Palatino Brazilwood Violin Bow, ¾ Size Review

Palatino Brazilwood Violin Bow, ¾ Size
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this for my son to replace his old one. It arrived in 3 days. On second day, my son took it to show his violin teacher. The teacher noticed the bow stick is very much crooked, and said that will affect performance. The stick is bend to the side and it bends more when the hair is tighten. So I decided to return it. It seems well made, so the problem is likely that the wood used may be not the standard wood for making bow.

Pickup Transducer for Banjo, Mandolin, Guitar, Ukulele, Etc Review

Pickup Transducer for Banjo, Mandolin, Guitar, Ukulele, Etc
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I asked at a well known and respected guitar shop in the San Francisco area about installing a pickup in my Pono tenor ukulele which is very nice except that it projects sound back to the player poorly. The shop wanted to put in a similar style (stick on, unamplified piezo soundboard transducer) Fishman pickup for $175. That seemed unreasonable for a $300 instrument. So I found this pickup, read the one review, and figured I'd get it and try it out. Worst case if I didn't like it, I could just pull it out and have the Fishman installed and use this transducer on other instruments in emergencies. Well, it was easy to install and the ukulele sounds great when plugged into our Roland AC-90 acoustic amp. I don't feel like I'm missing anything except the brand name recognition. Try it. I bet you'll like it too.

Pitch Pocket Tuners HST Clip-On Tuner Review

Pitch Pocket Tuners HST Clip-On Tuner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First, I am a beginner at tuning stringed instruments and music. This tuner works, but it is very sensitive and the needle moves very quickly. I find the red display hard to read. It is nice that the display changes color when you are on key, but the change is sudden and the sweet spot is very narrow. I also have an 'Intelli IMT-500' tuner and like that tuner MUCH better. With it I can 'sneak up' on the note as the meter moves more slowly and the display is much easier to read. Perhaps the Pitch Pocket would be fine for an expert who just needs to verify the instrument is in tune, but I will use the IMT-500.
The reason I have two is that I built two ukuleles and I wanted a tuner in each case. I thought I would see which tuner I liked better and I found out.

The Pitch Pocket Clip-On Tuner allows the guitar player to simply clip it and tune it. This easy to use and highly accurate tuner, is a great value at far less the price than models with comparable features.

Barcus Berry Acoustic-Electric Violin - Emerald Finish Review

Barcus Berry Acoustic-Electric Violin - Emerald Finish
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Owning a Barcus-Berry Electric Violin gives you the freedom to go from playing Bach solo sonatas to taking the stage and improvising with your favorite Hip-Hop, Jazz, Country or Rock Band.
I use my Emerald Green Barcus-Berry Electric Violin to practice improvising jazz scales and patterns over Paganini Caprices and in the studio while I'm producing and writing string arrangements for R&B, Hip-Hop tracks and movie underscores. The rich natural acoustic tone of the Barcus-Berry electric violin meets and exceeds all of the performance demands and expectations of the most discriminating violinist. No Classical, Country, Jazz, Hip-Hop, amateur, professional or studio-session violinist should be without one.

Cecilio CVN-100 Size 1/32 Rosewood Fitted Violin with Case and Accessories Review

Cecilio CVN-100 Size 1/32 Rosewood Fitted Violin with Case and Accessories
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a violin teacher and I know that violins this size are not going to produce much tone - but this one is worse than normal. Plus the fittings (like the bridge) are not fitted well or adjusted to the violin. When you play the A string you can't help but hit the E or D string at the same time. Strings are high off the fingerboard so it's hard for little kids to push them down easily and when you put fingers down the bow hits other strings. I know the price is cheap but you get what you pay for.

Heavy Rubber Practice Mute for Viola Review

Heavy Rubber Practice Mute for Viola
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A little small for my bridge (I play a 16.5 inch viola), but it fit my brother's 16 without a problem. After a little stretching, it fits a little better. I may cut a bit out of the side so it actually sits on the bridge. But the muting is great, and even with a tight fit, it doesn't seem to harm my bridge at all.

Stagg 4/4 Sized Violin Case Review

Stagg 4/4 Sized Violin Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This case is very cheaply made. The description states it is for a 4/4 violin, but I didn't think I was going to be able to even get it closed. It did close, not easily, and I was worried that the slightest bump might damage the instrument. Even more disappointing was that the bow didn't even fit in the lid! I really wouldn't recommend this product at all if you have a higher priced violin. Spend the extra money and get a nicer case - and one that can also house the bow!

Thomastik Infeld Blue 4/4 Violin E String - Tin-plated Steel - Medium Gauge - Removable Ball End Review

Thomastik Infeld Blue 4/4 Violin E String - Tin-plated Steel - Medium Gauge - Removable Ball End
Average Reviews:

This e string has a penetrating sharp sound that will add a lot of power to your violin at top end. It feels solid also, and does not give a wimpy shrill sound, but rather a brilliant and focused sound, all the way up the fingerboard. Because of its volume, I usually swap the string in for a performance and then take it out in favor of the expressive Hill e string for practice.

Bobelock Half Moon 1047 Black/Wine 4/4 Violin Case Review

Bobelock Half Moon 1047 Black/Wine 4/4 Violin Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I ordered this as a Christmas present for my 11 year old violinist son who just graduated to a full size violin. This is a good, decent product, as advertised -- nothing fancy about it. It's a suspension case that comes with a hygrometer, humistat, string tube (wasn't in the advertisement), two bow holders, velcro neck restraint, blanket and accessory pocket inside the canvas outer music pocket. It's a lot lighter than my son's previous case, so that's a plus. I ordered the Bobelock's backpack style V-Strap separately, because I know my son would love it. It should have come with the case, though.
