Great piece of equipment for music room
I have two children that play cello and purchased two stands. These work great for them. I like the smaller size since space is limited. Holds the cello upright safely and is very sturdy. Would definitely recommend. | 45 stars

awesome deal
Overall satisfied with my purchase. The product was as described and arrived in a timely fashion. I would reccomend these guys | 45 stars

Powerful program but aggravating
This is a powerful piece of notation software. It can transcribe MIDIs, has all kinds of articulations, its notations extends to ALL instruments (not just guitar), can sheet music in from a scanner and read it and convert it, and it can convert regular sheet music into tab (very useful if you got shafted by a songbook that claimed to have guitar notation but only had the chords in a fretboard diagram not the notes), and you can also make your own midis and switch between keys effortlessly. The negatives are that it is not easy to use. Some things seem out of place for example when placing chords you have to click on another menu apart from the Chords menu to get the program to display the fretboard diagram of the chord, replacing notes in either tab or standard music notation is very tedious and sometimes aggravating, placing articulations can be tedious as well, the program will lag your system, and last but definitely not least it has the terrible and annoying habit of changing the tab numbers you copy between measures if your using a certain template with standard notation above it. If you think you can handle all of that then this program might be for you. | 23 stars

Excellent quality.
I got these speakers hoping they would be a good fit with my laptop. They've turned out great so far. I've used them for about a month now and there have been no problems. While they are a little bit hefty in size, I do like the fact that you can put stuff on top of them. Adds a new element of desk decoration :PThe speakers are connected via speaker wire (incl.), the left speaker being the one with all of the controls, and the system is connected to your cpu via 1/8". Easy enough. No drivers or any of that nonsense. They sound fantastic, filling up the whole room with full bass and crisp tweets. For the money, I can't think of a better product. 5 stars. | 45 stars

well made
It is called "shove it", for a reason, because this is how you use it, but seriously, product is good quality and does the job. What is the job? Keeping your sax pads from rotting and whole instrument maintained fresh and sounding good. High amount of moisture is good for mushrooms, but not necessarily recommended for leather based sax pads. IF it did not work there is possibility that the actual problem is coming from the area - as one major mouthpiece manufacturer said - above the reed. If you are smiling now, then you know, if you are puzzled, stick with the guitar. Live is good, and so is this product. | 45 stars

Perfect Solution to my AV needs
This product was the perfect solution my noisy power in my house and it gives me enough time on battery to record my favorite shows. Great product. I would recommend it to anyone looking for the ultimate in surge/filtering for AV components. | 45 stars

it's big!
I bought my yamaha 300 tenor about five years ago. In terms of tone and tuning, I've been very happy with it. You do have to work a little harder to get it in tune for the higher octave, but this has been the case with all of the tenors I've played. The lack of absorbtion can be an issue though. It gets clogged up very easily.Also, do you have small hands? - it is a big instrument. If your hands are small like mine are, you will probably find yourself avoiding middle Cs, C#s, and Fs (or suffering the consequences, as I am currently... ouch). I can only play it for short amounts of time. Some others who have played it haven't any problems in that respect though. But I wouldn't reccomend it for young kids. | 34 stars

Great Overdrive Pedal!
This will push the effects of any effects that you have. Increases sustain. Love this pedal. I won't play without it! Be aware that it does need a noise suppressor! | 45 stars

Great toy
My daughter wanted castanets for Christmas and we ordered online - there was no choice in color (I would have preferred pink for her). She got blue ones, she still loves them and plays with them often. | 45 stars

These looks sharp
I ordered this pickgaurd for my Squire Strat. It fit perfictly. It looks great on my royal blue guitar and I would recomend it to anyone. It is well made and high quality. | 45 stars
|
Awesome!
Santa got these drums for our almost 3 year old and they are amazing! The color is very sleek and the drums are professional quality! Definitely worth the extra money over the basic children's drums. One screw was missing so I am contacting the company today and hopefully they will be helpful and send a new one quickly. The missing screw didn't affect the drum setup/performance though. | 45 stars

not what i ordered
this item arrived, and was not what i ordered. was a MUCH cheaper/lower line/version of a Pro-2 microphone. after contacting seller, and amazon.com, i was refunded my purchase amount. seller gave a "song & dance" about selling itmes on a thread that was an "existing thread" because there was no thread for this exact particular item. here's an idea, create a thread for this exact item, and don't list it as something else. in fact, this item was so cheap that the seller never asked for the item back. shows how absolutely CHEAP the item that was sent to me is.FAIL!. (didn't even want to give this one star, but there is no ranking less than one) | 01 star

It works
It works! It's my third clarinet, and finally one that works and lasts. The other two broke within a few months. So far no problems with this clarinet, had it since Oct 2009. Shipped quickly. | 45 stars

Perfect.
Ordered these for our daughter who is learning to play the guitar. I also bought the pick holder; they fit perfectly. | 45 stars

Great speakers
these are great for music lovers! PLEASE NOTE!!!! THESE ARE NOT REFERENCE MONITORS! These are basically glorified computer speakers. if you are using them for studio recording i highly suggest getting the BX5 for beginners.however, i have used these for music and movies. the RCA inputs make it very connective for whatever you want to use them for! These get super loud with out distortion! definitely worth the buy for the money to be used for anything other than reference monitors! | 34 stars
|
Perfect for dictation
I use this noise canceling, directional microphone with anOlympus DS-2400 Dictation recorder (142015)for recording dictation or voice notes for my later review. It includes a removable clip, and is designed for use while clipped to your lapel or collar. This microphone works best when the recorder is in Dictation (vice conference) mode. | 45 stars

Terrible sound!
I bought this turtle for use in the classroom. It is quiet and makes such a poor sound that my kindergartners don't even want to use it. Bummer. It's very cute, but now it's just a desk ornament. | 01 star

Foam peeled off after one month
I had high expectations for this shoulder rest based on the reviews it received and at first I was very pleased. It was mechanically sturdy and very comfortable. However after only one month, both pieces of foam had completely peeled off the metal frame. I play and practice frequently and I did not expect the foam to last forever, but one month is completely unacceptable. | 12 stars
|
There it is
This is the same power supply that came with my POD XT. Works great. My other one lasted three or four years. I would expect this one to as well. | 45 stars
|
good mic
this mic is awesome sounds amazing better than a $500 dollar mic sounds clear and crisp and pics up all ranges of sound | 45 stars
|
Rhythm Pick
I am not crazy about this item. Great concept, but it doesn't sound that great to me and the pick itself is very soft.The shaker stays in your hand of course, which mutes the sound quite a bit as you strum. Clever idea, butdoesn't do the trick. Sorry to have to say so. | 12 stars

Upgrade for Child's Xylophone
I picked these up to go along with my son's Hohner Xylophone, which is a nice instrument but came only with one plastic mallet. These are sturdy enough that I am comfortable letting my 7-month-old son bang on his xylophone with them under supervision. I did run some 600-grit sandpaper over the handles to rub out some roughness. | 45 stars
|
His music inspired me, and when this came out it was a no brainer
This bass far exceeded my expectations. Plugged in or just plain acoustically, it sings. Ran through my Beringer system, it flat shakes the pictures in my practice room. Mr. Woody left us way too soon, and his love for vintage instruments served him well.Allen, your spirit lives on and I thank God for the music you gave to us, and I thank God that you took the time while short on this earth, to get with the fine folks at Epiphone and have this bass built.Jam on my friend, as you were one of the true greats. | 45 stars

feature missing
Good for the price, which is cheap. The description promises switchable frequencies. That is not so. You take your chances with what you get. | 12 stars

Great for Acoustic Guitar
I recorded acoustic guitar with metal strings with this mic, and did not hear a difference with same guitar recorded using a Neuman mic.Definitely a great buy. Very versatile. | 45 stars
|
Fantastic
We go through drumsticks like water, and I thought to try these out... My son was pleased with the quality and weight... | 45 stars
|
Good for vocals
Like the title suggest it is wonderful with vocals and any kind of singing, it has a one note frequency that can pick up a solo really good, but do not attempt this mic for any kind of chord progression at all it will phase out quicker than a crack head. | 34 stars
|
good value even with paying for shipping
This is a good value basic lightweight music stand and even with shipping costs less expensive than anything similiar. And as with all West products good quality. This is for our ten year old son to have a place to keep his music books at home for practice time (beginning trombone). Can't speak for other types of users. | 45 stars
|
Great Strings
I haven't played the Cello long, but when I took the original strings that came on my cello off and replaced them with this set, I was shocked. The scratchy sound of my practices turned into clear transitions. The A & D are extremely mellow and the G & C are lively and clear. I never realized how much difference a fine set of strings could make. My original set was synthetic, but I think I like the steel a whole lot more. | 45 stars

Amazing sound - beats speakers costing hundreds more
I'm a mid-level audiophile, and I tested as many powered 2.0 speakers that I could find to replace my brokenKlipsch ProMedia 2.1 THX Certified Computer Speaker System (Black)(by the way, excellent sound on the Klipsch but the quality isn't so great). I loved the full sound that the Klipsch provided, but didn't want to have a subwoofer to put under my desk anymore.I demoed a bunch of competing products, here's a capsule review:Audioengine A5 Powered Multimedia Speaker System (Black): Sounded good, but cost $200 more than the AV 40. Weak bass, excellent vocals. Big box.Audioengine 2 - PC multimedia speakers - 30 Watt (total) - 2-way - satin black: Weak, muddled sound. I was very disappointed given the positive reviews on the web. Look very nice though.Yamaha HS50M (Active) Pair 2-Way Monitors: Very flat sound, but not as warm as the AV 40. Targeted for the musician with TRS inputs.Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 Active Multimedia Speakers: Expensive, very muddled bass. Look nice, but the drivers and enclosures are too small to make good sound.I won't comment on the Creative and Logitech PC speakers out there as I didn't test them and based on prior products from each company I don't think they compete with these quality speakers.Love the AV40, you should buy it. Stop wasting time. | 45 stars
|
Great Necessity
This thing is great! I got it with fast shipping and then I figured out I could actually make it stick on my guitar. It holds about 8-10 picks that are medium in size, and it holds them with ease. Definitely a necessity for any serious guitarist who loses picks constantly. | 45 stars
|
Great Reeds
These are recommended from the band director. They are much more expensive at our local music store. This is a great product and a great price on Amazon. | 45 stars
|
Huge
I didn't think that these speaker stands were so large. I'm 5'2 and packed in the bag it came in its about as tall as I am.... I'm not happy about that. But on a good note they are easy to use and seem like they'll last. | 34 stars
|
I got what I paid for.
This device doesn't work well with a 4-string bass plugged into it, as the "G" setting doesn't recognize the open G string from my bass. It doesn't recognize the harmonic, either. | 12 stars
|
My Daughter Loves this
I bought this for my Daughter's 1st birthday. It is by far her favorite gift. She loves the wave drum and xylophone the best but play with everything except the roller one. This is the first toy she goes to every morning. Very Happy with this purchase | 45 stars

great inexpensive mic for your Sony camcorder
This mic, which requires Sony's Plug In Power, solves the problem of camcorder mics which can't take the sound pressure levels, SPL, of louder sounds such as those produced by live music. The sound is very clear and crisp, although it is somewhat lacking in the lower end where instruments such as bass guitar reside. The mic will NOT work on non-Sony devices that don't supply plug in power from the microphone jack. Maybe some other manufacturers have this feature, but I doubt it. It is really amazing that at a very low price an excellent mic can be produced which basically solves the problem of inadequate and low SPL mics and that cam makers don't just put this kind of mic in the camera to begin with. Seriously, I pay $1200 for a new Sony cam and I have to spend an additional $40 to get a decent mic for it??? | 45 stars
|
Very good sounding mic
This mic replaced another major brand lavalier that I had bought several years ago but was not happy with. That other brand had very restricted frequency response. The Azden mic on the other hand sound excellent with good highs and lows. The audio quality is very natural sounding and of very high quality. The alligator clip holder is very solid and of metal construction compared with the plastic clip of my previous mic. So, if you need a wired lavalier mic at a very reasonable price you can't go wrong with this one. I highly recommend it. | 45 stars

What??
Okay. First of all, I ordered the electric guitar strings, NOT the acoustic. So why did they send me acoustic strings?! Horrible service.UPDATE:I contacted the seller about this and they sent me the correct strings free of charge, and I got to keep the acoustic set. Great service. However, I have now had the strings on for about a month, and the nanoweb coating is now flaking off, damaging the tone of the guitar. So if I were you, I would forget about this nanoweb coating, and go for the d'addario exp strings. Much better, or you could also get the stainless steel flatwound strings, which are great for playing blues. | 23 stars

Not "Strings", there is only one in the package!
The description says "Cello Strings". It is actually just one string. Don't be fooled! I would call this false advertising. | 01 star

wuhan china 14 inch a particular piece
i bought this to try a new sound, and it is, its not ugly, its not bad, a little weird,..maybe. its really loud, which its good and if you hit hard you got a very unique sound from a 10 i put it a 7, the base of the cymbal its not rounded its a little squared ...lucky!! | 23 stars

Good sound, but make sure they fit
I've had the AKG 240's and Koss Pro 4AA's. The AKG phones are lighter and have good sound, but my ears don't fit perfectly in those circular cushions, and they begin to hurt after a while. The Koss Pro 4AA's have a more elongated space for ears. (Maybe my ears have gotten bigger as I've progressed through the aging process.) My personal preference is the sound from the AKG's - they have a better low end than the Pro 4AA's. | 34 stars
|
Great buy
I changed all the stock pickups from a cheap Yamaha Eterna EG-303 and installed this one in middle position. The difference is outstanding. With stock pickups, the higher pitch strings sounded horrible when using distortion, now the guitar sounds great at every portion of the neck. If you can't afford an expensive guitar, changing stock pickups from a modest guitar is an easy way to get a nice sound - and this one provides a realy nice one.It's important to note that the output of these pickups is extremely high. I use mine very far from the strings, to avoid distortion. | 45 stars

Plastic feet
One of the plastic feet on the bottom of the case came off on the second day of use. It makes you wonder about the overall quality of the case.The feet are screwed on instead of a using a rivet.Other than that, my son likes the case. | 34 stars

Bongos that grow with your kids
My son got these for his 4th birthday. He is now 6 and continues to enjoy them. They are really sturdy and are even fun for use by adults! Worth the money and the ear plugs! | 45 stars
|
Great buy
gave it to my dad for father's day, came with all of the picks in a little plastic bag. Thanks amazon, great buy. | 45 stars
|
good construction
Bought with the drum for my son. He totes it around in his car, so the bag made sense. The straps make the awkward shaped drum easy to carry. | 45 stars
|
stout but dated design
I really appreciate its sturdiness: heavy duty rivets and thick steel as compared to flimsier materials from the lower priced music stands.It looks quite nice and lives up to its billing as heavy-duty.My knock on this nice product is that its design is rather dated. Folding and unfolding is rather unintuitive, thus making it more prone to getting messed up by the uninitiated casual user who would tend to forcibly fold or unfold it. In contrast, the newer and cheaper music stands have a muc better folding/unfolding scheme (maybe that's why they can use thinner steel?). | 34 stars
|
Just OK for me
I love Hercules products. They get three stars just for being as solid and well-constructed as you expect from them. But I didn't really like the way my guitar rested in this. The bottom rungs seem to be angled back but the post is more straight-up, and the instrument seemed awkward in the stand. I bought it for an OM guitar, and it just didn't feel right. I also tried my Ovation shallow bowl with the same result. I did not send it back, though, because it turns out that it holds my mandolin just fine. It is a f-style mando, with a tone guard on the back. The stand seems a perfect fit for that.I can't rate it higher with a clean conscience, though, since it is billed as a guitar stand but is just OK at that function. | 23 stars
|
great start!
Well my edition must be older, no harmonica and I got 3 tapes but it's the same BOOK. This book has about an easy 30 songs in both straight harp and then same songs but composed using "note-bending" for a more bluesy sound. It covers history, types, care, a lot of tunes you will know so it's an easier start. I wished it had some bob dylan or stevie wonder but guess then you get into royalties and higher prices follow. Covers a lot of theory(I-IV-V) and playing on the tapes will aid when you don't know a song. This is a HOHNER book so it has to be good, I mean, look at their harmonicas- they don't build junk! | 45 stars
|
great stocking stuffer
Gave these to my musical bro in his stocking, he really digs the easy access. Sticks anywhere, and stays there, but also easily removed if necessary. | 45 stars
|
Not captivating at all
I was pretty excited about this product, the reviews were all fairly good. When it finally came, it was just a CD jewel case inside of a big fancy box with a cheap plastic pick in it. I used the software once and just completely lost interest. May be good if you've never picked up a guitar before, but definitely not good for someone who knows how to hold a pick and pluck a string. Speaking of the pick, it's all I'm using still - not quite worth the $15 I paid for the package. | 01 star
|
what a great buy
I purchased this case for my grandson who got a bass guitar for Christmas. We got a fantastic price on it, I think it was $40.00, and it is very well made and will last for years. Only thing that would improve it would be padded handles, or leather wrapped handles instead of the hard plastic. | 45 stars

Works well unless the bolts are long
I got this for my banjo and the bolts are long and odd shaped. It's hard to get this on there, it seems it is too shallow, but when I get it on it seems to work. | 34 stars

didn't work
I bought this for my old cassette recorder which uses the same type of jack, but it just flat out didn't work at all. Tried it on my iPod, didn't work there either. Sent it back. | 01 star
|
Okay, not great. You get what you pay for.
Not bad, not good either. I've had this stand for a few years. This has served for a Yamaha 61 pro model bari for lots of rock and blues gigs with raucous fans--its been knocked over only a couple times, and would have been on ANY stand. Still, this stand definitely marred the surface of the horn under the bell a bit, but I'm as much at fault for not taking the time to better protect it. The only negative of the stand is that the tension bolts are difficult to adjust, and are too small to get enough tension on the support riser. Still, for what I paid for it, I'm not complaining. | 23 stars

Great Necessary Addition
I LOVE my Pork Pie seats... but they would not be the Only chairs in our house without the back. After we got it my husband and I fought over using it, for everything... So we now have them as our kitchen chairs as well as office chairs. We need to get 2 more!!! It totally makes the chair. A MUST have for any seat. We have never had a problem with it falling/slipping for bending. It's very sturdy and my husband leans back in his chair against it. | 45 stars

Worked OK - until it stopped powering on.
After about 3 moths into owning, it stopped powering on all together. The AC adapter seems OK when testing with other devices. No lights, sound - nothing. A quick cruise through various forums and it looks like these cheaper ART units are rife with issues. So just know that you get what you pay for in this instance.So, it's back for RMA. | 01 star
|
Careful with these people
I bought this thinking it was for a 4 string bass, but when it got here it was for 5 strings, and I sent these guys an email complaining, and they just changed the picture of the item and acted like nothing was wrong. | 01 star

Awesome. Compact and sturdy.
Bought this for my son to encourage him to practice since he wouldn't have to disassemble the sax and put it away. This folds up really small, so it is portable if need be, and is very sturdy. It is only about 18 tall, so it doesn't stand up as high as I expected, but that is not a bad thing. The feet lock into place and support the instrument without wobbling. Hightly recommended. | 45 stars
|
Great product
This is a great banjo strap. It is well made, it looks great and it fits great. The only minor complaint is that the strap has a connector that requires a screwdriver to attach. I would recommend this product. | 45 stars
|
what we neededs
we needed a silencer so my wife can practice at late hours, since she work at day, that was the perfect solution, and we can also record her playing like in a studio, but I haven't check that quality yet.it can operate on batteries only which is a shame since a dc input would have saved us money on batteries. | 45 stars

Not a DJ, but this was perfect for college dorm parties.
I'm a college student and I was looking for something to spice up parties in my dorm room. Imagine my delight when I found this professional strobe light and saw that it wasn't all that expensive.The other reviews have described how this IS a professional product and therefore isn't for all situations. I would definitely agree with that, because often we had to point the light at a wall or keep it under a bed because it was so bright. However, it certainly made parties a lot more exciting.The audio-sync mode isn't terrific. I tried it the first few times with a bunch of pop songs and it was hit or miss.There is an input on the back of the device that would probably make the syncing a lot more accurate, but for my needs, it's not a huge deal.PROS:Cheap, Professional, Useable in tons of situations, Has audio-sync mode so the light blinks to the beat.CONS:Too powerful for most non-professional uses (so put it under furniture or under a blanket!), audio-syncing is spotty.SUMMARY:If you're looking for a great strobe light, get this, but keep in mind it might be too powerful for you and you'll have to figure out how to dampen it somehow. | 45 stars

Excellent capo for classical guitar.
I'm glad that someone finally came up with a decent capo for classical guitars. It works. Simply. That's a very good thing for such a relatively small outlay. | 45 stars

Broken after the 5 use.
Everything appeared to work GREAT when I used it the first 4 times, but the following day it stopped working. I guess I would have rated this 5 stars if the label said: 4 DAY USE ONLY. | 01 star

Great product and service!
Always get great service from Musicians Friend! This Danelectro pedal exceeded my expectations. I have been gigging for 40 years, and have tried many pedals. I keep coming back to Danelectro because you just can't beat what you get for the small amount of money you pay! This pedal is studio quality. The casing is built cheaper than some, but it's inside what counts! Buy it!! | 45 stars

PYLE -PRO 1000WATT SPEAKER- OVERHEAT
I bought this Equipment one month ago, it received in perfect condition not damage in the shipment, when I turn on it, in less than 60 minutes the speaker turns off by itself, went on again and off again, it seem that is overheat. I believe that the equipment becomes too hot, it is not working right. I understand that others customers had the same issue. I bought this Speaker because i need it in my own bussines. What is the recomendation of Amazon in this case, I need a good one equipment of a refund of the money i paid. Please give me your recomendationThank you. | 01 star

Pricy, quality iffy
I think these are ridiculously priced but I was drinking one night and bought them anyway ... the sound isolation is great, but I was disappointed when I found that one of the four in my set was a different size than the other 3. Still works, but looks silly.If you have the money to spend (or are drinking like I was) and prefer functionality over aesthetically pleasing, these may be for you. If you want something that looks good, look elsewhere. | 23 stars

Fun for all

Power Slinkies
I've tried everything from D'Addario to GHS, and even Elixir; nothing compares to the purple pack of Ernie Ball's. These strings are seriously heavy, and will help you achieve a really fat tone. Like the name implies, the Power Slinkies are -thick-, and all that extra meat makes it easy to pop and slap, or even throw in a couple power chords. If you wish your sound could be just a little heavier, these are the strings to get.Unlike the guitar version of Power Slinkies, which complicate bends and can make chords more difficult because of the smaller gap between strings and the increased pressure required to produce a good tone, these strings are fantastic for any style of bass playing. If you haven't tried them yet, even if you think you really like the strings you're using now, you should give these a shot the next time you replace your strings. | 45 stars

KORG-30 Is replaced by KORG-1
The Korg-30 has been discontinued and is being replaced with Korg-1, you only finds this out when you receive your Shipment. At the time I bought mine it was selling for 18.18, amazon was selling the korg-1 for a little over 8 dollars and eligible for free shipping. It's been raised since. The seller did refund me, but just 7 dollars. It looks like another seller is using the same advertisment,and reviews for this item. This is just a warning to verify that you get the best price on the item. | 01 star

Fast shipping and great sound

21 chord fun for the music playing novice
I own one of these and it is a pleasure to play. It holds a tune nicely and I find that the more often I use it the better it holds it tuning. I'm sure there are skilled artisans building one at a time instruments that are far and away superior to these mass produced instruments but for the money this has been a fabulous buy for me. I hope my toddler picks it up later on so I have an excuse to get a second harp--I love how easy this instrument is with the chord buttons, but with a couple of good DVD instructions on playing I've begun to use different strumming techniques and even pluck the melody and at each step I am all the happier I dove in a purchased this autoharp for myself.I'm not a skilled musician, but I so enjoy the mellow sound and the pleasure of being able to make an instrument give out a recognizable tune--go for it!oh, and it sounds good with friends who bring in guitar and fiddle and keyboard. | 45 stars

Poor battery life, stuck notes
At first, this controller worked great. After a couple hours of use however, the batteries were dead. I replaced the batteries (SIX AA!!) and after using it a while I noticed some notes get stuck (some notes randomly sustain indefinitely, most likely the note-off midi message never reaches the computer.) I contacted the m-audio tech support and their solution was to power the controller with the supplied ac adaptor (making it no longer wireless.) Soon after the batteries ran out again, after only another couple hours of use, and I had the bright idea of putting in rechargable batteries. DON'T TRY THIS. The ones I tried got stuck and now one is jammed in forever. This isn't a very reliable keyboard, whether it be limitations in wireless technology or not. Expect to pay a lot for batteries. I would recommend a Keyrig 25 as a wired alternative. | 12 stars

Review...
So... although I haven't opened the new strings that I ordered, these are the same strings that came with my acoustic bass and I am very pleased with them. They sound nice and warm they are also on the more mellow side which I think is good for the acoustic bass but that is just my prefrence. | 34 stars

Love It!
I got for my birthday last year because I'm in my school band and I just love it! I wish it had some tuning features though instead of just the sound. Other wise I love it! | 45 stars

Another reason to buy from Amazon.
I rarely use metronomes (and am probably the worse for it), unless the cheesy "drum machines" that some band leaders use out of economic considerations should even count. But suddenly I found myself in desperate need of one (for a vocalist who needed metronome markings for a future performance). Even though I realized I wouldn't receive one in time (no pun intended), I started searching on Amazon, finally deciding that--at least for my purposes and price point--the Korg MA-30 was just the ticket.I proceeded to place one in my cart--when Amazon's special message appeared at the top of my computer screen, reminding me that I had purchased the identical metronome two years ago! Sure enough. A quick search through my gear yielded the as-yet unopened box with metronome and batteries inside, good as new (actually, it was).As it is, this Korg model is a nice one, shirt-pocket size but with a loud beep (even louder on the downbeat); very sharp, readable screen (with a simulated mechanical, back-and-forth, balance rod); accepts both "write-in" numbers and finger "tap-ins"; has a headphone input jack (practically a necessity for many instrumentalists); has 12 tuning notes (handy for verifying pitch when transcribing music by ear from a recording). And, in case you're curious, this one is priced 10% below what it cost me more than 2 years ago.I'm withholding a star simply because the "perfect" metronome, it seems to me, is one that could "hear" your tempo and automatically throw up the right number on the screen. I'm assuming, of course, that such a metronome is available (probably priced considerably higher). Also, while 40 BPM is probably slow enough for most players, the upper end of 208 BPM is probably not fast enough for some jazz players (by the mid-sixties Miles was frequently taking tempos way in excess of that limit). 40-208 BPM is pretty standard, but if you're intent on getting your chops around "Donna Lee," you may wish to invest in a metronome that can come close to 300 BPM at the upper end.But for my present purposes, this model is one small fire extinguished and a dollar saved, thanks to Amazon's thoughtful feature (it's also prevented me from sending repeat toys to grandkids). | 34 stars

These reeds work nice
These reeds are nice for beginning and intermediate leveled players. As I said in the title: these reeds work nice. Although these reeds are not the greatest, they usually work fine, are very durable and dependable. If you are an advanced musician try Vandoren. Fast shipping and great service as always in Amazon. | 23 stars

Really easy to adjust the height of the stand.
The one hand clutch makes the adjustment of the height so easy. YOu only need one hand to make the adjustment. | 45 stars

Ok for beginning to intermediate composers
This particular Finale product is too basic for truly advanced composers/musicians. You can't change time signatures or keys mid-song...there aren't even grace notes. It only transposes the most basic music. If you play above an 8 or so, it won't keep up with you. We even tried it at a 5, and it missed some stuff. It works at a basic level, which is why I gave it a 2, but the features are very limited! Go for/use the advanced, expensive programs if you're at that level. We did and are MUCh happier! This particular program would be Great for a beginner, though! | 12 stars

General review
The package arrived on time, made it in one piece, the ocarina itself was wrapped in bubble wrap and centered to minimize movement so no chips. | 45 stars

Not a pro solution.
I'm by no means a 'true' audiophile, but I am a music producer that knows how to use monitors in my workflow.Let me make this clear. These WILL make your music sound good. Real good... As a producer, that's a problem. I use monitors to hear the 'flat' sound and use them as a tool to help me 'fill it up'. These 'pre-fill'. Makes them an excellent choice for consumers listening to already mixed music. Not for pro mixing.Great computer speakers! Not great reference monitors. | 23 stars

Great Product
We had tried this amp in the store before buying it on Amazon. It works fabulously, our son loves it. He will be able to plug in his MP3 player and play along, plus he can use ear phones as well. | 45 stars

great sound
Despite the product's limited Mac capabilities, I bought this for a use with a Macbook who's headphone jack was pooping out. I can't address the bundled Windows software. However, what IS apparent is the sound; the sound is cleaner and fuller than what I was getting from the Mac's own jack.I had originally purchased a couple of those 99 cent adapters also from Amazon. They were such crap that I threw them out. Well, you gets whatcha pay for. | 45 stars

they rock !
it's an awsome kit, put it and you can practice while everyone is sleeping and happy, you can use it to really dampen the sound of your acoustic drum and it's very effective . | 45 stars

Good, not Great
This is a servicable guitar stand. It get's the job done. I use it for 2 acoustic guitars. It is well balanced and doesn't want to tip over when there is only one guitar on it. It breaks down easily and can fit in my gig bag which is nice. The biggest problem with it is the head stocks tend to bang into each other when both guitars are on it. It just takes a little maneuvering.I would recommend it though. It's inexpensive, seems durable and as I said before, gets the job done. | 23 stars
