Acoustic Guitar Doorbells

This Doorbell Plays a Very Different Sound Than You're Used To

— April 29, 2014 — Art & Design
If you're tired of the old ding dong that's associated with the average doorbell and you don't want to invest in a little jingle that will drive you insane after four plays, then you should look into the guitar doorbell. The guitar doorbell is a half sized acoustic guitar that you attach above your doorway to serenade visitors as they walk into your home.

The genius behind this device is Dave Lynch, who owns the Guitar workshop in Sacramento. While the obvious draw to the device is that you have a cool guitar sitting above your door that will wow people as they enter, you also get a fully functioning guitar that can be taken down and used.

If you're ever not expecting visitors you can even have a little jam session with your doorbell.
Trend Themes
1. Musical Doorbells - Innovations in the doorbell industry are moving from basic chimes to musical devices that add personality and fun to a home or business’ entrance.
2. Multipurpose Home Decor - Designing products that serve multiple purposes, such as a guitar that doubles as a doorbell, can offer a unique selling point and added value to customers.
3. DIY Instruments - As interest in music and DIY projects grow, there is an opportunity to create more functional and unique instruments like the guitar doorbell that offer a fun and practical experience.
Industry Implications
1. Doorbell Manufacturing - Companies that manufacture and sell doorbells can consider expanding their offerings to include musical options that appeal to a wider range of customers.
2. Music and Home Decor Retail - Retailers that specialize in home decor and music accessories can take advantage of the growing trend of musical doorbells to provide customers with unique and practical options.
3. Musical Instrument Manufacturing - Manufacturers of musical instruments can explore creating unconventionally designed instruments, such as a guitar doorbell, that serve both musical and practical purposes.
