Wonderful Pick
I ordered a set of these picks because I recently got a Ukulele and wanted to use a pick, but was not a huge fan of the sound coming from a standard plastic pick. I was referred to these picks, and they sound great. They sound much better, and very similar to strumming with your fingers/thumb. I have two of them in a Wedgie pick holder atop my uke, and couldn't be happier | 1positive

Bicycle only?
These have holes too small to go on a motorcycle. You could ream them out... | 0negative

Not compatible with Win XP Media Center
This product is not compatible with Windows XP Media Center Edition. Wasted many days to figure out. Should have mentioned in the product requirements/description. Too bad that I am returning it back. | 0negative

Fantastic DVD!
The sound of this DVD and the performance are amazing! Fear of a Blank Planet is an album that merits to be performed as a whole musical piece and the performance is unbelieveble. Porcupine Tree are definitely at a peak of their career and I hope that the current peak will last. Way Outta Here, Let's Sleep Together, Anesthetize... All songs on the setlist are actually great. They perform three out of for tracks from the great "Nil recurring" as well. A treat for the fans | 1positive

Arrived defective
It arrived fast and we wrapped it and let our daughter open it up for her birthday party. It was a karaoke party. Was.... the machine didn't open the CD player, making it impossible for us to continue with our plans. We spent more time trying to figure out if it was us - it's a simple machine, easy to use, easy to figure out. I read lots of reviews before I purchased this one and I'm not only disappointed, I'm furious that such a lack of quality control would be allowed on Amazon - and don't even ask about how my daughter felt when her little 7th birthday party bombed hard after the main attraction showed up defective. This is our second over $100 purchase from Amazon that has been defecive upon arrival. No more for us, we're done with Amazon. Shop local! | 0negative

love it!
this capo is perfect. i love the pink, it goes perfectly with the color of my guitar. it holds the strings down nice and strong, absolutely no buzz. its easy to open too. stop reading and get it already. ( and btw its $21 at Guitar Center, and they don't have the pink) | 1positive

nice
I got this for my son so he could hold his picks and keep them in place, he's got it on his guitar stem, it is really easy for him to grab a pick and they stay in place, he has no worry's about them falling out as he is playing, great price, (except for shipping price), would tell anyone who needs something to keep they're picks in to get one of these | 1positive

Tried Two of These - Both DOA
Bought one of these at a local GC. First one, only port 1 worked, the rest were dead. Returned it, got another one, totally dead, no working ports. I tried everything you can imagine on both of these units, I was beginning to think that there was something wrong with my system. Exchanged it for a M-Audio Midisport 4x4 Anniversary edition. Installed it and was up on all 4 ports in under 5 minutes.Add in the weird front/back connections for ports 2 and 3, and this unit doesn't cut it. Low price was all it had going for it. | 0negative

Wrong DVD
I also received the wrong DVD. It's labeled as the Dulcimer DVD but when I play it I get instructions on how to play the base. It is unfortunate that I did not check it soon enough after purchase to get a refund...so maybe I should buy a base? :). If you order this, make sure to check the DVD right away. | 0negative

color
So my daughter wanted a pink guitar but I was not able to find one locally in time. Now she says she wants a pink gig bag. Funny, even Daisy Rock doesn't have a pink short scale accoustic gig bag. Does anyone know where to find this item? | 0negative

Beautiful and functional
I bought this and attached it to the wall with the included hardware. It was very easy to install. It is a nice looking violin hanger, and keeps the instrument at hand yet out of harm's way. There is also a place to hang the bow. Highly recommended. | 1positive

Annoying
My Win7 64-bit computer doesn't recognize this device on start-up. I have to wait until the computer boots, disconnect it from the USB port and reconnect it, and then it will work. I did upgrade to the Win 7 drivers. I also had intermittent issues of it working/not working when I ran it on another Win XP machine. Seems fairly reliable with Win7 other than the start-up problem.The writing on the IN and OUT cables is practically unreadable, so you just about have to guess which is which. | 0negative

Eugh - Yuk!
Some of you guys must have some crummy soundcards installed on your machines if this widget sounds better than your stock unit.In theory of course, the AA micro should be the business. It's a dedicated D/A or D/D unit as far as I can tell. But the transients are terribly produced - No solid sound stage, I'm also hearing added noise. And I'm not expecting audiophile quality either! I'm using a mid range pair of Sennheisers on my IBM X40 Thinkpad. Seriously, the installed sound card is quieter and does a far better job. I tried a variety of apps (musicmatch, mediaplayer, audition) with the same results. The noise is not constant, so must be in the conversion stages, instead of interference.Wanted to love this - but it's rubbish. | 0negative

Don't buy this item!!!!
I have been through 3, yes 3, of these speakers!! The first speaker I purchased stopped working altogether after 2 weeks, and it was only used 3 times at moderate volume. The speaker would power on but no sound would come from the iPod dock or the line inputs. No big deal I figured, stuff happens right? So I exchanged that speaker for another one. The FIRST time it was used for a birthday party it would play for 10 minutes and then turn off for 5 then magically come back on for 10. It kept doing this throughout the party, very frustrating. This speaker must have had the overheating issues that you see in other reviews. So AGAIN I exchanged this speaker for another. Not surprisingly, this unit is defective as well. Only the lows work, the highs do not come out at all. If I put my ear to the top of the speaker where the highs should be coming out, there is nothing at all. Only the woofer is working.Ao altogether, I have had 3 of these and none of then have worked. As of this point I will be asking for a refund and trying a different brand. I'm done with Pyle Pro | 0negative

I Love It!
I'm happy with it. It's just what I expected it to be. A clean-looking drum with a nice crisp firecracker sound.I bought it as a second snare to my kit. I use it off to the left, not as the main snare. When I want to go for that firecracker popping snare sound this 10" drum just takes it up a notch from the standard 14" inch snare. The drum alone sounds almost like standard rim shots (at least the way I have it tuned), and when I actually go for the rim shots on this firecracker they are explosive. Rattle off a funky roll on this firecracker letting the sticks randomly pop out rim shots during the roll and the effect is fantastic. It's exactly the sound I was dreaming off. It couldn't be better. I took a chance on this mail-order sight-unseen and it paid off. It's perfect for what I use it for. | 1positive

Grover plastic slide better than Yankee metal
When I wanted a slide whistle to accompany a storyteller, I chose the Yankee cause it was made of metal and a bit more expensive than the plastic Grover. The metal slide whistle works for 2 blows and then gets very airy sounding. The pitch range is very limited. After working with it for several months and trying many different ways of blowing into it, tightening it, wiping it etc--I gave up and got a Grover--a good ole classic plastic slide whistle. Sounds great--great pitch range and consistent sound for long periods of play. Get it if you want a good slide whistle. | 1positive

Vista and DD/DTS
I use the SPDIF output to connect to a DD/DTS 5.1 speaker system (Pioneer HTS-GS1 5.1-Channel Surround Sound System for the Xbox 360) from a Windows Vista laptop. It's nearly flawless. I experience some crackling/popping noises with some music files (not DVD's) but I can work around it by toggling between the SPDIF and analog ouputs in the software. For the price, I can live with this infrequent nuisance. Overall, a fantastic product for the capability it adds. Why don't laptops come standard with SPDIF outputs?Go to TB's website for the latest Vista drivers. | 1positive

product broke after one week
I left the speakers on and after a week they no longer worked. The back of one speaker felt like it was going to catch on fire.I had to sent them back to the m audio for repair. | 0negative

Not happy at this time - Karaoke
I will have to defer comment on this product until I get a new replacement. The monitor on the one received did not work. So therefore, I am now waiting on a replacement. If you want a review of the replacement, I will be happy to give you an honest opinion. | 0negative

No support from behringer
Hi,The mixer is good, is small and convenient, good price.The powercable plug is quite special and delicate, it has little weak pins that in my case bended. Honestly, I didnt push it they are just that bad.No problem you'd say, buy another power adapter...well there are none !! there is not a single power adapter anywhere in the world, I dont know why but it seems that they dont produce them anymore.From Behringer directly the power adapter costs 28 USD! thats more than half the price of the unit so beware!If you already bought, be very careful because this thing is delicate | 0negative

Excellent
Love this thing, really makes my practices so much better. Clear read out, easy to switch metronome: has 2 memories on the metronome so you can switch with the push of a button between two set beats for example 63bpm on M1 then 120bpm M2. Very solid construction, I've thrown this thing at the wall in a fit one day and it still works great, LOL.Only and I do mean only negative is this thing eats batteries goes through at least 1 a month so I just recently invested in a rechargeable 9v. Has a jack to plug it in but I don't want to fool with a cable, or have to buy a universal cord (no cord included).Has a great microphone for picking up tones, I think this is the best tuner I've had for acoustic guitar. I've even sung into the thing to figure out pitch and it worked terrific.Love the volume on the metro sometimes I go high sometimes low depending on speed, distortion and other factors.Highly Recommended!! | 1positive

Fine instrument
For the money, this is a great alto recorder, especially for a beginner on recorder like me. This is not the fault of the alto, but the size makes it difficult for my arthritic fingers to easily reach and cover the holes required. I bought a sopranino recorder (same fingering as the alto) and the much smaller size makes it easier to reach all the holes. If you have arthritis or small hands, you might want to think about a sopranino or a soprano recorder. I love the sound of the alto, so I'm hoping that my fingers will limber up when warmer weather arrives and I can resume playing it. | 1positive

Just what she wanted
One of my daughters who is a musician had included this item on her Wishlist. She was delighted when she opened the box on Christmas morning and found it was exactly what she needed. Great price, great product, quick to ship. | 1positive

This was a GREAT upgrade
I upgraded from aM-Audio FireWire 410to the 828MKII. I got tired of issues I was having with M-Audio drivers (your mileage may vary) and needed more stable drivers and I/O flexibility.That's exactly what I got: The MOTU drivers are solid, the I/O configurations are completely adjustable, and the performance has been superb. CueMix is awesome. I have not used AudioDesk per se, but as it is (more or less) the audio side ofMOTU Digital Performer 5(and DP's audio editing is fantastic), I'm sure Audio Desk is great too. | 1positive

Stand is excellent - Amazon listing and picture deceiving
We purchased this item assuming it came with both a practice pad and the stand. The Amazon listing shows a practice pad in the product photo and lists the item as "Remo Stand, Practice Pad, Tall" That pretty much tells me its a stand AND a pad. Not so. We are disappointed with the listing on Amazon. But the stand is nice, sturdy and what we wanted in a drum pad stand.We will now order the Pad as an addition to the stand. This will cost more than another listing we saw on another site that sold both together. So we are spending more than we would have needed to.Future buyers be warned. | 0negative

Elixir strings, top notch
Great feel, pretty good sound. Are the OEM strings of Taylor. I wish the sound would be a bit brighter, but the sacrifice for life and feel is worth it. | 1positive

lots of fun, easy to run
all right, there is alot of hype right now bout the beat kangz and the upcoming beat thang, only time will tell on that, but, the street boxx is worth every penny amazon is asking, incredibly easy to get started recording your beats, the sound, the design of the machine, all a+++++ you got a whole group of pros downing this machine, well, music on simple machines began before they got their thousand $ toys, and will be around even after they retire to the golf course, fact is, if you want to make music, this thing can def help with your rythym, till you can find sum more players, or invest sum money later down the road for a few otherr select pieces(digital recorder, kp3, turntables,etc) tell you this now, more good music has been made with minimal equipment, than the guys behind the even the 100thousand dollar rows of mixers and money machines, most of that stuff is paid for by wannabes getting thier PAID 'studio time' and the "master producers" making jingles for pizza hut and mcdonalds, dont be ashamed of this game, do your time getting to know what kind of music is in you before you go buy the "big boy" stuff, w a digital 8track(tascam on amazon 8track,onboard burner 364$!!!!!!)a good synth,you can start recording your own music, hip hops origins is doing more w less, this machine does just that, its simply a 2009 version of the basic drum machine, updated from the classic banks like waltz, march, dance etc, to a really easy to use real rythym machine same science, easier to run, and better sounds, better design highly reccomend.update, groove function is cool, makes it so you can change the beat and sound mid song, and its always on time, | 1positive

Great buy
I was recommended this mic by a friend, and I'm so glad I spent the money to buy it. My last mic was $20, and was only so so in quality. Even though I thought the price was a little high, the quality really makes up for it. I highly suggest you have some sort of pop filter to go with it though. | 1positive

Great light.
I am a mobile DJ, I had an event scheduled that would have me outdoors at night with a guest speaker. I knew my colorstrips would not be enough for the distances I would have my light stands from the stage, so I pulled the trigger on ordering this PAR64. This served as an excellent light for my use, and it really made my lighting stand look more professional than the work light alternative I was considering. It worked outstanding on my dimmer pack. I'm seriously considering getting more of them. Certainly American DJ has much better quality than I was expecting after seeing some of the competitors. | 1positive

Very disappointing
I loved this system after I bought it brand new, out of the original boxes. I used it for a few months until suddenly it stopped working. I loved this thing until it lasted much less than one measly year. That was quite a large expense to not even work. Did not even come with a warranty as far as I can tell. What a waste of hundreds of dollars | 0negative

A good set of shoes is essential
It took a while to get this item but it was worth it. If you intend to use the music stand on a smooth, vinyl, or wood surface, the floor protectors are a must. Not so much for carpet, but they even help reduce the foot print in the carpet. Not much else to say, they work OK. Only minor criticism: It would have been helpful and cheaper to send the floor protectors in the same box as the music stand. | 1positive

There's nothing else quite like it....
If you're new to multi-track audio sequencing, I recommend Ableton Live! above every product on the market. It's user interface has been appropriately descibed as "revolutionary" by Mix Magazine and Electronic Musician, take the power of Pro Tools, shave away the most daunting and complex functions and add the simplicity of Sony's Acid loop sequencing software, mix the two togeather and provide an entirely fresh user interface that is instantly approachable, one that yields instant results and you have Ableton Live. I've abandoned Sonar, Cubebase and Vegas Audio in favor of Ableton Live this software is a joy to use. Here's what you get:PROS- Multitrack 16-bit/24-bit recording- About a dozen popular effects(Reverb, Compression, Noise Gate, EQ effects, Amp Sims, etc...)- Powerful control over enevelops- Timewarp feature without pitch alteration.- Snap-to grid layout allowing recorded tracks to syn effortlessly with loops (works uniquely with time wrap feature, has to be heard to be believed)- Track freeze- Smart processing (the software optimizes memory and CPU performance quite well, but allows the user to take control of sample quality and quality of effects if desired)- Solid VST plug-in support. (I've tested with AmpliTube, Korg Legacy Collection, Groove Agent, all at the same time! no problems! I've had many problems using VST's inside other non-Cubase sequencers)- MIDI support goes well beyond the basics, you can set up loops as samples and play Live! like an instrument in real-time, it's actually designed with stage use in mind, but works equally as well in a studio as the heart of a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)- Use computer keyboard as MIDI controller option (compose a melody on a plane or in a hotel room! :)- Works extreemly well on Laptop PC's, was designed to be played Live! on laptops.- ReWire support lets you hook-in to Reason, Cubase and other sequencers to use Ableton as a remote or a host.CONS- No support for DirectX Instruments (DXI)- Limited support for loop types, Live supports WAV, you'll have to convert everything else.Another reviewer mentioned cost of this product, it's priced competitive, don't compare Live! to Sonar or Acid, those products cost about half of what live does, but they are not in the same category. Live! is in the ranks of Reason, Pro Tools and Cubase, which it is priced well against thos products. If you are a student you can purchase the full version of Live for about half the retail price. You can also upgrade from the Lite version of Live (packaged with many M-Audio products) to the full version for the same price. | 1positive

GREAT PRODUCT BUT NOT PERFECT!!
I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY KARAOKE BUSINESS. I'VE ONLY DONE 4 GIGS WITH IT SO FAR. THE SOUNS QUALITY WAS SUPRISINGLY GREAT AND BETTER THAN MY PREVIOUS MICS (SURE SM 58) BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE MIC A SLIGHTLY CLOSER TO YOUR FACE. THERE'S A LITTLE MORE OF A POPPING SOUND ON WORDS THAT HAVE THE LETTER "P" IN IT BUT HALFWAY DECENT SINGERS START TO SOFTEN THE LETTER AFTER NOTICING THE DIFFERENCE. THE RANGE IS PERFECT EVEN WHILE WALKING OR RUNNING AND EVEN WITHOUT CONNECTING THE LITTLE ANTENAE IN THE BACK (THE FUTHEST I'VE TESTED WAS A LITTLE UNDER 100 FT THROUGH SEVERAL WALLS), BUT I STILL PUT IT ON. THE STANDBY MODE IS ANOYING AND NOT NEEDED. THE RED LIGHT SHOULD BE GREEN BECAUSE CUSTOMER THINK RED MEANS "STANDBY", "OFF" OR "DYING BATTERY".THE BEST THING ABOUT THIS PRODUCT IS THAT THERE IS NO HUMMING OR BACKGROUND NOISE WHEN NOBODY'S SINGING AND THERE IS ALMOST NO FEEDBACK AT ALL. I NO LONGER WORRY THAT THE SINGER IS GOING TO WANDER TOO CLOSE TO THE SPEAKER. I WAS ABOUT TO BUY A $100 FEEDBACK ELIMINATOR BEFORE I GOT THESE MICS. MY SET DID NOT PICKUP ANY RADIO STATIONS OR OTHER BROADCAST OF ANY KIND. THE BASE UNIT IS RACK-MOUNTABLE AND LIGHT WEIGHT. WORKS FINE WOTHOUT THE ANTENAES EXTENDED. THERE ARE FOUR LEDS SHOWING YOU WHICH MIC IS WHICH. THE BOX THE SYSTEM COMES IN IS SMALL AND HAS A HANDLE - I USE IT TO CARRY THE MICS AFTER I STUFFED A PIECE OF BUBBLE WRAP IN THE SPACE WHERE THE BASE UNIT USED TO BE.JUST LIKE THE OTHER REVIEWERS I PUT BLACK TAPE OVER THE BATTERY DOOR (THAT ALWAYS GETS LOST NO MATTER WHAT THE DEVICE IS) AND THREE OF THE MICS WORK PERFECT. ONE OF THEM LOST VOLUME (I KEEP IT TO MC & LET THE CUSTOMER USE THE OTHERS) BUT I CAN ADJUST THE RF (IT JUST A SCREW INSIDE THE MIC YOU TURN LEFT OR RIGHT) OR THE VOLUME ON THE OTHERS TO EVEN THEM OUT (THE MICS CAN ALL BE ON ONE CHANNEL OR FOUR SEPERATE CHANNELS) LATER. THEY ARE MADE IN CHINA SO THE PLASTIC IS A LITTLE FLIMSY BUT NOT MUCH AND THEY HAVE A COOL SOFT FINISH. I DON'T HEAR THE BATTERIES RATTLING AROUND. BATTERY LIFE IS ABOUT 16 HRS. I WOULD RECOMEND GETTING A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY SYSTEM - THE BATTERIES THE MICS CAME WITH LEAKED IN ONE MIC (THINK THIS MIGHT BE WHAT LESSEND THE VOLUME ON ONE MIC). EVEN IF ONLY 3 WORK (I DIDN'T EXPECT ALL 4 TO WORK BASED ON PREVIOUS CUSTOMER REVIEWS) - THE SYSTEM IS STILL A GREAT BUY FOR ME CONSIDERING I PAID $100 FOR EACH OF MY PREVIOUS MICS. I'M EVEN GONNA BUY A BACKUP SET! | 1positive

DOES NOT FIT ON STN PYLE SPEAKER STAND
If you need a awesome sounding, powerful, 12 inch speaker, then this one is for you. It sounds great using the pyle hybrid pre amp.The only problem with this speaker is the factory made the speaker mount hole too small to fit on a standard pyle pro speaker stand. You must order the smallest diameter pole that pyle makes to use this speaker on a stand. Guess the factory overseas wants us to use the pphp1291 as a floor monitor only. | 1positive

Bright tone, long lasting - great strings
I own aTaylor Guitars 355-CE Jumbo 12 String Acoustic Electric Guitarand it came with these strings on it. 12 string guitars are generally hard to play for long periods of time, so they might not get as much use as a regular 6 string. The tone from these strings is just as bright and clear 8 months later, and they still hold their tuning like they after the first 2 days. Elixir strings are in general more expensive than other major brands - but the extra few bucks are worth it because the sounds stays so clear and consistent after extensive use. They are great strings on any guitar. | 1positive

Did not work after unpacking
My review is simple. The light doesn't work. I unpacked the light, installed the batteries and the left light didn't work. I noticed that both the light and the switch were flimsy so I moved them a little and it began working. But then I tried a few more times and the left light stopped working again. When it worked, its light flickers. The right light also flickers.I find this product flimsy and constructed with low quality materials and poorly assembled. | 0negative

Honestly speaking
i recently wanted to upgrade my 5 year old Studio . .so i purchased a Tube mic(name withheld) costing thousands of dollars . .truth is. .i was listening to my pevious vocals done with this mic mxl 770. . and tell u what? . they sound alot better . . .i now feel i even wasted my money on this expensive tube mic . iam back to my mxl 770 . .i would not mind recording any one even the greatest of artists on the mxl 770 . .Honestly . iam impressed..forget the cheap price if i were mxl i would probably raise the price . .since thats the only down fall this mic posseses . .hmm. | 1positive

Phosphor Bronze is mellower than 80/20 Bronze
Yes they are more expensive, but they do get more mileage and are worth it to me. However, they are hard to justify on cost alone. I typically get 1.5 to 2X more life out of them and that isn't enough to offset the cost altogether. But, I also like how they play and sound. The nanoweb coating definitely cuts down on the screeching when sliding up and down the neck, and I like that they stay fairly bright and tunable longer than standard strings. Also, I only play my guitar once or twice a week and typically change srings 3 or 4 times per year with these. Cost impact is minimal. I think they are not quite as bright out of the package as new Martins or d'Addarios, but that brightness drops off pretty quickly regardless. After that initial breakin, they stay good longer. I've played both, the phosphor bronze and 80/20 bronze. I can't say that one is better than the other, but the phosphor bronze is mellower while the 80/20 is brighter. It depends on you and your guitar as to which you will like best. My guitar is naturally mellow to begin with, so I like the brighter sounding 80/20s. | 1positive

Too good to be true
I was looking forward to the 24-pack of eggs. When my package arrived there was only 1 inside. I called Sam Ash and was told they would refund my money but could not send me 24 for the price listed by Amazon which was $1.49 + 4.99 shipping and handling.I was looking for a bargain and this one did not pan out. I would rather have had the eggs but was satisfied with the refund. I cannot believe the add is still online. | 0negative

Great for a kid, but maybe too light for you
My little guitarist is much happier now that all his strings are unbroken and bright, and they were easy to string.Notice that First Act makes a little kid sized acoustic guitar that we are using these strings on. I'm not sure that these strings would be ideal for anything else, but they are good for a kid with their light action. Also, they are color coded, which makes it a little easier to get the strings in the right order. | 1positive

Low Quality
I returned this item. The first thing I noticed was that there was terrible feedback no matter how much adjustment I did with the volume on the receiver and on the unit I was connecting it to. The charging station did not charge. In order for the charging light to come on I had to hold the mics down in the charging dock. When I took my hand off, the charging light went out. There was something broken off and rattling around inside one of the mics. The mics only worked intermittently. I bought these mics for Karaoke and did not really expect them to be professional quality. I did expect them to work and this was not the case. I found out after my purchase from other people that PYLE brand mics are generally really low quality. I would not recommend this product to others. | 0negative

Korg Metronome
While this is an inexpensive electronic metronome, it has all the features one needs to practice an instrument and check intonation. Excellent product for the money. Only minor drawback is the sound is a bit soft on its own. However, it can easily be connected to portable speakers or headphones to overcome this minor issue. | 1positive

Very Pleased So Far
Just got this and very happy so far. Product arrived quickly and was well packaged. As a beginner I looked at a lot of banjos in the local Mom and Pop stores. Much as I would like to support the mom's and pop's, I cannot afford to pay double to keep them in business. Couple hundred bucks for this banjo is a real bargain. This is a real pretty banjo. Wood is just beautiful and the workmanship looks great. Not a banjo expert, but cannot find any cosmetic flaws. Even though it sounds horrible when I play it, the problem is me not the banjo.UPDATE: Had this banjo a couple months and still very pleased. | 1positive

Awesome speaker for price!!!
I bought these speakers only off reading all the reviews..i am so glad i did...these things are awesome!! i paired them up with 2 18" powered peavey subs and ran it all through the peavey 8600d powered mixer...the sound was great and pounded all night long..my only regret was not buying 4 of them...the only down side there was, was that the packing was crappy for shipping..been a dj for years, you can never go wrong with peavey!!! | 1positive

This is the capo that won't walk away!
I like Kyser capos anyway, because they are convenient and work well. And there is almost always a Kyser capo clipped onto the headstock of my guitar. But THIS is the one I looked for specifically, because it is pink (and because some of the proceeds go toward breast cancer research, a disease that has left a mark on my family). I got tired of people (mostly guys) "borrowing" my capo in a song circle or at an open mic, and then forgetting about it and walking off with it. After all, mostly everybody with a Kyser capo has a black one and they all look alike. I actually debated other colors that would stand out... bright red, blue... but then realized that if I got a pink one, it might be a little daunting for the guys. And my capo might have less of a chance of walking off (and at least if it did, it would be pretty noticeable). I've got a pink one in the case of the two guitars I use regularly. The leftover black ones are thrown now into the cases of my travel/junk guitars, and lying around on the coffee table so that visitors to my home are free to pick one up and use it if they must. But nobody is going to be allowed to touch the pink ones! | 1positive

CRAP please do not buy this &*#^
Well this was just a disapointment I was playing x box when i hear a bell ring so I went over and picked it up i thought it would be sick when i had in my hands.

I really like my Mijwiz
The mijwiz arrived after 5 days after the shipping due date, but then I have to allow for holiday deliveries. First thing I noticed was that the packaging was done in a neat and professionally enclosed ziplock bag inside of an envelope with instructions. Please be careful how you handle the reeds if you are not familiar with this instrument. One reed worked right away while the other I had to open slightly using a thread. Now it plays beautiful! No, you Do Not drill the ends out! | 1positive

A very nicely made swab
I am not quite sure where to start reviewing an instrument swab? I have recently upgraded to a fine consort of Moeck Rottenburg recorders, and felt I needed to do something better with quality instruments than I have done with my older less expensive collection. Having this swab as well as the one from the other company that does the multi-color swabs, I can say that this swab is very well constructed, is the right size to pass through the bore of the instrument without binding, and the even colors make it more refined and professional looking than other swabs I have used. I also haven't broken or bent it yet, and none of my instruments have gotten moldy or cracked, so I have to say it must be doing its job. 5 stars. | 1positive

Studio Engineer with Experience: This can give you better vocals than Kanye's on Mercy
I did weeks of research on the MXL 770 when shopping for a new microphone for my home studio. I first considered going with the Blue Bird, but then changed my decision to the Blue Spark mainly to save money. Later I decided to review some of MXL's work on the official website. I specialize in Rap/Hip-Hop/R&B, so I needed a Condenser microphone that's best for a rap vocalist. The previous microphone I owned was a Sterling Audio ST51. It was a good mic, but not as warm as it was said to be. I wouldn't recommend the ST51 to rap artists with sharp voices. After researching many MXL microphones, I had a list to choose from: V63, V67, V87, 990, and of course the 770. I looked into microphone demonstrations on youtube, forums & website samples. All mics sounded nice from all the demonstrations I heard, but what really caught my attention with the 770 was the solid bass which was very much needed for the quality I was trying to aim for. Before choosing the 770, I thought about going with the V67 because of recommendations & reviews of how crisp it can be, But I couldn't find anything in reviews that explained how well the bass frequency was. Plus I heard it can be extremely sensitive. Once I received my MXL 770 through the mail, I plugged it into the interface, tweaked a few fx, compared it to my ST51 vocals previously recorded, mixed a sample down with a full mix on the session, synced it into my iTunes, took a listen, and last but not least, smiled with satisfaction. I ask my self why the 770 cost less then the ST51, and why other microphones cost so freakin' dang much. I've had friends that prefer the AT2020 over the BlueBird. Before you buy a microphone for the genre you specialize in. So deep research. Don't go from what you hear on amazon, Take the time Di sect these microphones. | 1positive

Good Value
This was one of my choices in this years quest to send kids home from Christmas with annoyingly noisy gifts that wouldn't die on account of batteries and were hard for parents to disable. Bwa-ha-ha!Kids like Spongebob. These are actually quite nice, loud and good tone. I'm very happy with them. | 1positive

Awesome!!!!!!!
Wow, this guitar is great. I don't know what the guy was talking about whenn they said the amp was messed up. Mine worked beautifully when I plugged it in. this is just like the Les Paul itself and has three tone controls and one volume. Most guitars for this price range have only two knobs!!!!!!!!! I received this four months ago for my 12th birthday and loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 1positive

Martin Loses it
This thing should be recalled and burned. It is tinny with an anti Martin quality of sound and workmanship. Probably made in Mexico. I would sell mine in a second to anyone for $100 brand new. | 0negative

Stay AWAY!
This guitar is really cheap, so it doesnt surprise me that it's made from a nameless company, the tuner is just a pitch pipe. The whole package is a sham, please buy the Yamaha C40 instead, save your money and dont but this. | 0negative

Love this stand
I have used a heavy duty K&M stand that finally got crooked. I love this stand because it works in windy conditions without toppling as easily and readily as many others. | 1positive

What a waste, I wish I could give it zero stars
So I waste $80 on this piece of junk, get it home, put it on the computer, and there's no sound. No matter what I do, I can't get it to work. Don't even waste your money. | 0negative

Great, Bright-sounding Bass Strings
Ever since I was offered this brand when buying strings at a music shop, I've found them to be the best bass strings I've ever used.They have an extremely bright sound that resonates strongly and lasts a bit longer than others. If you play metal or punk rock, you'regoing to love how strong the sound is. If you play funk or do anything with slap bass as well, these will be an absolute godsend - theyare the best strings I've ever used for slapping and popping.Of course, these are round-wounds. Round-wound strings are bright in general, so if you're looking for a more mellow tone or you don't want to build up the callouses to play these strings, you're going to want flat-wound strings instead. | 1positive

Broke a D string after one month
I doubt I had more than 15 hours total playing time on these strings before one of the D strings unwound a few millimeters from the bridge. I was barely strumming the strings with a light pick near the fret board when I heard a pop and saw the inner D string start to unwind. This is the first time I tried these strings and unfortunately the first one to ever break with so little cause. They play nice, but I don't know if I will get them again. | 0negative

Flashback to Windows 95
This software promised a lot but did not deliver a single one of the promised features. I spent over 10 hours trying to get this thing to work. I contacted tech support through their online support site feature. I received a fast response which crytically guided me as to how to install the proper driver for the usb cable for my phone. The computer now recognizes that a Susteen cable has been plugged in with a phone attached but will not do anything with it. Launching the software causes an endless string of error messages about stuff not installed or loaded properly although I did reinstall it and repair the installation several times. Tech support is now unresponsive and telephone support has NO 800 number. It is only open 8 AM to 5 PM Pacific time on weekdays when the rest of the world works for a living. This whole experience reminds me of 10 years ago when installing software with Windows 95. | 0negative

Meh.
I received this Bodhran very quickly from Amazon. It was true to size, though felt a little chintzier than I expected. I guess I assumed it would be a little heavy, but this is a very light drum. My big problem with is were two finger prints on the drum head in what I'm guessing is enamel paint, very obvious and plain to see; very sloppy workmanship. Even if I wasn't giving this as a gift (which I am), this is unacceptable. I am returning this and have already purchased "Trinity College TB-3 Bdhran with Black Rim" from a different seller on Amazon as a replacement. | 0negative

How does this company stay in business?
Look to their other products for more BAD reviews. Their customer support (NO PHONE # just e-mail or write them) to even "unlock" the features. It locks up my computer 90% of the time and they never respond. I need the MP3 unlocked to be able to send it to my phone, but they never send the activation code. Useless!! In case you are wondering if I am just some dolt that just learned how to turn on my computer -I am A+ and Network+ Certified. I know what I am doing and this and the rest of their product line is JUNK. Save your money!! | 0negative

Kun Collapsible 3/4-1/2 Violin Shoulder RestIt is built well. It is compact and simple. It folds to fit in the violin case conveniently. My daughter loves it. I don't go that far because of the price, but it is a whole lot more expensive at the local store! | 1positive

The Easiest One

They're just strings
These are just guitar strings - color coded, so they can be identified. I liked their little case which can be used for holding CD's afterward. I'm sure these aren't for professional guitarists, but it's from First Act! | 1positive

Full Size Steel String Guitar............sure
I bought this guitar for my son for his birthday so he is going to do this review.Don't buy this guitar. COMPLETE letdown. I love my mom for trying but your better off getting a Yamaha C40. It's a little more expensive but it beats the hell out of this.First off, It SMELLS like varnish and it still hasnt gone away. The fretboard is too narrow, there was glue all over the top. Sound is muted because of the laminated top. There was a LOT of sawdust inside (I used an Air compressor to blow most of it out but there is still some in there) and the strings are too close together because of the narrow neck making it difficult to get a decent sound without buzzing. It does not hold it's tune very well, Mostly because of the gig bag (more later) and the strings suck (again, Later) and the tuner pegs, while they are brass, tend to slip making it go out of tune. The bridge is also too weak to support better strings.The accessories are plentiful I have to say. It came with a guitar stand which is pretty decent, a nylon gig bag which is a little snug and does cause it to go out of tune a bit when you take it in and out, If it wasnt soo tight it would be perfect, the bag that is. The neck strap is decent but standard black, I would have liked a matching strap. The extra set of strings are just that, extra. They are cheap weak little strings which would break if I had the courage to go all out on this thing. It also came with a pitch pipe tuner which was made in china, where they have thier own idea of what EADGBE sounds like. A Capo was included with the guitar....It's a good one? Funny thing, It came with an allen wrench as well, COMPLETELY useless. You cant use an allen wrench on an acoustic like this. I just threw it in my toolbox. Last but not least, the picks. It came with five pearlescent tyedye looking picks which I would never be caught playing with. they are mostly pink looking with splashes of blue red and green in them.To recap, If you want a guitar THAT badly and it's all you can afford, go ahead and get this one. If you want something that sounds decent get a Yamaha C40 or I also reccomend an Ibanez Jampack IJV50 (I bought this one a few weeks later) which you can usualy find for under $100 (like at the Dallas Based Brook Mays, I'm sure they have a website too ;P )This Review Is about this ITEM ONLY, Has nothing to do with Austin Bazaar's store or shipping practices (which are great). Amazon.com is sweet too.Reviewed by ChrisAKA Anon A. Moose | 0negative

Decent stacked humbucker (aka DP217) for soloing
Bought a pair of these to replace some stock pickups (LS-120) in a LTD strat (neck & middle position). These are stacked humbuckers but do not have a very high output and sound a lot warmer than I expected. Honestly they don't really sound that great for power chording (but I have a DiMarzio PAF in the bridge for that anyway) but they where they do shine is when soloing and playing single notes on the higher strings/frets. Notes really come thru clear with great distinction. I used the basic humbucker installation and it was simple enough but there are a ton of variations you can do with push/pull pots, etc if you are into that. | 1positive

don't buy this thing
I read the reviews,good and bad and decided to try it any way.Im running a newer version 13"macbook pro,8gig ram.Right out of the box, nothing but trouble with getting the play buttons to work on the exponent, they would work in torq, but not on the unit. Then i updated to the newest version and it worked, then crashed and started reprogramming it self. The pitch knob would all of the sudden become the play button and everything would switch around.To stop it you reset the midi default.I figured that out and managed to use it with all sorts of glitches and crappy sound quality for about a month.Then the left channel all of the sudden is like 40dbs quieter for some reason and also stopped saving my itunes playlist's order for some reason.It's built like crap, sounds like junk, works sometimes.If you want a stable platform for djing, this is NOT the machine.Im selling this piece and kicking my self for buying it. | 0negative

Awesome strings
I have a Gibson Jumbo and a Hummingbird. I've been using the Elixer Phosphor "custom lights" on both guitars over the past 6 months and found them to have very good tone and they last for a good 3 to 4 months. I also like the silky feel of the strings - better on the fingertips. Both of my acoustic guitars have the LR Baggs element pick up system and these strings sound great with or without amplification. All things considered, I really like the strings and don't see myself going back to conventional strings anytime soon. | 1positive

pyle-Pro
I bought this from Dependable Resource. This is the Worst product I have ever bought. It did not work well right out of the box. I accepted a replacement even when everybody is telling me Pyle-pro products are the worst in the market. The replacement is taking forever. I have been told by Dependable Resource to expect a replacement for more than 3 weeks and it is no where to be found. My 1 star rating is bcos I cannot post this without rating the product. it is actually a Zero rating from me for the product and poor customer Service from Dependable Resource. | 0negative

Increased resonance is noticeable...
I've owned a set of these before and ended up selling the kit on which they were being used. I noticed the difference they made on the 16" tom then, and so I recently purchased another set for my current 16" tom. Same results. To me, and in my experience, these suspension feet allow the drum to resonate (sustain) better. Both of the kits I've tried these on are vintage kits. I think it would be reasonable to expect an improvement considering the original floor tom feet are the low-profile, harder plastic-type ones. I've heard concern that the look of them doesn't really compliment vintage sets, but I wouldn't let that distract me. The sound improvement, in my opinion, is worth it. | 1positive
