From a hand-sanitizing hi-hat stand to DNA healing tuning forks, here are 5 absolutely unhinged music products in the Amazon Big Spring Sale – plus 3 I'd actually buy

The Gibraltar SC-HHSS is exactly what it sounds like: a hand sanitizer dispenser that bolts to your hi-hat stand and dispenses gel whenever you press the pedal. You step on the hi-hat, you get sanitized. You play a groove, you get sanitized. You accidentally hit it during a fill, and now your snare is slippery, and your entire kit smells like a hospital corridor.

Yes, I know tuning forks are real, legitimate tools used by musicians for centuries. So far, so normal. But somewhere along the way, the wellness industry got hold of them, and now Amazon is absolutely overrun with tuning fork sets marketed not for tuning instruments, but for healing your chakras, repairing your DNA, and resetting your nervous system.

This particular 10-pack claims to support everything from “emotional and spiritual awareness” to stress relief, chakra balancing, and even DNA healing. DNA. Healing. With a metal fork.

If you've spent any time on the internet, you'll have seen Otamatone covers of famous songs, and the sound is, well, interesting, to say the least. Yes, this instrument is cute with its little face and mouth, but the sound it produces is something that will haunt your nightmares.

The Shure MV7 is a serious, professional-grade microphone used by podcasters, streamers, and vocalists alike. It is a tool. A piece of gear that costs real money and commands a certain level of respect. So naturally, someone decided it needed to be bedazzled.

This pop filter replacement swaps out the standard MV7 windscreen for an identical one, same foam density, same noise-reduction performance, but crucially, it comes with a sparkly rhinestone retainer ring.

Nothing says “I love music” quite like storing your bourbon in a 1,000ml glass guitar. The Kuyra Guitar Whiskey Decanter is a guitar-shaped glass vessel that comes with two matching whiskey glasses and a wooden display stand, marketed as the ultimate gift for musicians and music lovers.

Here’s the thing, this isn’t even really a music product. It’s a novelty decanter that got listed in the musical instruments category because it’s shaped like a guitar. The product description promises it will be “a striking centerpiece for any home bar décor” and a “conversation starter,” which is technically true, because if someone sees this on your bar, the conversation will be, “Why do you have a glass guitar full of whiskey?” And you will not have a good answer.

Let’s kick things off with the Fender CD-60S, hands-down one of our top picks for the best beginner acoustic guitars around. It’s a perennial favorite, and for good reason, this guitar balances affordability, playability, and that signature Fender tone.

Ditching the menus and making powerful modeling simple, the Line 6 POD Express is a good fit for someone looking for a straightforward modeler or a capable backup for a rig. Featuring 7 amps, 7 cabs, and 17 effects all derived from Line 6's renowned HX software, it's packed with tone and currently on a 12% saving at Amazon.

This guitar audio interface is absurdly cheap at just $29.99, allowing you to practice and record your guitar with your mobile device and a pair of headphones. You can connect via the headphone input on your phone, or if you don’t have one, then it will work with a 3.5mm jack to USB-C converter. The only caveat is that the mobile version of the Amplitube app only works on iOS, so Android users will have to use a third-party software to get their tones.
