Members Hearafter Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 "A tuba" I suggested a guitar and an amp, so that he'll stop banging mine around. "Oh yeah, that too." he said. So, my question is still this: What should I get him? Should I just get some POS "First Act" guitar and amp? Keep in mind, he's 6... and likes to break things. Suggestions? P.S. he's not getting a tuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hearafter Posted December 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Try this: http://www.rondomusic.com/product904.htmlEmre but for only $30 more I can get this: Epi Pee-wee... something With an amp (that somehow runs on a 9V battery), strap, cable, and gig bag. Is there anything better out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Trauma_Luna Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 My nephews love to play drums, and each of them is between 5 to 7 years old , also they are charmed with breaking things, thats why I think that a drum set is perfect,i do not think that he will estimate a guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chubrocker Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hmmm. How about a MM Stingray. But, tell him he can't play with it until he's 16! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Hearafter Posted December 7, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Yeah, I just noticed that... But that's the kind of thing that I'm looking for... $120 for everything he needs to make a ruckus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hunter6 Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Why aren't you getting him a tuba?Haha, maybe he wants to play tuba. Get him a French Horn or something, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members el_duderino676 Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 How about this: you rent him a tuba and pay for lessons and if he decides to stick with it, eventually get him the tuba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. #1, Isn't a French horn just a small tuba? A 'Tubette' as Rowka put it.#2, who even plays tubas? The fat nerd in the marching band, that's who.#3, I'm not renting something that little Carly Coldsore has been slobbering all over. Thanks, though.

Marching bands almost always use sousaphones instead of tubas. Besides, Carly Coldsore might be hawt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to lean this way... but I'd really like to get a complete package deal (with a case and a strap, etc) I'm still not sold either way.

Members jonathan_matos5 Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 A euphonium(baritone) would be more fit to a 6 year old and no a french horn is nothing like a tuba. Why no tuba:confused: Now i want a tuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Noise... Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Personally, I'd go for a short scale SX or something. Or, maybe one of those Epi LP Jr's that he can grow into. As for an amp, I'd go for small and decent, Check out a Marshall MG10CD. I think they're ~$60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're nearly better off buying seperate sometimes. Some of the stuff in those kits can be pure rubbish. Pick up something like a roland microcube or even a little marshall practice amp.

Members LittleWoodenBoy Posted December 7, 2007 Members Share Posted December 7, 2007 Why are you so dead-set against Tubas? As somebody in a Bass forum I would think that you might appreciate the Tuba's role in a band. Now I own a Tuba, and it's expensive as all get-out. I'm not arguing with you and saying that you should buy one for your kid, but lay off the Tuba hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, get him an Olds Ambassador trumpet/cornet. If he digs that, he can dig other brass later. Otherwise, there are usually Squier packs on Ebay with a little amp/strap/cable/some other {censored}.
