The award winning pBuzz now comes in the colours of Dennis the Menace and the characters from the Beano. Someone is guaranteed to make a noise this Christmas morning then...

The Beano pBuzz
  The Beano pBuzz is sure to be a a great hit this Christmas...

There is a great little musical Christmas present for youngsters this year wishing to have their first blow towards what could be a fledgling brass band career.

Beano

The award winning pBuzz manufactured in Britain by Warwick Music Ltd now comes in the iconic design of the anarchic characters from the Beano comic!

And for children who like making a noise, then they are sure to enjoy themselves learning to play with Dennis the Menace, Gnasher and Minnie the Minx — although parents may want to limit their practice regime on Christmas morning…

Huge hit

The award winning pBuzz has been designed as a fun way to get children into creating music and has been a massive hit since its introduction earlier this year. Tutors have been delighted by its easy to understand pitch notation which enables children to learn quickly and easily create music, thanks to its unique design.

The new Beano pBuzz comes in attractive colourful packaging and also contains a sticker set so that children can customise their pBuzz with more Beano-inspired artwork.
