Maybe you're a friend or family member looking for a gift for a recording musician. Whether it's for the holidays or any time of year, here's a list of great inexpensive items that anyone who records music can use in their studio. Feather Duster, because every studio gets dusty.  Fine- bristled paint brush for dusting gear in crevices.  Korg CA-30 Chromatic Tuner, so everything is in tune. Soldering Iron, because every studio is full of cords that need maintenance and repair.  High Tech Rosin-Core Solder. The best kind for electronics soldering. Cable Tester for various studio cables. John Pearce acoustic guitar strings. Try Medium Phosphor Bronze Wound.[an error occurred while processing this directive]  Mini Mag Flashlight, because every studio needs a flashlight.Magazine subscriptions are always a hit.

Take care of the instrument, and the instrument takes care of you.  On Stage guitar stand. Great stands for studio and stage.
