Gifts for Musical Dads

October 17, 2007 by GreatDad Writers Leave a Comment

Still thinking about what to get Dad for the holidays? Let GreatDad.com guide you with our top recommendations of gift suggestions for dads. And, since we’re dads ourselves, we went beyond the usual suspects of slippers, ties, sports and other predictable presents to offer ideas that will not only surprise him but will let him know that you truly appreciate all he does.

Calypso Steel drum – $89.90 Diatonically tuned, this steel drum is a good intro to steel drum music. Smaller than a traditional “steel pan” drum, it can be played by young kids as well.

Congas – $599 If you’re looking for a fun gift for a percussionist, but can’t have a full set of drums in the living room, these congas are a fun instrument for young and old. They can even be played in an apartment if you use a Tala Wand (a type of birch or bamboo drum stick) without losing your lease.

A couple of pair of bongos – $25.99 If dad loves music and likes to party, buy 2-3 pairs of bongos and break them out when guests come over. You don’t have to be an expert to play the bongos and it’s easy for a party to get swinging when several people are playing at once.

QwikTime Metronome – $16.95 If the musical dad on your list does not have a metronome, we’ve found a perfect one that is inexpensive, easy-to-use, portable, and has a pleasant woodblock sound.  The price at $14.95 can’t be beat.

Klutz book – $0.01 How to Play the Harmonica – Anyone can play the harmonica, which is a fun instrument for accompanying little ones while they sing. Like everything worth doing, it just takes practice. The klutz book takes the mystery out of it and includes a good intro-quality instrument.

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks
Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad. Connect with us at greatdad.com and watch the video version of these podcasts at YouTube.com/greatdadnews
