Average Reviews:

I started with a brazilwood stick. Really, it feels like a stick. The Codabow is so well-balanced by comparison. The sound it draws out is lovely and clear. It holds the rosin well, and I am appreciating it more and more as I learn new techniques. I'm very happy with this bow.

Average Reviews:

I don't know anything about violas, but my son wanted on to tinker with and learn how to play. This is a beautiful viola. It came well packaged and undamaged. If you are unfamiliar with violas, you have to be prepared to pay about $30 to have the bridge and post installed by a music shop, unless you know how to do it. We had to pay extra because the post was too long.
We also bought a mute...

Fingerboard Tape: White Review

Fingerboard Tape: White
Average Reviews:

After a short time, this stuff shifts and floats. When removed, it leaves a sticky mess all over the fingerboard. Save yourself a bunch of headaches, as well as messy instruments and strings: use either electrical tape (comes in rainbow colors and is easily trimmed, stays put and doesn't leave residue) or go to the auto parts store and get narrow pinstriping tape.

Yamaha APX500FM Acoustic Electric Guitar, Old Violin Sunburst Review

Yamaha APX500FM Acoustic Electric Guitar, Old Violin Sunburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a very attractive guitar and appealed to me because of the price point and the positive reviews I had seen of this instrument. However it was not a good fit for me and was returned.
I had 2 issues.
1. Frets are pretty small and I was struggling to form chords that I can play with ease on my Fender Stratocaster.
2. There is a lack of bass when playing this guitar acoustically, probably due to it's slimmer body.
Overall I would not recommend buying any guitar unless you try it out first in store. I made that mistake with this guitar. Go to your local store, check out the different guitars you are interested in. Once you have a couple shortlisted go online and see if you can get a better price.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this product so my son could start a violin lesson. I thought that since buying is cheaper than renting for next 6 months, why not (despite the music teacher's recommendation)? Boy, was I wrong. This thing may look like a violin, but no way does it sound like a violin. It's a cheap toy! This thing produces no sound. Likewise, the string adjuster spins on its own so that you cannot tighten to control the tune. What a piece of junk! My recommendation is not to purchase this product to any unsuspecting buyer.

I Just used this rosin on my bow. I usually use Willam Salchow but my luthier ran out. Motrya Gold is a light rosin compared to Salchow you dont get that excessive amount of rosin dust or that horrible hard tone when first you bow. Asides to the price id would of have given 5 Stars

Molinari 3/4 Size Student Violin with Super-Sensitive Strings (Wood Bow, Canvas Case) Review

Molinari 3/4 Size Student Violin with Super-Sensitive Strings (Wood Bow, Canvas Case)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Violin arrived yesterday. Fingerboard is not attached straight(G string is barely over the fingerboard.) Bow is very cheaply made--hairs are sparse & 2 were already falling off when we opened the case. The strings are not angled right on the bridge--nearly impossible to play A string without including D or E!...Will need new bridge if cannot adjust. List price of 450 must be a joke, but for 155 I guess it'll do for a beginner.
UPDATE: The violin teacher said the violin's problems were unacceptable. We returned it to amazon & received a no-hassle refund.

These strings, costing much less than most "brand-name" synthetic violin strings, seem to be well-made and have a decent tone. Best for students and other players wishing the flexibility and response of a metal-wound synthetic string at a minimum price. The violin E string is plain (unwound) steel wire.

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 chances on one of these if you want, but read the return policy VERY carefully.

Sabine MT9000 MetroTune Chromatic Tuner and Metronome (LCD) Review

Sabine MT9000 MetroTune Chromatic Tuner and Metronome (LCD)
Average Reviews:

The metronome function is decent, but could be louder.
The tuner cannot register any notes in the bottom third of my tenor trombone range. Whenever I play a low note, the tuner gets utterly confused and becomes unable to register higher notes as well. Definitely don't buy this tuner if you're a low brass player. Perhaps this tuner was meant for string instruments?
If you're looking for an excellent tuner, I highly recommend the Boss TU-12H.

Fishman Aura Spectrum D.I. Review

Fishman Aura Spectrum D.I.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this on the reccommendation of reviews on line, here and elsewhere. And the reviews were right, this little box does everything I need.
I was looking for a DI that would provide: a tuner, E.Q., feedback suppressor, and a pre-amp. I play a variety of acoustic instruments and needed
a way to change instruments onstage without the noise associated with unplugging a guitar cable from a DI. The Fishman automatically mutes the signal when
the tuner is engaged, cool! Now I can change from my guitar to mandolin or dobro without having to go to the PA to mute the channel. I wanted something that had
all these abilities in one unit, having too many little boxes on-stage is a drag during and after the performance.
Now for the images the unit provides. I don't have any of the guitars imaged, my stage acoustic is a strange cheap Korean guitar that I hotrodded,(tired of dragging expensive guitars to bars), so I just choose the image of the "Concert Guitar" and found a mic image that sounded the best. They all sounded pretty much the same, which all are actually very usable sounds. I knew and expected I wasn't going to make my guitar sound like a vintage Martin, or my cheap but very cool(vintage) Harmony
electric mando sound like a Gibson, but my instruments sounded great and were pre-amped just right, all with just one box!!!
CUSTOMER support, I had a problem with the first unit the vendor sent, it quit working a week after I bought it, just before a gig I was planning and needed it for.
I went to the Fishman website and wrote a letter describing my problem and need (the gig was in one week), they understood my panic, sent me a new unit without requiring me to send the old one in first (Trust and belief in customers is a new experience for me), THIS was WAY cool and the new one came a day before the gig.
In using the Aura Spectrum on the gig, I was pleased to find the feedback suppressor worked miracles, the sound man had me way loud in the monitor, with a loud low frequency making everyone nervous, I just stepped on the feedback button, and POOF!, it was gone. I could tune up various instruments and get levels very easily, all without leaving my chair (I have to sit down to play dobro). This was a new day for me, life was good, I am a happy customer!!
