Here’s a roundup of great finds under 2500 yen!

Good evening!
I'm Kaoru, a composer!!

This time, I’d like to introduce some recommended items you can get on Soundhouse for under 2,500 yen.
The reason I chose this price range is simple:

"It's affordable for middle and high school students using their allowance or part-time job money."

These are all super handy items to have on hand, so please check them out!

GRECO / PKC-450/B

A pick case with a simple design and an eye-catching brand logo. It’s super lightweight yet highly durable. Over time, it might get a few dents without you noticing, but that only adds to its charm!

Although it's technically a pick case, you can use it however you like! It's perfect for storing things like medicine or loose change, making it useful in all sorts of situations.

At such an affordable price, it's great to have more than one. It also makes a perfect gift for friends!

ROWIN / LC-18 Brown

This capo from Rowin, known for its high quality and excellent value, locks firmly in place despite its low price, giving you great peace of mind. It’s the clamp-on type, so you can attach it with a single touch—perfect for live performances!

Capos are one of those items that can easily go missing, right? Having one for home and keeping a spare in your guitar case or backpack can be a lifesaver!

Available in three color options!

ON STAGE STANDS / SLD209

A slide bar that brings out a unique sound.

I bought one recently, and it's so much fun! It really sparks creativity, so I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of inspiration!

They come in various materials—steel, glass, wood, brass—each offering a different sound, so I’m excited to try out a few more!

K&M / 14640

A footrest that’s incredibly useful for seated performances. Having one makes a huge difference in playability!

Not only does it improve playing comfort, but it also boosts stability. It’s foldable and super lightweight, making it easy to carry around!

By reducing strain on your body, it’s a great tool for long practice sessions.

MegaHouse / Demon Slayer Othello

Soundhouse, known for its wide range of products from camping gear to military and fishing cases, really surprised me this time! I thought I’d seen it all, but…

This was unexpected! (laughs) I just discovered they even have a "Toys & Games" category!

Most of the items aren’t music-related at all, but they’d be great for killing time with friends during live shows or studio sessions.

Perfect for bonding with your music buddies!

MegaHouse / Demon Slayer Othello - Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku

There’s even a Rengoku version! It would make a fantastic gift for kids too!

KORG / Rimpitch-C2

This tuner attaches directly to the sound hole of an acoustic guitar. You can leave it on all the time, so there’s no risk of losing it, and you can tune up without any setup!

It has excellent visibility, making it reliable on dark stages or outdoors.

Despite its simple design, it supports tuning in all scales and keys—and it’s compatible with nylon-string guitars, too!

CLASSIC PRO / GFC002 Flat Patch Cable

This flat, “kishimen”-style patch cable has a sleek, compact design that adds flexibility and keeps your pedalboard looking tidy.

It not only improves the appearance but also makes maintenance easier—all for a budget-friendly price, making it a great choice for guitarists building larger pedalboards!

KORG / IE-1M In-Ear Metronome

This metronome fits in your ear like an earbud. It clips securely from the lower part, so it stays in place even with movement. It’s especially recommended for drummers and bassists who need to keep perfect time in their practice!

Despite its compact size, it offers a variety of settings, making it versatile for practicing different music genres. Plus, it’s cordless, so there’s no extra hassle!

CRESCENDO / Industry 20 Ear Protectors (Earplugs)

These ear protectors feature a unique shape that provides excellent sound isolation and a comfortable fit. They’re perfect for protecting your ears during long practice sessions in loud environments like live venues and studios.

For musicians, ears are everything! It’s essential to make ear protection a habit.

They’re great not only for practice but also for times when you need to concentrate.

D&A Guitar Gear / GST0200 GIG Strap Pad (Wide)

This strap pad reduces the strain of carrying heavy instruments like guitars or basses. It attaches directly to your strap, so you can keep using your favorite one.

Stay comfortable even during long practice sessions or live performances! If you struggle with shoulder pain, this is worth a try.

That wraps up my list of recommended items under 2,500 yen! There are plenty of great, affordable items out there—definitely give them a look!
