If you’re in the market for student or intermediate-level instruments and accessories, the Music & Arts upcoming Black Friday 2025 sale is definitely worth checking out. Here’s a look at hat we’re expecting to see from them this year, from the likely sale dates to typical discounts.
When Will the Music & Arts Black Friday Sale Start in 2025?
Music & Arts usually kicks off their Black Friday sale a bit earlier than most retailers. For 2025, it’s expected to begin on Thursday, November 20, 2025. That’s a full week before Thanksgiving.
The sale will likely run through the long weekend, ending on Sunday, November 30, 2025, or until supplies run out. These dates aren’t official yet, but they follow last year’s schedule. Just remember that some items may sell out early, especially the doorbuster deals, which are limited-time offers.
The same deals will likely be available both in-stores and online at musicarts.com.
Discount Levels to Expect
One of the main promotions during Music & Arts’ Black Friday sale is a sitewide discount. Based on last year, we’re expecting them to offer 20% off orders of $99 or more. On top of that, they usually have a handful of doorbuster deals with discounts up to 50% off. These are typically bigger-ticket items like student instruments, intermediate-level gear, and select accessories. The doorbusters are usually limited in quantity, so if you see something you want, it’s better not to wait.
Another deal that is expected to return is their lesson promotion. Last year, they offered a Buy 3 Lessons, Get 1 Free deal using a promo code (the code was B3G1 last year). If you’re considering starting lessons, this is a good time to lock in some savings.
Shipping-wise, they’ve previously offered free delivery on orders of $25 or more. They also typically allow 30-day returns, which is helpful in case you need to exchange or return an item after the holidays.
Examples of Sale Items from Last Year
Looking at last year’s sale gives us a good idea of what we might see again in 2025. Here are some of the standout deals they had during the 2024 Black Friday sale:
1. Bach BTR201 Student Bb Trumpet – 50% Off
This was one of their biggest doorbuster deals. The Bach BTR201 is a well-known student trumpet, often recommended by band directors. A 50% discount on an instrument like this is pretty rare, so if they bring this back, it will probably sell out quickly.
2. Jo-Ral Mutes – 25% Off Select Models
Jo-Ral mutes are popular among brass players, and last year Music & Arts offered 25% off select mutes. This is a solid deal for brass musicians looking to upgrade their accessories.
3. Allora 250 Series Woodwinds – Up to 40% Off
The Allora 250 Series includes beginner-friendly flutes, clarinets, and saxophones. Discounts of up to 40% were available last year, making these instruments a great value for students.
4. Strobel ML-205 Recital Series Violin Outfit – $600 Off
If you’re in the market for a step-up violin, this was one of the biggest discounts last year. A $600 price cut on the Strobel ML-205 made it a standout deal for advancing violinists.
5. Bellafina ML-10 Student Violin Outfit – $100 Off
For beginners, the Bellafina ML-10 was marked down by $100. This outfit includes the violin, bow, and case, which is everything a new student would need to get started.
6. Rozanna’s Violins – $100 Off Select Models
Rozanna’s Violins are known for their artistic designs and student-friendly build. Select models were $100 off during the last Black Friday sale.
Exclusions and Fine Print
While Music & Arts’ Black Friday sale is usually broad in scope, there are always some exclusions. High-end professional instruments might not be part of the main discounts. Brands that have strict pricing policies may also be excluded. It’s important to check the fine print once the sale is live.
Also, doorbuster deals are often “while supplies last.” That means once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good. It’s a good idea to check early in the sale window if you have your eye on a specific item.
To get all the details, you can always call or visit your local Music & Arts store. The staff there will have the most up-to-date information about which products are included and any brand-specific exclusions that might apply.
