Great sounding strings, but I don't suggest you get these if you play hard. My friend used my guitar for a show and asked what kind of strings I use. He said they were going to break. Elixir always breaks on him because he plays hard. Sure enough they broke. I play more lead type stuff and like to work the dynamics on the string/strum level as opposed to the amp/pedal level so the responsiveness ...             M-Audio Studiophile AV 40 Powered Speakers28 reviews M-Audio M-Audio Excellent Presentation Clarity and Volume I bought these speakers at Amazon after hearing them at my local Guitar Center - nice place, but WAY overpriced. Also after seeing so many positive reviews about their clarity at high volume levels, I took the plunge. I can honestly say that the quality of the product is top notch. First, the packaging - TRIPLE boxed - they're already double boxed from the factory, then they are placed ...             Full Size Acoustic Guitar with Free Carrying Bag - Natural20 reviews Austin Bazaar Affiliate Austin Bazaar Affiliate Johnny's smiling! That's good enough for me! I hesitated buying this guitar for my grandson when I saw a few negative reviews, but when I checked the list, the 5- and 4-star reviews were double the negative ones, so I decided to purchase it. I realize it's not the best on the market, but a beginner doesn't need the best. Kids often think they want to play the guitar, then later change their minds in favor of drums or something else that ...             M-Audio SP-2 US65010 Sustain Pedal Piano Style Sustain Pedal for Keyboards37 reviews M-Audio M-Audio Polarity switch - makes this universal pedal a good choice The description leaves out an important feature of this pedal--a polarity switch. Some keyboards interpret the signal from the pedal differently, meaning that if you match the wrong pedal with the wrong keyboard, then the sustain is on when the pedal is up. This pedal has a polarity switch, so it can be used for either style keyboard.             Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive Turntable190 reviews Audio Technica Audio Technica I LOVE THIS TURNTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! A well built,3 speed, manual turnable with preamp and dust cover!. Sturdy unit, not like the paper thin plastic ones you see around that also play back with a lot of wow and flutter!!.It looks great and sounds great plugged right into my Creative Audigy Soundcard for LP transfers to CD.Some people have mentioned this turntable humming but I have NOT experienced ANY humming. Mine is really nice ...             Musicians Gear Deluxe Dreadnought Gig Bag10 reviews Musicians Gear Musicians Gear Great Gig bag I just received this product today. I was rather satisfied by the sturdiness of the bag. It has padding and multiple straps. I especially like this bag because the straps make transporting my guitar very easy and comfortable. If you're on a budget and need a bag. This is a great deal.             Martin MSP4100 Light SP Acoustic Guitar Strings8 reviews Martin Martin Professional Acoustic Guitarist, I ONLY use these... Prior to using these I would break strings constantly. After a very long period of trying every string out there it was an easy choice. They are the only strings I use now, and occasional efforts to find something better have failed. Super reliable, tough, and they sound fantastic on my Rainsong Jumbo. I haven't done a lot of reviews, but I truly think these are the best acoustic strings you ...             ACOUSTIC RESEARCH AP-16100W 100' White 16 Gauge Oxygen-Free Speaker Wire11 reviews ACOUSTIC RESEARCH ACOUSTIC RESEARCH Good product Good 16 gauge speaker wire. Looks much better than my old black and clear speaker wires on the wall.             Zoom H4 Handy Recorder100 reviews Zoom Zoom weird package but great features and sound I read all the reviews before buying this thing and at first i was worried of some of the problems people were having with it. Mostly firmware related, a lot has been fixed, they ship with version 2.2 and gripes like level setting memory,card problems,and conversion errors are gone. Battery life with 2500 maH batteries was 6 hours! 8 gig cards do indeed work. Batteries are in a crappy place and ...             D'Addario 3-Pack Acous Gtr Phos Brz Lite1 review D'Addario D'Addario Excellent buy Guitar strings have a tendency to break, and buying this 3-pack at a very low cost certainly helps stay 'tuned'. Excellent buy, the product reached me within 4 days, and I have faced no problems yet.             Rogue RA-100D Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar, Black7 reviews Rogue Rogue one woman's review I've been playing the violin for 20-plus years and the guitar for at least 10 years, so I guess you could say I'm a fairly accomplished musician. As a musician, I have to say that this guitar is worth much more than its asking price. It looks great and sounds even better, especially considering that it costs so little to buy! I've owned several guitars and this one sounds just as good as any ...             Austin Bazaar Full Size Violin 4 X 4 with Case - Natural Color31 reviews Austin Bazaar Affiliate Austin Bazaar Affiliate Great violin for the price I actually bought this violin three years ago with the intentions of learning to play it. The need to take some college courses for my job took a lot of time away from me, and I packed the violin away for a while. At the beginning of this year, 2008, I was free of college classes, and it was time to take violin lessons! My instructor was impressed with the price I paid for this violin. He ...             ViolinFactory Solid BLACK color 4/4 Full Size Teachers Recommended Student Violin + Bow + Case + Rosin ...9 reviews ALRONS.com ALRONS.com rawr I took my time and picked out a cheap violin to fool around with and this looked like a good deal. I even paid attention to when everyone said that you need to be careful with the strings and all that jazz BUT the stupid things snapped...twice and I even had the music store tune it after I broke the first string and he snapped 2 more while I was standing there. Im just annoyed with it, maybe it ...             Silvertone SD3000PAK NA Silvertone SD3000 Acoustic Guitar Pack, Natural10 reviews Silvertone Silvertone Wonderful Hi I'm Rachael, This guitar is so beautiful. It's even nicer than the picture. I love it so much. It was packaged very well and came out of the box still smelling like finish. It's very sturdy and comes with everything a beginner needs: chord chart, digital tuner, picks, a nice bag and strap. I love this guitar - I even took it to a music store and the guy said it was a great guitar and for 90$ ...             Jasmine by Takamine S35 Acoustic Guitar, Natural10 reviews Takamine Takamine A review in one word: "Smooth" Smooth the the touch. Smooth to the ear. Takamine's model designation for this is 'S35'. In my estimation, the 'S' must stand for 'solid', 'smooth', 'superb', 'special' or just plain 'sweet'. This guitar seems to be perfect for a beginner or amateur/recreational player. The construction and overall quality are very impressive. From the solid fit and finish to the easy to tune/maintain ...             First Act Discovery FG130 Student Acoustic Guitar57 reviews First Act Inc. First Act Inc. Ironically, it's not for kids I have been reading the reviews of kids smashing these guitars -- which is of course amusing. DO NOT buy any guitar for little kids unless you are going to spend time with them. Teach them to not treat it as a toy. Don't just hand it over to them -- of course they will use it as a blunt instrument. OF COURSE the strings will be off the guitar in an hour! The secret of this guitar is that it ...             Stagg SG-A108BK A-Frame Guitar Stand3 reviews Stagg Stagg Great price for exactly what I needed I am using these stands for Guitar Hero controllers, so I had a fear they would be way too large, but they work great. The price was great, they were easy to set up and arrived quickly. Perfect transaction that saved me from trying to make a custom mini-stand in service of my wife's Guitar Hero fetish!             Martin MSP4200 Medium Studio Performance Acoustic Guitar Strings3 reviews Martin Martin Great Strings - Great Price! I purchased 18 sets of Martin SP Phosfer Bronze Medium Guage Guitar strings. This Venders price was seriously lower than anyone else. So I was a little nervious purchaseing from them. But I won't be nervious in the future. The Vender's service was excellent. Fast shipping - Lowest price - Great product. I will do it again.             SP Acoustic Guitar Strings: Phosphor Bronze Light/Medium1 review Martin Martin PERFECT FOR MY GUITAR I own a Martin D-15 acoustic guitar (the all-mahogany dreadnought) and found that with the medium strings (the 13-56) I was getting AMAZING volume and tone but that they were exerting a bit too much tension on my guitar. It was a very tricky guitar to set up, and I didn't want to fool with it any more. I switched to the light gauge (the 12s) and found that I lost too much volume and tone and that ...              search for musical instruments acoustic, addario, ap-16100w, at-pl120, audio-technica, carrying, complete, direct-drive, discovery, dreadnought, keyboards, msp4100, musicians, oxygen-free, performance, phosphor, professional, recommended, recorder, research, sd3000pak, sg-a108bk, silvertone, speakers, studiophile, takamine, teachers, technica, turntable, violinfactory musical instruments:    randomly chosen DVD: Tekkon Kinkreet Impressum - about us get your own free shoutbox
