This product changed my life!!! I was playing in a heavy metal band and we were going under big time. No one seemed to enjoy our music. I played the electric fiddle and guitar. Then one night I came across a basic beat wooden apple shaker sitting on the side of the street. I almost tripped over it. I did not know what...	1positive
Steer clear if you really want to learn to play I have seen these these harps in stores. I am a harp player. The quality on them is very inconsistant. There a few few lucky one that have gotten useable instruments, but for the most part the are decorative only. There are several good harps available from quality manuf...	0negative
Very awesome setup The first mic I got was defective, so I wasn't sure about this mic at first. But since Samson made H4n, I thought I'd stick with it and see. Amazon was awesome in getting a replacement sent and I got a new mic to test within two days as a prime member. I use it for podcasts offline, ADR, sound foley...	1positive
Disappointing... I saw what was offered and the price tag and was duped like everybody else! 2 handheld and 2 lapels/headsets for under a 120 bucks! Too good to pass up! WRONG!I am a mobile DJ and have used this set for 3 weddings. Between low mic volume, signal dropouts, feedback, hissing, etc. I am finally done with...	0negative
not bad at all you won't find better quality until you're looking to spend at least 1,000 bucks or more. this mic is worth the money.	1positive
Excellent!! I have been playing with these strings every day for a month and they still sound like the day I put them on. They are definitely worth the extra money.	1positive
A BIG HIT It was a Christmas gift for grandson--well received. He liked it lots. He's a beginning percussionist so it was the right thing for him.	1positive
Yuk! SO FRIGGIN NOISY! Bought it for a sub mixer for wireless drama mics in church. The pots sound dirty. Don't even THINK about turning up the volume. Sounds like Niagra Falls. Junk!	0negative
Ordered twice 1x Good 2X Not so good I ordered this guitar and it came wrapped up nicely, but without the strap. I called and they immediately sent a replacement which came in an old box that had been damaged and taped up and still did not have the strap. I know they had a problem in the past with the straps smelling ...	0negative
Lizard Spit I picked up my first bottle of lizard spit 6 years ago from POPS music shop in Prescott Arizona. That bottle went empty yesterday. The polis lasts well, it does a superb job of cleaning just about anything you manage to spill . I would reccomend this to anyone, and if you are ever in the area , visit POPS ...	1positive
only ok, and only when it's working This was a present for me since I love to sing. It works ok for karoke--but only when it works. It often has a cd error, or says there's no cd when there is. It's a huge waste for anything else, since the screen is so small. It's heavy and hard to move. The mics it comes w/ are terr...	0negative
WARM TONE, EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE TO PLAY After playing $2000+ acoustics @ Guitar Center, I was blown away how unimpressed I was in my opinion. Nothing special in regards to unique tone. I found one the made "Working Class Hero-John Lennon" sound right (which is my test song for acoustics. So I left w/ no guitar. Along...	1positive
Great Set of Harmonicas! For 20 bucks you can't beat this deal. They look and feel great. Black on black with a VERY nice case - the case alone is worth the money. This is a great set to get started with and an inexpensive way to try out a bunch of different keyed harps. Some people complain about the plastic instead ...	1positive
Hohner Echo Harmonica This harmonica takes a lot of air. I have several and my favorit is the Hohner Chromonica 280 C	0negative
Doesn't touch the old stuff but still pretty good In the most unlikeliest of reunions, Cream got back together in 2005 to play a series of shows at the Royal Albert Hall, the site where it all ended 37 years earlier. In their heyday, the band played with an intensity and improvisation seldom heard in music before or s...	1positive
you get what you pay for at 20$ that breaks out to about $3 a harmonica, it sucks but a $3 harmonica would suck anyways so its fair, but it has a nasty plastic taste and smell to it. kinda like the smell of bad paint. the case is pretty good but my lee oskar won't fit in it so watch out if you want to buy it for the c...	0negative
Nice starter violin I purchased this violin for my daughter. This is a well made violin that has a nice sound after tuning. My daughter likes it. It is a steal at $119.	1positive
didn't last very long due to (possible alcohol fueled) enthusiastic beating, this puppy broke on it's second day of use. luckily we were able to find a temporary replacement, but I had hoped it would last a little longer.	0negative
Gemeinhardt flute plugs These plugs are not as shown. I actually ordered them twice because I thought the wrong ones had been sent. Both times, I received plugs that filled the key holes but they are somewhat loose and not the type shown. They can be pushed thru the key holes too easily and don't seal well. Not a big ...	0negative
Dosen't work, no customer service I got the strobe controller and found that the only functioning mode that worked with the strobe light (specificly made from chauvet) was the audio option. The other 2 simply have no response from the strobe light. I tried numerouse different customer service numbers and all of them s...	0negative
iTunes, Launch and More I own this app and it's awesome! I literally filled an MP3 player in one afternoon with new MP3s using Audio Xtract on my PC. I recorded 6 streams at 128kbs and it was amazing! Then I moved it all to my player, no problem there either.The exciting part is that I just got an email from their sup...	0negative
recommend this very easy to use, compact and has the great feature of being both a tuner and a metronome	1positive
Works fairly well It may take a while to get used to using this pitchpipe, but overall, it gets the job done. A tip I have for new users is to not blow too hard to get the right note, and leave some space open at the corners of your mouth (don't have your whole mouth covering the hole) when you blow. That way, a more ...	1positive
"band" crash i have 14" and 18" ZBT CRASHES and this 16" cymbal does not match my ZBT set. this crash is labelled "band" as for use in jazz music (as far as i know), it is very heavy and has a lower sound than normal ZBT crashes. i actually dampened it and i now use it as a ride, and even so it doesn't have much of a ...	0negative
Chinese violins These cheap Chinese made violins look OK opening the box, but they're strictly beginner's material. My daughters needed to upgrade after 1 year, and the supposedly higher-grade models are absolutely no better.The other reviews I read here look suspicious -- seller or manufacturer padding??Take your cha...	0negative
Perfect fit You can use it with your FBV, pod xt and x3, it has also a space for your cables.	1positive
Didn't work I plugged it in and it didn't work. It may have been a defect from who I purchased it from. Maybe in the future ill purchase from someone more reliable.	0negative
Impressive I am very impressed with this product. The drums do sound as realistic as the advertisements claim. This has been worth every penny for me. Make sure you have a good MIDI Sequencer for your computer that you know how to use or is easy to learn. You do have to wait a few minutes every time you open the plugi...	1positive
Great! This wireless system is great. I had to invest a little more but I do not regret it. The product is absolutely fantastic, easy to install and very efficient.	1positive
Mackie's are amazing speakers The Mackie HR 626 is an amazing active monitor. It is a very accurate speaker in-part because it is built with the amplifiers, drivers, and electronics all matched to produce exactly what the input signal is sending to it, and the results are nothing short of stunning for the price.The ba...	1positive
worst product (this product should be called no star) this is product should not be sold on line or in stores, but should be sold in junk yards cos since i bought this guitar, i have not been able to play it.when you tune the guitar, you dont get the actual sound.very bad.not to be sold	0negative
Very nice. I bought this for my kids and I ended up teaching my wife to play the guitar. It is actually an awesome little guitar for beginners and experienced players. Definite winner.	1positive
Waaaay too big I got this hoping it would fit my Casio 88 key keyboard (Which is quite large) and this was still to big for it. This is definately made for the big stage pianos, not smaller "personal" keyboards. I will probably be returning this item.	0negative
Akai Keyboard finder The item was of inferior quality and was difficult to get to work. I returned the item for a refund.	0negative
One of the better strings I've used Evas on 3 different violins, and exclusively on my current violin. They provide a warmth and depth that is simply unmatched, but only on good violins. I find that they do not sound so great on cheap violins, so for those you're better off in the end with a standard string like a dom...	1positive
Prestigious and Honest... I liked this little cartridge for the under the $50 mark...It's a very honest cartridge in that it does not pretend to be an elite audiophile sounding cartridge and then show it's shortcomings.Basically, it would also be a moot point in trying to compare it with Grado's high end audiophile ca...	1positive
Very high quality toy drum! I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old son, who loves it. It is a very high quality toy drum. I selected it because it didn't have batteries, the design is not too "toddler-like," and I liked the drumstick. My son can hit it very hard and it is very sturdy, and it also make a very nice sound. ...	1positive
Great capo! I'm pretty happy with this purchase. I've been looking for a good capo for about 2 months now. Of course any capo would have been okay with me but I wanted one that would last a long time. My friend told me about Kyser capos and I just had to get one :) I received it today and so far it's coming along grea...	1positive
It is a Mistake to Buy this Product It is a huge mistake to buy this product. Unfortunately, it was purchased for me as a gift; it does not work and now I am stuck with it. Here is my story.This product has horrible users manual; it is barely understandable and the website explanation is not much better. I spent more ...	0negative
Deceptive Seller This 2 X 10 cabinet is louder and punchier than an Aguilar 4 x 10 cabinet, and Aguilars are known for their high sound pressure levels. I tested this cabinet against just about every speaker configuration and brand in the store, and for the size and price, nothing could outperform this cabinet. I pair...	0negative
Nice Light-Weight Tenor Sax Case My 1941 Series II Big B Aristocrat Tenor sax fits great in it. So does my big-bell Buescher 400. From the photos, it appears that the older ones may have been red inside. This new one is black inside. I really don't see any other appreciable difference with the photos of the older mode...	1positive
Violin shoulder rest by Kun My daughter's violin teacher recommend this brand of shoulder rest because they don't slip! She was right! this shoulder rest works perfectly! would recommend! Super fast shipment and great seller, might I add! Love this shoulder rest! Would definitely recommend!	1positive
Yeah! Great for a plastic! I have been playing for 8 years and I normally play on "high quality reeds" but they worked great for jazz band they are loud and don't break as easy. Be careful plastics squeaks! I would buy again, satisfied with shipment!! Thumbs upppp!!!	1positive
Just what the doctor ordered Use this for podcasting. Some people say "muddy" sounding.......yeah and some people talk about how a certain wine has boquet or body, when I think most of them taste like crap. This sounds great to me. Are some microphones better? Probably but just like anything in life, there are wants, ...	1positive
Blazing Guitar I purchased this guitar over a year ago from Musicians Friend and was extremely pleased. This guitar allows for blazing hot leads and has low action and a fast neck. Only difference between the Epi model and the Gibson version is cost and the passive pickups. I rate this model 4 stars only because it do...	1positive
Cheap but good It's a really good for the money guitar stand. You cant get or beat the price. Buy one now :).	1positive
Disappointed in case Purchased this case for a Buffet student clarinet. While I realize that the instrument should fit snuggly, the case would not close without stressing it. Clasps needed to be forced into alignment to close, hinges looked extremely week and would break with one hard inpact in the band truck. The sto...	0negative
Fits Like A Glove These drummers gloves fit perfectly.I'm glad I bought them.The seller was very prompt and his speed was quite fast.I did speak with him on the phone before I purchased and he was very friendly and helpful.I will do business with this seller again,if I have a need.These gloves are fulfilling a need th...	1positive
Pickup cover holes don't line up. It seems that the pickups on mexican stratocasters and American stratocasters are just a litlle different. I have an American Stratocaster and the pickup cover holes didn't line up. They don't fit over the pickup poles so you end up routing the last one (high E) out with a rat tail fi...	0negative
Tinny. If I mixed on these speakers and turned up the bass on the kick drum enough to hear it, it would sound like a taiko drum on a system with a subwoofer.	0negative
Even with low expectations, this product was disappointing Due to the price, I was not expecting much when I purchased this product, just basic set of serviceable harmonicas. Still this set turned out to be somewhat disappointing.All of the harps in the set I received work, but they play very stiff. This is suppose to...	0negative
Just Buy A Real One! Just get a real one. It's a waist to get a student guitar. Trust me just spend $20.00 more on a real one, or better yet just don't buy a guitar. That may be the fad this decade but kids like me are going to need that money to go to collage or buy a car later on. Save your money kids, save your mon...	0negative
waste of time and money I received the pedal as a Christmas gift.I plugged it in and attempted to play this piece. The chorus effect of the pedal is mediocre at best we're talking Behringer quality at higher than Boss prices. The flange did not even work at all rather it gave off a horrible high pitched squealing and ...	0negative
Works well This works well. I use a Tortex .75 pick and it stays in well. I've also tried a Tortex .60 pick and it also works very adequately. I can't imagine using a thinner pick. It holds the picks well. I only use it to hold the pick between playing the guitar. If you expected it to hold the pick through a train ri...	1positive
Perfect for the DIY ukester If you have ever spent hours watching all of those DIY ukulele setup videos demonstrating how to modify the nut and saddle heights or dress the frets as to improve the action or prevent buzzing but just didn't have a ukulele that you felt comfortable messing with, this is probably the ukule...	0negative
Epiphone DR-212 Acoustic Guitar, 12-String, Natural I knew I did right by buying the DR-212. It's great and stands up to much more expensive of it's kind.I have lots of Gibsons as well as Epiphones and frankly I don't see any difference to speak of. If anybody wants a durable acoustic 12 string with fine sound you'll ...	1positive
Great Product Great Sounds! I own this product and frequently write music with Virtual Drumline, Sibelius 5 and Kontakt 3. Another user review stated it doesn't function properly, I had that problem also but when speaking with (the very helpful) tech support the told me just to install the updates with the Natvie Inst...	1positive
We returned it the next day. Bad sound - mic couldn't be heard over the music, until you turned it up to distorted, hissing levels. We returned this item.	0negative
Just what I was looking for I put a set of these on a PRS SASNF that has a maple fretboard. They warmed up the sound just the right amount.	1positive
Shure PGX24/SM86 I DON'T EXPECT THAT THIS PRODCT IS MADE IN CHINA. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOPINTED. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH ITS PERFORMANCE.	0negative
JUNK Absolute junk. I too was taken in by the idea of a cheap Martin Backpacker copy. This company has made a lot of money from us cheapos trying to get a good deal. For the others who have also been duped and still scratching their heads on how to tune or play this thing, here is a tip. Put a capo on the first fret a...	0negative
Flat and Boring This reverb pedal is flat and boring. EHX pedals, in general, are flat and boring and I would advise against purchasing them.	0negative
This is a bargain neighbor! This adapter is priced right, reliable and is exactly what I needed for my FEA Growler Pedal. My pedal requires 9v DC, 2.1mm Barrel Connector, & negative center pin; perfect!	1positive
Great quality at an affordable price I purchased this slotted nut after the nut on my beater 1970's Aspen D-28 (it's a faithful Japanese copy of the Martin D-28) split down the middle. The installation was rather quick and painless and I got to hear the difference almost immediately after purchasing it. Before I repla...	1positive
Epiphone DR-200S I purchased this guitar from Amazon to learn to play. I purchased Epiphone becauseof it's reputation. The guitar arrived on-time and in perfect condition. The guitarlooks beautiful and sounds great, well worth the price. Very satisfied with thisAmazon purchase as usually.	1positive
Ouch! The strap has several issues. First the padding was so long that even with the strap shortened toits shortest possible, the bass would have to be played from around thehips and it only had one hole to attach; would prefer 2 holes in case one tears/wears.Second and more important, the nylon, where the strap ends ...	0negative
not good received product broken. pretty flimsy. Packaging was not sturdy either. It says it can hold a 20 inch ball, but I'm not sure about that. Either way i never found out since it was broken. Ordered a new one from a different website and it works great. Would not recommend this item.	0negative
Excelentes Hace poco tiempo que tengo mis TS70B y estoy muy contento. Son livianos y muy resistentes. Actualmente losutilizo para soportar las JBL EON G2 y funcionan perfecto, buena estabilidad. Los recomiendo.	1positive
Right on pitch... My daughter is a singer and recently came off a European tour with a choir. Her choirmaster had this pitchpipe and I was so pleased to give it to her for her birthday.Great quality. Perfect present. An industry must-have!	1positive
Good product Locks well, very tight - to the extent that I am afraid it will hurt my guitar neck.The appearance looks cool.	1positive
Good mic to pair with gopro I purchased this microphone as an external mic for myGoPro HD HERO2: Motorsports Edition. I really like it. The gopro internal microphone is terrible, and this thing is a night and day improvement, especially for the price. It's got a wire and easy to use clip if you wanted to attach to you...	1positive
Awesome sounding mic After our bass drum mic in our kit broke I wanted to find something else so we could continue recording. I decided on this one after reading the awesome reviews. I must say this mic has exceeded my expectations. Straight out of the box I was able to get a great bass drum sound. I seriously had to ...	1positive
A must have For a working musician this software is a must have in ur arsenal. It makes ur life easy n cheaper than hiring a professional drummer. Though this is professionaly recorded I rate it 5 *****	1positive
Sony FV-100 ominidirectional microphone I bought this microphone for an oral history project for school which required me to use an external microphone with a digital recorder. This microphone does not have an on/off switch which you really need for any kind of sound quality. Recordings made with the microphone were b...	0negative
Very nice, but not as heavy duty as I thought. This is a nice case with plenty of mounting space and well thought out, except the wheels and the handle are in awkward location.I was expecting the handle to stay on top - just like a travel luggage. But the handle on this case is mounted flat on the bottom. To move the ...	1positive
Better Than CD Creator Easy CD Creator would not work on my system. I uninstalled and reinstalled the blasted thing and it still would not make my CD burner burn. So I installed this product called RecordNow Max. It worked the first time. Now I'm burning my own CD's like a madman. Very good product.	1positive
Worst piece of Junk I've ever owned... Listen,If you preform out on a weekly basis I urge you not to buy this sustain pedal. The rubber grips on the bottom and top of the unit fell off of mine after a week of practice and three shows. On the very last night that I used this product the spring mechanism went all wackad...	0negative
Not the best... I just purchased this unit and am disappointed with the features (my own fault for not looking into it enough) and the performance. As far as performance, the unit's Direct Monitor output distorts now and then for no reason (strange pixelized digital distortion, not because of a signal that's too large...	0negative
Everything I wanted in a mic! As a college student trying to get into voice acting, it was difficult to find a microphone that would be suited to what I needed. I eventually had to choose between this microphone and the Blue Snowball. I'm very glad I purchased this microphone! I simply plugged it in, installed the req...	1positive
Not bad at all $49 for a $199 microphone at Amazon? May not be the best mic out there but for home studios, this one marks the spot. Get it if you're on a budget.	1positive
Horrible... What a waste of money. It was so cheaply constructed. A string snapped as soon as I went to tighten it. There was no sound after all things were plugged in. It came with no directions so we weren't even sure we were doing it right. We ended up sending it back and it took weeks to get our money refunded.	0negative
good it feels kind of cheap, but it is, and it works well. so, if you're on a budget it's worth it	1positive
Junk is junk Generally, if you see Pakistan as the origin of ANY bagpipe-related gear, best to just avoid it. I've been a piper more than 30 years and have yet to see anything from that part of the world which was not fit only for display over the fireplace -- or kindling in it. A good chanter reed these days will cos...	0negative
Solid bag, but tight fit for a 14"er Remo comes through with another well-made product. Only complaint here is the bag's tightness makes loading more of a problem than it need be, so no 5th star.	1positive
Not the original strap! I just got this today in the mail and I've notice that it does not have the planet waves' logo and the "JS" is painted and not stamp! I know the the difference because I own a couple and I must admit they look cooler with other js logo. This just looks cheap. I'm returning it and I was told by ...	0negative
Good Idea, Really Bad Execution - better unit for a few $'s more OK, it was cheap (nine bucks at the time), the design looked good and sensible, and it seemed a perfect solution to a real need. I bought it without hesitation. HOWEVER(!), once hooked up, I was very surprised how flimsy it is. I have a 13" gooseneck, a ...	0negative
Great sound This is a full set of premium guitar strings. According to the box, the strings have a special coating that prevents contamination and corrosion from collecting in the windings of the strings, and this is supposed to make the strings last 3 to 5 times longer. Interesting claim. Of course, the highest 2 str...	1positive
Renewed my guiter I have a Yamaha student accoutic. I was ready to chop it up and burn it in the fireplace. The strings it came with hurt my fingers and the sound was awful. I blamed it on the action of the guitar. When I went to another guitar store, looking to upgrade to a much more expensive guitar, the guy handed ...	1positive
Had high hopes I was really looking forward to getting this case but was pretty disappointed when I put my flugel and trumpet in it. First, regarding the area for the flugel. The horn seemed to fit nicely but there was little to no padding to support the bottom of the horn as it rested on the bottom/back of the case. ...	0negative
Absolute waste of money- will not create a viable DVD Absolute waste of time and money. #1: install disk has a setup file that causes install not to work on some machines. Have to figure out on your own, through vague knowledge base, then download proper setup file and copy everything to HD to install. Already that's ...	0negative
Excellent Head I purchased these along with many other heads for my entire set. Lets just simply say that these are the best heads on the market. The first look just astounds you. Its definitely a durable head. Ive used this for the past year or so and i just sounds better with age. I even bought a new one and just re...	1positive
SKB Mackie Bag Purchased two of these for Mackie 450s. Flimsy design. After minimal usage, about one job a month, top handle ripped. Wheels are flimsy and are out of alignment and broken. I puchased a EVI hard case for them and am eager for when it arrives.	0negative
gross This product quickly fell apart. It looked ok, but it was a sucky quality!	0negative
Great for the price... iPod dock poorly implemented. I bought this speaker for personal use. The speaker was delivered within two days of purchase (I chose standard shipping). The sound is great! For the price, I think it's a great speaker. There's only one problem; The built-in iPod dock is a great idea very poorly i...	0negative
DVD Creation If you plan on using this to create your own DVD's, be aware there are limitations. Menu titles are truncated, MPG encoding is minimal. I was a Roxio fan until I purchased this version. The free software that came with my DVD burner works better.	0negative
Broke right away While this was the perfect gift for my musician husband, the key chain loop gave out after two days of use. Now it is just a useless pick holder - keeping picks out of his pockets was the main goal. very disappointed that weak craftmanship on a simple metal chain ruined an otherwise perfect gift.	0negative
Avoid this brand I ordered this amp hoping for something that would work with my bass and guitar for rehearsals. I was a little iffy because of the varied reviews; it seemed to have as many bad as good. Turns out the QC on these is horrible, I know sometimes you get a bad egg (I work on computers, you can't catch em a...	0negative
Professional Quality I'm a 7th grade band student and have been playing for just over 4 years. I started out on the original Rico and gradually went up. Rico royal, Mitchell lurie, la voz, Vandoren, you name it I have tried them all. This is when I played on 2.5. I just couldn't find a reed that I liked. I got these t...	1positive
Very disappointing.... This piano does not match its description. It sounds more like a poorly tuned Xylophone than a piano and the keys are very loose which does not give a realistic piano playing experience.The sellers also make it very difficult to return this product since I would have to pay for return shipping w...	0negative
Long road but a good one Decent guitar for the price. Beginners guitar at best. If your looking for a true strat this isnt it if your looking for something the kids can get practice and look cool doing it well good price for what you get	1positive
