i used an intellitouch MT-500 before this and it was constant problems. It ddn't pick up the low 'E' and often misread the notes. This tuner is much better. It is easy to use, comes with the added bonus of a metronome and picks up the notes every time. A nice feature is the screen turning from red to green when you hit the note.

The song choices in this book are great. Most are from movies or popular songs. However the arrangements are absolutely terrible for violin. I believe these are the lead vocal parts not what the violin would have actually played. I admit that I like to play the songs from this book as a joke for my friends.

I am really happy with this violin holder. It looked slightly flimsy out of the box, but it holds my instruments and bows really well. Even when the animals and kid run into it, my instrument stays put.
It cliped right onto my stand with no problems.

I bought this violin for my sister's 4th birthday. Very happy with it! It came in very nice condition. Case is REALLY nice. The bridge is a bit high but I plan on having it filed down. Not a professional violin, but definately good enough for a 4 year old! Overall, very good.

Keep in mind I am a beginner violinist so I have not used a large variety of different strings. I bought these because they were positively reviewed against a few popular, much higher priced strings. I cannot confirm these reviews, however, these strings are much more powerful and responsive than others in this price range.

Intellitouch PT10 Mini Clip-On Tuner Review

Intellitouch PT10 Mini Clip-On Tuner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I just bought this baby to tune my acoustic guitar and its AMAZING!!! it accurately tuned every string with ease. The red to green back light is bright and clearly tells you when your in tune. This is a must for any acoustic guitarist. Built in mics are inaccurate and are disrupted by ambient noise, and because this tuner goes off vibration you are receiving and accurate reading. Though it can be used with electric guitars I think plugging an electric guitar into your standard chromatic tuner is more accurate.
So if you own an acoustic guitar I highly recommend this product you wont be disappointed.

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.

The Becker 1600G violin i purchased is of superior quality. Excellent finishing. The tone is very good. Every thing done according to specifications and iam fully satisfied with this violin. Its an excellent instrument for this price range. Only thing i dont like is the bow supplied with the vilon. Its not made of wood and hence jerks.It would have been nice if they included a wooden bow instead of this fibre one.

I purchased one and was so impressed that I bought another. Now I take one camping or on vacation, just about everywhere. And I love the deep tones I get. In fact, after playing some fiddles that were selling for thousands--and deciding that this Silver Creek fiddle sounded as good--I'm putting off buying a "good" fiddle. Maybe as I get better (I've been at it for three years) I'll notice a big difference between this model and the German ones I was urged to buy, ones that cost thousands; however, now I see no reason to spend more.

Corelli Alliance Vivace 4/4 Violin String Set Medium with ball E Review

Corelli Alliance Vivace 4/4 Violin String Set Medium with ball E
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I upgraded from the Corelli Crystal strings to these strings and they are the best strings I've played so far on my violin. The tone is excellent and the projection is awesome. I recently played an outdoor wedding, unaccompanied, and was told the sound resonated well to the back of the crowd and even around the neighborhood. I'm not 100% sold on the steel E string which is why I gave only 4 stars (I'd give 4.5 if they'd let me). The E is nice, but is a bit "tinny" (not surprising since it's plain steel) which has taken me a little while to get used to. The longer I play with it the better it gets, but I may end up experimenting a bit more to find my perfect E string. I'd definitely recommend these strings for solo performers, though every instrument is different and you may need to experiment with strings before finding the perfect fit for your instrument and playing style. Overall I'd say these strings are absolutely awesome for the price, though they are the most expensive strings I've tried so far and can't comment as to how they compare to a more expensive string.
