Musical Instruments

Did you know that one of the most iconic effects in history was born from a broken tube and at first barely sold at all? Fuzz appeared by accident in 1961 and gradually changed the sound of the bass, of rock and of a whole generation. See its story from the Maestro FZ-1 to the Big Muff and hear a massive test of fuzzes on bass guitar from the second episode of StompStory.

It is evening by the fire, everyone wants to sing and... the guitar stayed home, because it did not fit in the car. Sound familiar? For the road there is a pile of small musical instruments that you simply throw in a backpack and they play great. We look at travel guitars, the guitalele, the kalimba and the cajon, which replaces a whole drum kit at the campfire.

Drumsticks all look the same, but you feel the difference between 5A, 7A and 2B in the first second of playing. We explain what the numbers and letters mean, when to take a wooden and when a nylon tip, and which drumsticks are best for a beginner.
