German supermarket, Aldi, which specialises in offering very cheap grocery and household ranges has launched a line of musical instruments in its UK stores.
It’s certainly nothing new to find supermarket’s dabbling with the lower end of the market but, in the UK at least, Aldi’s image is very bargain basement. It’s about the cheapest place you can go to get your shopping and you don’t go there if quality rather than price is your main criteria.
It offers an Electric Guitar Starter Pack which costs £89.99, but only available online.
It comes with amp and accessories, including a carry bag, lead, spare strings and plectrums. You can also buy an adult’s full sized keyboard for £69.99 which comes with light up keys and detachable music stand.
The range also includes guitars for £34.99 each which come in three different sizes – the 36″ student guitar, the 39″ classical guitar or the 41″ acoustic guitar. And there’s also two wooden percussion sets for £9.99.
