We record the price of every product in Thomann's catalog every night. Between October 24 and 27, 310 prices went down and 104 went up.
A drop makes this list only if it is a real one: the old price had held for at least two weeks, and the new price is the lowest we have recorded since August 17. 234 of this week's drops pass both rules: 130 in guitars and basses, 28 microphones, 22 drums, 15 PA products, 13 studio products and 11 keys.

Where the numbers come from. Thomann's partner feed, which we read every night. We compare each product's price on October 23 and October 27, 2026. A drop counts as real when the old price had held for at least 14 days and the new price is the lowest since August 17, 2026. Prices are in euros, converted at the European Central Bank rate.
