So that was the Thomann Cyber Monday sale - which was actually part of their Cyber Week event. It helped musicians save money on gear for a full 7 days. Cyber Monday was your last chance to save, but now the prices have shot back up.

In addition to up to 60% off a huge range of gear for all types of musician, there was money to be saved on software, too, during the sale. Their Download Deals offered up to 80% off plugins from Ableton, Output, Avid and more.

For guitarists in particular, there were some insanely good value deals to be had on Thomann's in-house brand Harley Benton.

These were similar offerings to last year where we saw mega discounts on everything from guitars and drums, to recording gear and keyboards. If you're a UK or Europe-based musician and were looking to save some cash, Thomann was the place to shop.

That's it for this year, but for the Thomann Cyber Monday deals 2023, this will be your destination for all the latest news to help you scout out the best offers.

Thomann Cyber Monday deals: Does Thomann do Cyber Monday?

There was a time where Thomann didn't run any official Cyber Monday offers, however there is always a bargain to be had on the site, so technically every day is Cyber Monday.

That said, for the last couple of years the Euro-giant has entered the fray big time, with hundreds of deals running for a full week from before Black Friday through t Cyber Monday itself - this year on 28 November - with a whole raft of reductions across a hand-picked range of products covering guitars, amps, pedals, synths, drums and more. 

Last year they called it their Cyber Week Sale, and it delivered savings of up to 60% on hardware and an even bigger 80% off selected software. You can see a few examples of last year's deals further down the page. 

Thomann Cyber Monday deals: When will they happen?

The Cyber Monday Thomann sale itself kicks off on Monday 28 October. 

Although the official event doesn't take place until this date, just like most retailers, we predict that some Thomann Cyber Monday offers may start rolling out much sooner. 

Last year, some retailers started slashing prices from as early as late-October, and didn't stop until well into December. We're already seeing other retailers kick off their their early deals fests, and we're excited to see if Thomann follows suit this year.

And last year's Thomann Cyber Week sale carried on well beyond Cyber Monday, meaning there were many opportunities to grab a bargain.

Thomann Cyber Monday deals: What can you buy?

Thomann stocks pretty much everything any musician could ever want, so it's a great place to go if you want to give your studio an overhaul, upgrade your guitar rig, expand your drum kit or start learning a new instrument. You might head to the website planning to buy an electric guitar, but the company also sells all the music making products you could ever wish for: MIDI keyboards, studio monitors, beginner digital pianos and much more.

The Thomann Cyber Monday sale could also be the time to stock up on those music making accessories that we would deem essential: we're talking things like acoustic guitar strings, guitar tuners and guitar straps. If you can make music with it, it's more than likely that Thomann will stock it, and it may just enjoy some sort of discount on Black Friday.

Of course, Thomann has become well known globally for its fantastic budget brands too, including the formidable Harley Benton. This line of guitar gear is cheap enough as it is, but last year there were some particularly strong HB discounts on Cyber Monday. Stock will be limited on the very best Harley Benton deals, so you'll need to act fast to get your hands on one. We'll keep you posted and share the latest news here as we get it.

Thomann Cyber Monday deals: How to prepare

The best advice when hunting for Thomann Cyber Monday deals is to know what you're looking for in advance. Whether you're a guitarist, bassist, drummer, producer, pianist or DJ, think about what you need to improve your music-making life and then start researching it. This will save you a lot of time when the Thomann Cyber Monday deals start dropping, as you'll quickly be able to decide what's relevant to you and what isn't. There will be so many deals coming your way on the day that being able to cut through the noise is super important.

Also make sure you're clued up on current prices – that way you'll know how good a deal really is when you see it reduced on Cyber Monday. Some supposed 'savings' aren't everything that they seem.

The good news is that you can easily find out what the best music-making products are by checking out MusicRadar's huge portfolio of buying guides and reviews.

Don't forget that Thomann isn't the only major retailer offering Cyber Monday savings, either. Check out our retailer and Cyber Monday product pages below for even more options and to zone in on the deals you're looking for.

Here's just a flavour of the hundreds of products that were discounted last year.

Harley Benton Dullahan: £339, £279
We lost our heads over this deal. Harley Benton's headless Dullahan models have been one of the coolest new additions to the HB roster, and with 18% off, this one was even cooler. 24 frets, a roasted flame maple neck, Roswell humbuckers and finished in a fetching Ice Blue Gloss. What more could you want?

Sire Marcus Miller P7 Alder 4 AW: £409, £319
Few bassists come close to the funky feel and technical ability of Marcus Miller - last year you could snag a piece of that action for 22% off! The alder body is finished in Antique White, while the fretboard is ebony. You get a pair of Marcus Super Precision split coil pickups, and the Heritage 3 preamp gives you control over the mid frequencies. It's a combination of classic and modern, and at this price it didn't hang around long!

Harley Benton ST-62CC RW: £125, £109
This S-type guitar packs a lot of punch for just over £100 (that's 13% off). It’s a basswood body with a maple neck and Pau Ferro fingerboard, a classic trio of Alnico 5 single coils, tremolo and we think the Lake Placid Blue finish looks the business too.

That's Benton Blue finish is pretty sweet, too.
