Terrible!
I hooked this item up and tried all 4 transmitters and all 8 mics. The only way I could get any sound was to yell into the mics or blow really hard into them with the gain turned all the way up which then also produced a loud buzz.I returned the item and a replacement was sent to but, that too produced the same results. Very dissapointed in this item. I just returned the second one for a full refund. | 01 star

Great quality, withstands a lot of abuse.
A must-have if you own a Meinl 12 inch drum. Very durable and easy to use. I use this in a Youth group setting, so you can image the amount of abuse this thing takes. It protects the drum from occasional tumbles and even protects in the case of heavy objects being placed on the drum. Pay the few extra bucks and get this, trust me. It will protect your precious gear. | 45 stars

Excellent Sound
I purchased this product to install into a Taylor GS Mini.It produces a very clean and clear sound, very true to the instrument.Installation was a piece of cake. Read The Instructions First! The installation process took about a half hour after making a wooden washer for the endpin jack on the GS Mini. | 45 stars

I could never go back to standard cables
I've been a musician for over a decade, i have seen the far corners of the world looking for great practical cables, turns out this wonderful option is not only the most simple to put together but it's also the greatest for sound, no dirt or hiss.Loved them!! | 45 stars

Better than what I had
Not too bad. I was expecting it to be a little softer, but it is way better than the original rosin that I got with my violin. I don't have a lot of experience with rosins, but this does exactly what it advertises and works just fine. | 34 stars

Great Mic For The Money
I needed a lapel mic and I read the reviews on Amazon, I am very impressed with the ATR-35.The sound is very clean and in hi-fi, I especially liked the long cord. Some people complain about the cord length but all you have to do is use a cable tie for the extra. The volume was very low on my PC but sounds fine on my camcorder, you can always normalize the volume with an audio editor. I also like that it came with all of the accessories including a windscreen.I bought this refurbished but it was in excellent condition. | 45 stars

Works Perfectly
Worked perfectly and as expected. Just connected my MIDI keyboard to the MidiSport MIDI Interface with a MIDI cable I had, connected the MIDI Interface to a USB port on my computer, installed the drivers, and the computer recognized that there was a MIDI interface attached. Starting my music authoring software now showed USB MIDI as valid inputs and outputs for the software, and pressing keys registered as notes in the software. I anticipated some initial complications getting everything to work together, but there weren't any. It all worked together right off the bat. | 45 stars

Disappointing and Misleading
The ad for this music stand is misleading because it doesn't say it is only a sheet music stand, which is clearly stated on the box when received. The adjustable tilt "bookplate" will not support even the smallest of books, so it is useable only for a few sheets of music without the tilt mechanism collapsing. I have even inserted two rubber washers on the hinge for the bookplate as some buyers suggested and it was no help at all. This music stand should be clearly labeled for light sheet music only. | 01 star

Pan Flute
Flute was constructed from plastic, not bamboo or natural wood as expected. Sound reflected plastic design instead of wood, so didnt meet my expectation. Vendor accepted return and full refund. | 12 stars

Nice Product/Great Price
This music stand meets my needs precisely, great price and perfect for occasional use. I looked at several others, much more expensive. It is easy to assemble and take down and comes with a convenient pouch to carry and store it. I was very pleased. | 45 stars

Omni Cord adapter
This adapter fits my Omnichord (of years ago) please let people know if they have an older Omnichord that the case and adapter for the Qchord will fit it. Thank you | 45 stars

a beautiful work of art
It's difficult to buy a guitar under any conditions. It's harder on line. But this guitar is really a piece of art. More than wood and steel and electronics. I have connected to this Alvarez instrument. It's a member of the family. It only took a week. | 45 stars

Gets the job done.
Planet waves usually makes decent picks and the extra heavy gauge pick works just as advertised. I don't believe it's stated anywhere in the description or on the item page but it is a 1.5mm thickness and doesn't really have any flexibility. However, it does seem to pluck notes a bit louder than most of the picks I've used (i.e. nylon, faux tortoise shell, celluloid). So if you do allot of hammering on to different strings you may want to build up a little bit more finger strength. Other that that it's a pretty good pick. | 34 stars

Great Choice
A great looking/working cable for a great price, doesn't tangle up easily, not stiff at all. I give it 5, Top Choice | 45 stars

In good standing.
I bought this product becausee it is essential for me to have a music stand but I also have limited floor space at home, so this was an obviouse choice and it more than satisfies my expectations and needs. | 34 stars

Alaska Picks
I've been searching for the right finger pick and this is it. I prefer another brand for the thumb but for the index, middle and ring fingers these are hard to beat. They can be adjusted, and I had no problem with breaking or sliding off. Be sure to try the different sizes offered before settling on one particular size. | 45 stars

Classic Hohner Marine Band
The Marine Band is the quintessential harmonica. It is the classic choice among blues and rock musicians. The great thing about this harmonica is that it is also perfect for beginners. It is easy to play and has a beautiful sound. It is extremely made and durable. This one will last a long time- plus Hohner stands behind their products!Bottom line- if you are going to buy a harmonica then this is the one. It's affordable, well made and sounds great! This IS the best harmonica for your money. | 45 stars

Outstanding Xylophone Mallet
This is an outstanding xylophone mallet, and transfers well over to glockenspiel and orchestral crotales. This is the choice mallet for playing with larger groups, especially orchestras and wind ensembles. The staccato sound of the xylophone is enunciated when struck with these mallets, and simultaneously produces a resonant tone. On certain xylophones, especially ones made of rosewood, these might damage the instrument. I would also highly recommend NOT playing these on a xylorimba, marimba, vibraphone, or set of tubular bells. However, specifically for the xylophone, they are a perfectly designed mallet. On xylophones made of kelon, the mallets produce an especially sonorous sound while maintaining the staccato nature of the instrument. | 45 stars

Great for SMALL scale production use
This system is NOT compatible with other systems since you are unable to select your own channel/frequency. If using just the four transmitters provided you are in for a nice set up. Transmitter packs have ON/MUTE/OFF switch that can be tricky to tell which setting you are on in darker wings of a stage (our show teams have a hard time knowing for sure if they are set on "mute" or "on" as the indicator light is green either way). SOUND is good but not superior. This product is PERFECT for small scale productions and amateur use and shows. Set up is easy and fast and batteries are provided to save the up front hassle. Overall, fantastic for the price. | 23 stars

Free Hands!
It was always annoying to have to carry a horn in one hand and music in the other. Not much else you could do with both hands full... Now I have a free hand to open doors, shake hands, etc... | 45 stars

Good set of strings
I never used ernie ball ever, bought them because of my fellow guitar players, they sound pretty good actually, give my guitar a better feel and sound. | 45 stars

Does exactly what it says.
This is a good case, well made, holds 7 diatonic harmonicas very nicely. It does what it says. | 45 stars

Good enough for rock 'n' roll
Rotosounds (stainless steel) are hard not only on your fingertips but on your nickel frets as well. In my opinion, with Ernie Ball nickel bass strings you get the response you need with less damage to either. The string life may be lesser, but when do you want to spend $400 to have your instrument refretted due to steel damage? If Ernie Ball is good enough for Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson), don't you think it's good enough for you? | 45 stars

Not qualified but works well
I am not a professional player nor have I been playing very long but this was highly recommended by my instructor and by several of my fellow students.So far this has worked very well. I live in a climate that is very cold and very dry in the winter so I usually need to re-hydrate the sponge every other day. I haven't used it during the summer yet and since summers where I live are so humid I may not need to re-hytrate it as often.I definitely think that this is a easy and fool-proof way to keep your guitar in prime condition. There is no confusion as to where to put it or how it works and as long as you keep the sponge damp, not wet, there is no way that the guitar can be damaged. My teacher did advise that I only use distilled water so that the sponge will last longer and you won't have to by as many refills. | 45 stars

Good product idea, could causes problems for some people.
I used this on a 5string bass. I liked how this helps me slide around the fretboard easier. My friend tried it on her acoustic guitar and hated it.Her reason for her opinion is simple. This stuff puts out a LOT more oil (or whatever it is) than you would think. This has the unintended consequence of the oil making your hard-earned callouses soft...which when playing guitar can lead to bleeding fingers pretty fast (and did for my friend).To apply this you simply hold the handle and press down while running it along each string, one string at a time. I highly suggest you only use one slide down each string. At first it may not look like anything is getting on your strings, but give it a few minutes and you will start to see the excess oil appear and start pooling under the strings on your fretboard. That's ok. You will need to wipe away the excess, and I'm telling you, if you accidentally get too much, that excess oil may not come off easily (didn't for me at least). Mine left little pools of oil between the frets, and I only used one swipe and thought I had just a little on there. Naturally, this product also makes your fingers very oily feeling. My friend hated that part too, and I agree with her. Soft callouses = no callouses. This is a good product idea, and I like it in theory, and with my thick bass strings I didn't have the severe problem w soft fingertips that she did. Just be aware of the possibility of that being a problem for you.It does what it says, but you may not like what else it does or how it feels on your fingers. | 23 stars

cheap
I've been around guitars my whole life because my dad has always played them, but never taught me. So I know a bit about guitars. I was dissapointed in the material, because it looks very much like balsa wood. But the sound is decent enough for a beginner guitar. | 23 stars

Best digital drum system I have ever used
Years ago when I did professional drumming. I had a KAT-DK-10 with a Roland TD-7 drum brain. Together they cost me $700 used! Now granted that was when they were first coming out with electric drums. But recently I bought the DD-55 and have to tell you they put my first drum machine to utter shame. The drum sounds are very realistic. And the resonance on the cymbals was also very lifelike. Every signal on a pad was crystal clear. Check out what they sound like on u-tube. They really sound that good! Now here is something I really liked. About a hundred instrumental songs are programmed into the system so you can play along with whatever tune you choose. But here is what really impressed me. The system automatically finds the drum set that the drummer is using on that particular song so when you play along every note fits perfectly. In addition you can remove or add drum, cymbal, hi-hat tracks and instrumental tracks as you choose and then play along. And if the song is too fast of a tempo you can slow the tempo down to as slow as you want. But do not think you can download your own songs into the system. You will simply have to drag out your stereo and speakers and plug them in as an external source like I use to have to do in the old days. I also would recommend picking up a pair of JVC HA-RX700 headphones. Amazon has a great price on them. And these headphones are amazing. The floor button pads for the hi-hat and bass are OK. But if you are a serious drummer you will probably eventually want to replace them. You are pretty limited to what you can use. The only electrical percussion pad that works with this is the Yamaha KP-65 (also remember you will also need to purchase a drum pedal. But pretty much any drum pedal will work) and for a true hi-hat feel you will need to purchase the Yamaha HH80DTX. If you can purchase the DD55 new for $200 or buy this for $100 I would. What do I mean...I did! | 45 stars

Nice portable bench
I bought this because of the price and because it looked very portable. It can't take the place of a regular bench in my opinion, but it works fine and folds down to make it easy to transport. | 34 stars

Even lighting, long life, very portable; booklight too!
I got this music light more as a booklight, due to inadequacies of my other booklights. Wow, was I surprised at just how well it works! The lens they've added to the plain-old LED is truly amazing in just how evenly it spreads the light. Reading a full-sized book is easy because the light doesn't dim at the edges, and the long arm allows you to pull the head out far enough to cover all the page. The LED is a newer 3x brighter version, which helps, though it might not be quite enough to cover two full-size sheets of music at a dark gig if your eyes aren't so young anymore; there is a two-headed version that would be ideal for that purpose. Since it's an LED, the batteries last a very long time, and it uses 3 regular AAAs, which are easy to find. You could use rechargeables if desired, though the extreme battery life would allow them to self-discharge before you used the full charge. | 45 stars

Lovely keyboard with all the bells and whistles
My wife has been playing piano for a little over a year now and was looking for a keyboard she could use to practice that would give her the feel of our real piano but that she could plug her headphones into and play without disturbing anyone, and this Yamaha was the prefect choice. It comes with everything so there's no need to buy stands or stools, easy easy to put together and sounds great. She tells me the keys feel great too, plus she loves being able to put it in harpsichord mode while playing some of her Baroque period pieces. Its sturdy, but doesn't way so much that its difficult to move (just awkward due to its size). and while it does rock a bit on its stand if you put it on carpet, it never feels like its about to fall over. we've been very happy with it. | 45 stars

Broken 3rd string
I put these strings on and played the quitar for a total of maybe 30 minutes over a weeks time, and after dropping the G string to an F# then back to G standard tuning, the string broke. I usually end up replacing my strings when the 1st string breaks, because i do often drop it down to D with an open D tuning, but that's after many many times and I kind of expect it. Not the 3rd string! This is the second set of Elixir strings that I've tried, and ordered two new sets because I'd had good luck with the first, liked the way they sounded and would say that they lasted at least three times longer than most. Disapointed in this case though. | 12 stars

Disco Fever!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this disco light! The kit came well packaged and arrived just in time for our New Years party. Set up was simple. Attach the mirror ball to the base (which turns the ball) and insert the D battery (which is provided!). I already had a small ceiling hook hanging over the bar in my kitchen, so I hung the ball from the hanger that's included on the base (it's very light).The next step is the spotlight that is shined on the ball to create the mirror effect. It plugs into an outlet and includes 4 different colored filters (blue, red, green and yellow). It's made of metal and is surprisingly sturdy. The kit comes with hardware to permanently install the spotlight, but I simply set it on the bar and pointed it toward the ball. Even with all of the festivities and activity in the area, the spotlight never fell over.Plug in the spotlight and turn on the mirror ball and the let the party begin! We have an open floorplan with the kitchen/living room area all together. The ball was powerful enough to light the entire room. It was a great addition to a fantastic New Years party! The D battery had to be replaced at some point in the night, but the ball also ran for around 8 hours straight..Because the whole kit came so well packaged, back in the box it goes until the next party! | 45 stars

Good extra set of harmonics
I am very pleased with my harmonicas. I bought them so I would have a back up if something happened to one of my regular harps and to fill in the keys that I do not own. Every now and then someone plays in a key I don't have and these will allow me to play during those times. The sound is pretty good but not great. | 34 stars

Meh....I don't get it
I don't see the point in a digital drum set. My parents bought this for me for christmas when I asked for a drum set...but I played with it some and it didn't help me learn much. These things just don't have the feel of a drum set. And as for this particular model, it's quite low-end. My advice is to save a bit more money and buy a snare drum. | 23 stars

Protect Your Guitar Investment!!!
I bought 2 of these little jewels after having a very bad experience with my Ovation 6-string acoustic guitar. I was living in Victorville, CA (high desert) for 19 years and I never considered the very dry humidity effect on my guitars. One evening I heard a loud bang and a sound like 6 guitar strings breaking at once. What had happened is that the wooden bridge on my Ovation had dried out over the years and finally the wood just disintegrated and broke apparently because it had dried out so badly. It cost me a lot to get it repaired and took over six months for the luthier to find the correct matching parts and to remove the remains of the old bridge without damaging the guitar finish. He did an amazing job but I don't want to ever go through that again. I now keep the Herco Guardfather in with my 6-string and 12-string Ovation guitars and I believe that they do make a difference. A few years will tell for certain. I figure that the Herco Guardfather is an inexpensive insurance policy for my guitars and is definitely worth the investment. Just soak them in water for about 5 minutes every couple of weeks then pour off the excess, wipe off the case, snap it shut and put it in with your guitar. Could not be simpler. Sweetwater Sound has these for $3.99 with free shipping. That's where I got mine via the Amazon website. | 45 stars

Brand New and Crackling
Hmm - very disappointed with these speakers - I installed the speakers as per the manual and switched and heard the crackling when music was being played - at I first thought it was my audio Card or some kind of electrical interferenceAfter removing all the possible causes I came to the conclusion - it was the speakers themselves.I did a Google and bob's your aunty plenty of reports complaints about cracklingWill be contacting Amazon for a refund | 01 star

Not Professional HEAVY METAL pedal but a professional pedal in quality, overall
I would like to counter "D.C. gibsonplayer" 's review by saying that this is perfect for a beginner and even a professional. It's no Zakk Wylde or Professional Heavy Metal pedal, but It's still good. It's better at least than the cheap distortion pedals you can find for $15 at Target.It's got excellent effects and I find myself creating guitar effects (that replicate Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine's playing) more than playing actual songs. You just have to mess around with it and keep using different combinations with the 4 control knobs to create great effects.Also, one should be aware that feedback obtained by this pedal can be very loud and can hurt your ears if you put the "Level/Loud knob" on full blast while your guitar and guitar amp volume are high.BUY THIS!!! | 45 stars

Avoid This Mic
I have used a lot of pro mics over many years and I can tell you right now this is No Where Near a Pro mic! I bought this thinking that I could base my decision based on the original price I saw listed. However I made a mistake. This mic has a very brittle tone with no body what so ever. Probably one of the worst mics I have ever heard. No bottom end at all. I can't even eq it properly to make it sound usable. I suggest you save your money and buy a 414 or anything costing 900.00 or above. Believe me when I say you will waste your money if you buy this...I will be returning mine...or maybe just recycle the metal and save the earth! | 01 star

Wonderful price, Beautiful Guitar...
My son had asked for this exact guitar from one of our local guitar stores...The price was way more than I could spend for one Christmas gift. I started searching online and came across this one...almost half the price and its the exact same guitar. My son was blown away Christmas morning. We have listened to him play his old electric guitar for so long that when I heard the sounds from this guitar I thought it was on the radio. Very clean sound. My son hasn't had one complaint yet. The finish is gorgeous, the case is a large black rectangular semi-hard case...canvas outside, but sturdy shape with a soft suede-like liner inside. I will definitely order from them again. | 45 stars

handy
This bag has been very handy to put all my percussion "toys" and other necessities -- such as the ever so popular...duck tape. It's so expandable that I've been able to put in a lot of stuff and because there is also a shoulder strap, this is helpful when you are carrying in several other pieces of equipment at the same time. | 45 stars

The Day Is Finally Here!
The long awaited and anticipated release of the 'V' series has finally come to fruition. Years ago, I purchased the VHS copies of the original miniseries and final battle. Almost 20 years after the original was released, it is still a high quality sci-fi show with top-notch special effects (save for one scene where Diana eats the Guinea Pig, in which I almost lost my lunch because it was so ridiculously fake!). I am getting the Series on DVD sent out to me today (thanks, Amazon!) and I can't wait to re-live the exciting moments of the show that captivated me years and years ago... | 45 stars

It's OK
I'm a little surprised at the reviews saying this amp is plenty loud. It doesn't seem very loud to me. For a practice amp, it's OK. The various amp models are handy, I suppose, but not as useful as say, a number of guitar amp models are on a guitar amp. One of them is a hidden model, rather than something on the knob; you have to know which buttons to push to replace one amp model with the hidden one. The manual explains that. The synth seemed more like a fun toy than something I could get consistently good effects out of. Volume varies a lot between the amp models on the 110. If Amazon's current price is good for this amp, it's a very compact but decent practice amp, or (as the name suggests) studio amp or performance amp as long as you're running it into a larger system. | 34 stars

Fun- just don't expect great quality sound
This is a great fun product that can really add to an evening or party. If you are looking to hear the same music and arrangements used in the originals songs, unfortunately you will be still singing to a much poorer midi version. (Everything sounds kind of soft and synthy. But if you are not particular and just want to sing and have a good time. This is a great affordable portable way to Karaoke your heart away. | 34 stars

Very good Item... just what I expected.
The size of the guitar is very good for traveling, I use to travel often because of my work, it is perfect for practicing, the only bad thing I see is that when you plug this guitar to a good amplifier (a big one), you notice that the quality of the sound is poor comparing it against a normal size guitar.But for practicing matters is the best, and you can carry it with you to everywhere, I think it is one of the best purchase I have ever done. | 45 stars

great violin
The violin the headphones and the rosin are great. And the only thing stoping me from giving 5 stars is the bow isnt that great. Frog is to narrow and needs a shoulder rest. I got the setup and the box was broke and so were the strings. The seller is making it rite by sending me new strings. Great seller and great product for the money. | 34 stars

cute piano but horrific odor
This little toy piano is adorable. Unfortunately, when I opened the box I was shocked by an awful odor---it smelled like a powerful insecticide. I removed all the parts from the box and put them out on my screened porch for a few hours. This did not help.I would NEVER give this piano to my grandchild. | 01 star

great when you figure it out!
if your not good w electronics, this br900 is going to take you some time, it took me way to long. once you get the basics down, do not hesitate to call thier 1800 help line, the guys are kinda pricks, but they tell you what you need to know.ups to the br900, as many inputs as they could fit, 1/4, xlr, midi out, usb, rca line out and line in(line in is crucial when using effects processors such as kaoss, or even external mixers(djs).the built in effects sound good, they have three banks, guitar, mic, and line, ive used them all,and the price has went way down, i paid 699 bout two years ago.some do not like that it records to compact flash, but they are so cheap now that should not be a problem.the headache for me was not recording, it was mastering and burning the disc,but w sum help from the guys at boss, they talked me through it, and i burn a disc everytime i use it, if you got music in you that you want to record, this is an affordable, quick way to do it, | 45 stars

Great bag
I bought this bag for my teenage son a year ago and it's withstood his treatment quite well. Nothing is broken at all. It's been dropped, manhandled, and has survived rain. It is still as durable as it was a year ago. This bag is the envy of his trumpet friends. The only negative feedback is that it's not big enough to hold his sheet music folder, but that is true of most cases. Otherwise, I highly recommend it. The bag has plenty of room for the following: trumpet, mouthpieces, mute, grease, oil, and cleaning kit. | 45 stars

Sturdy, cheap, wrong picture.
Does the job nicely with my Shure SM-57. Well-made. Unit shipped to me has standard 5/8" thread, fits standard microphone clip. 3/8" adapter shown in the picture was not in the box. Perfect height for my desktop. | 45 stars

Built for stout
This case is everything you would expect from a hardshell case and more. The interior offers excellent protection to the guitar's finish with it's plush linning, while the outside is constructed very well. This case has locking latches that will not fall open. This is truly a rugged case I am very happy with this purchase..... | 45 stars

So Thin They Warp
I'm a beginner and read these thin picks were the ones I should start with so ordered these and put away the ones that came with the guitar. They are so thin, however, that they warp so it is like trying to learn to play with a Frito Scoop. | 23 stars

I have tried them all...
I have owned Gemini, Technics, Numark CDXs, and now I have the TT500s and they are everything a real DJ needs and nothing else. I really can't think of a single complaint! | 34 stars

Fender Tripod Speaker Stands
These are the best bang for the buck in a tripod speaker stand. I use them with a Fender Passport 150....they are durable, light weight and very stable. | 45 stars

Bang for the Buck ...
Its LOUD..>!!! I can only live with the master volume up to 3, maybe 4. The features on this amp are definitely up to at least a semi pro standard. This amp offers you 12 different amp models from the word go. You can the further manipulate these with the Drive control nob (less or more gain) as well as adding up to three simultaneous effects, the tap button also lets you specify delay time as well as activating the built in tuner (very handy for when something starts to sound odd onstage)and noise gate. The cab also comes fitted with celestion speakers. The patches are also great fun to toy with as you can manipulate them once loaded and most of them don't sound half band. I was a bit miffed at the fact that a foot controller was not included but apart from that I can't really say it has any major flaws yet. I just ordered the FBV Express foot pedal. Also the CD/mp3 jack is really handy if you want to play along to your favorite shreddersI've used it with a PRS Standard, a Strat and an Epi Les Paul and all sound great. I especially like the clean tones. This amp really sounds better at higher volumes. I even plugged my bass into it just to hear it and it sounds great. I've only had it since Christmas so I haven't done a lot with it yet, so I gave it four stars, but it gets me playing again, and thats a good thing. | 34 stars

Great Drum!
My son received this as a Christmas present and he is still playing with it everyday! It makes a great sound, is sturdy enough to survive a 2-year-old, and is a great way to supplement/reinforce the music class we go to once a week. Highly recommend! | 45 stars

They are alright...
They work, however in my experience carry a lot of low end. They took a bit of adjusting highs and lows where as my other mics don't. The have good range from the reciever. | 23 stars

AudioSource AMP-100 2-Channel Bridgeable Stereo Power Amplifier
Works well and does what I wanted. At very low volumes it does produce a "click" as if a power source or relay is clicking in and out. At more than 25% volume this does not occur. Currently, I am looking into this but it is really not a big problem. | 34 stars

Works on RG7321.
I needed a capo that'd work on my Ibanez RG7321 7-string guitar. This works comfortably at the 7th fret, and seems like it works at the 12th (I put it on there, to see, and it held down the B string, but I didn't have anything to play.) I've yet to see any capos advertised specifically for 7 stringers, but this one was recommended on a guitar forum, and works. I didn't notice any more fret buzzing, etc. I haven't had it long enough to speak to its quality, but I've another trigger capo like this on my other Ibanez (6 string) and it's held up almost a decade now. | 45 stars

Not the best for music classes...
I teach elementary music and have been using a cheap slide whistle to encourage my students to match pitch and explore vocal levels. I thought it would be a great idea to invest in a 'better' instrument, but have been very disappointed in this particular whistle. As another reviewer mentioned, the high pitches are totally lost, and the lower ones get airy. The whistle only works for about 75% of its range. I am not sure why a cheap plastic one would work so much better, but it does. This one definitely looks better, and is more impressive, but if it is pitch or exploration you are working with, this particular instrument or brand isn't your best choice. | 12 stars

A piece of junk
This product hangs on your neck. The guitar is not balanced. It is unstable. This is a literal piece of junk. | 01 star

CLASSIC CLEAN AND CRISTAL MIC !
This is a STANDARD of NICE MICS not too expensive for the quality !! CRISTAL and USEFUL ! Strong German Manufacture ! a lot of little extras in the BOX ! | 45 stars

terrible product
After several month of minimum use, the XLR connector starts to produce all kinds of connection problem. Don't buy this brand, they must have been using the cheapest material in the connector. | 01 star

Good quality mic
I use this mic primarily for recording classes I teach. My students and I sit around a conference table and I set the SnowBall in the middle; it does a very good job picking up all of the voices. I have several students (teens) who mumble or are very soft spoken and the mic pics them up just fine.I have also used this to record a lecture. I placed it below the podium, out of view of the speaker and the audience, and it captured the speaker's voice very well.I attach the mic to my MacBook and use GarageBand software for the recordings. I can record about 1.5 hours without needing to have the computer plugged in. The whole interface is very easy to use.My wife thinks it looks big and ugly; others have found it cool looking. It is on the larger side, but because it works so well I don't really care about the looks. It fits in my messenger bag with the stand, shielded USB cable, and laptop, so the size isn't an issue for me. | 34 stars

Not bad for the money.
The only complaint/suggestion I would make is to keep the overall design intact, but add one additional pair of stereo outputs to this item (for a total of 2 stereo pair of RCA outputs). Sound quality and overall easy of use are fairly decent. | 34 stars

Don't hesitate!
I, too, was worried about the low price. But this guitar is beautiful and plays great. Smooth, honey finish and bright tone. Very satisfied. | 45 stars

Terrific Cymbal Bag
Despite other reviews I read (and ignored) I find this to be a perfectly substantial bag for carrying my rather large array of cymbals. It's well-made, reinforced in the proper places and offers the option of carrying either by handle or shoulder straps. For me it was money well spent. The individual dividing semi-sleeves are great for arranging cymbals according to type and purpose. Perhaps some of those with less success were trying to carry wolverines or badgers in theirs' but it provides great service in transporting my cymbal set. Good luck, Batz | 45 stars

Works great!
the one reason i picked this one out over the others is because it is long, and it stretches all of the way to the bottom of the slide. It seems to work really good. | 45 stars

great strings
my sons play the viola and they both swear by these strings, you can get strings for less money but they won't sound as good as these do | 45 stars

work fine
I tried a lot of picks, I even shaped some...These work fine for the price, I can get THE growl on my P bass | 45 stars

Great software for putting old records and tapes on your computer!
This software works great, was easy to install and makes recording my old albums and tapes onto my computer a breeze. This is exactly what I was looking for and would recommend it to anyone interested. | 45 stars

Great case!
My son is very happy with this case. It is stylish,and the sax fits in perfectly. The case appears to be very sturdy and I expect it to last for a long time. Definitely worth the money. | 45 stars

Great Product!
What can I say...it does what it suppose to do. I have never had any issues with Hosa products. But don't sleep on Monoprice cables either. | 45 stars

Works with Yamaha keyboard
I bought this device to connect my Yamaha PSR-280 synthesizer to a Windows XP computer via USB. I had to download the drivers from Emu.com, but after that, Cakewalk Home Studio was able to communicate with the keyboard via MIDI. I was previously using an old Soundblaster sound card, but that card didn't work with the newer computer I put it in. Switching to a USB device was a very easy, affordable alternative to an expensive sound card or external Midi interface box. As another reviewer said, the Out plug sometimes plugs into the In port on the keyboard; just try both options and one should work. | 34 stars
