in February." Another really big company told us a
very similar story about the availability of some of its most popular digital
drumkits.
So, now really is the time to DO SOMETHING about actually sorting
out that musical instrument gift you were planning. Of course, we
will always give you the best advice we can about your chosen
instrument and help you to make an informed choice from the wide range of music
gear we have in stock. If, however, you are after something a little different
or much more specific to give as a gift, you absolutely must ask
us to check availability NOW, so that we can secure it for you and have it
ready for you to collect before the big day.
Otherwise, can you imagine Gran's poor, sad face as she opens
another pair of sheepskin slippers instead of having it large on her Pioneer
DDJ SX? No, me either…
