New range of guitars, ukuleles and accessories launches for children.
Musical instrument distributor JHS is to launch a range of Yellow Submarine instruments and accessories for young children.
The range – for children from three years and up – includes a ukulele and a junior half-size guitar outfit (including nylon strung guitar, carry bag, guitar strap, pitch pipe, spare set of strings and plectrum), along with two-inch-wide polyester webbing straps from 39″ to 58″ and a variety of picks.
The guitars are available in two designs, the ukulele in four and the straps in three. All are illustrated with colourful scenes from the film. There will be no fewer than 18 picks, each featuring a different character, logo or scene from the film set against a yellow, white or multi-coloured background.
The deal was secured by Caroline Mickler on behalf of Apple Corps.
All the items in the range will be available from both toy and music shops.
“The fantastic Yellow Submarine designs, the wonderful songs and the positive message the film sends out about music make it an ideal inspiration for a range of colourful, fun and totally fab instruments,” said Ben Chapman, media and artist coordinator at JHS. “We’re delighted to be working with Apple Corps to help budding Beatles to learn, play and make happy music on instruments specially designed for them.”
Caroline Mickler adde: “These delightful instruments and accessories are not just the right size for young musicians, but they are also very high quality and look fantastic.
“I’m certain they will be a marvellous inspiration for any young kids who love music and want to play on their very own instruments.”
