Amazon Coupon: 20% off Musical Instruments and Accessories

This coupon promotion is back at Amazon just in time for the Fall 2015. Coupon code 20FALLSAV gets you 20% off the current prices of 3800+ items from the Musical Instruments and Accessories categories. You can use the filters on the left-hand-side of the page to dig deeper. The ultimate test of this promotion is to add the items of interest to your shopping cart, enter the coupon and check the discount at the top right part of the Checkout page.

The promotion expires at the end of day on November 13 in 2015. Offer is only good for items sold by Amazon actual (not by marketplace sellers). The bottom of the page over there has all the terms and conditions of this promotion.

Of headphone interest, I only found a small number of options, but I did not go through every single sub-category over there, so this has a big YMMV.
