Gator GL-Violin Lightweight 4/4 Violin Case, Pink¹ Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This case is very solid and tough. I worry far less about my violin's safety now. I noted that several reviewers had difficulty fitting their bows into the case, but I have not experienced this problem. Both of my full size bows fit easily, although the fit is snug. Overall, I am very happy with this case and I love the color!

Arion In-Case Humidifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have had a variety of in case hunidifiers for my two classical guitars. Latest was a combo of two OASIS heavy duty humidifiers I had for each case. In Phoenix, Arizona - with its low hunidity and opening and closing the case for practice etc - I was rarely able to keep the humidity above 37-38% using TWO in each case. Also meant I was filling these up every 3-4 days.
Recently had my action adjusted by a luthier and he advised the arions. I bought two - one for each case and over the past week have watched and monitored the humidity levels. (I keep a hygrometer in each case)
Each case/guitar is consistantly at 47-52% using ONE ARION in each case.
I detect no leakage - which was my other concern. However after filling them with water - you do have to wait until the gel swells to capture the moisture - so you have a few minutes before you can toss these back in your case. Arion suggest you add water every 1-3 months. Have not had long enough to know if that is true...so far MUCH longer than OASIS though.
I do not know the longevity of the gel and ARION suggests replacement each year - while that sounds steep - will wait and see.
As of today I am satisfied as this product has done the best to date at providing in case humidity among the 10 or so products I have tried.

Perfect for our string and woodwind cases! By maintaining appropriate levels of humidity in your instrument case, you can prevent loss of tonality, structural damage (such as warping, seam separation and cracking to your instrument), and prevent bow hair from shrinking.The Arion design is unique and has none of the shortcomings of traditional humidifiers. It relies on a proprietary special solution combined with hydrogels enclosed in a space-age plastic that allows moisture to consistently escape through its walls. The Arion Humidifier will not leak in your case, requires only plain tap water every 1-3 months and will last for many years.

Becker BB1 Violin Bridge 4/4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a typical maple 4/4 violin bridge. Mine actually showed up with a ding on the top edge. I just lowered the action a little by sanding down that edge and the nick was removed, but still . . . I wasn't happy being sold damaged goods. The inside scroll work looks good and the edges are crisp: I don't have any complaints otherwise.
This definitely isn't a drop in replacement. You will have to sand the feet to sit flatly against your sounding board since every violin is different. You'll also need to bevel the top edge and notch it to hold the strings. Do an internet search for how to fit a violin bridge and you should be able to do it yourself. The only supplies you need are a sheet of 220 grit sandpaper and razor blade / tiny file (to cut the notches).
I say 4 stars instead of 5 because of the minor top edge damage.

Kun Voce Violin Shoulder Rest, 4/4-3/4 Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Compared to most shoulder rests this one seems ridiculously over priced. However, as I have found over the last month of daily use it is worth the extra money. Yes, it is a neat thing that it is made from lightweight and highly durable carbon fiber but quite honestly the real advantage with this shoulder rest is it's adjustability to your own anatomy and playing style. With most other shoulder rests there is only one way to put them on the violin and to have it rest on your shoulder. This one permits you to adjust the positioning of the shoulder rest on the violin and thus the position of the violin relative to the player. It is well made with durable soft plastic feet that shouldn't dry out and crack. Unlike other shoulder rests which only offer three holes on each side you can adjust the width of the feet in a continuous manner with clamps. Initially I had to play around with the shoulder rest to find the optimal position but once that was found I was able to play without even noticing it and missing my old shoulder rest. There are a few downsides with this shoulder rest. The first there are no directions so as far as adjusting it and finding the most comfortable position you are on your own. The second is the price but a little shopping around you can generally find it less than the list price.

The Voce represents a revolution in shoulder rest design.The choice of carbon fiber for the base enhances its acoustic and resonance properties, which are equal to or better than natural wood.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son is the one who uses this so I must say I don't know much about it but he told me it's wonderful. He plays the electric violin and is very perticular about quailty of products, etc. So if he likes this I'm sure it's top notch.

Glaesel Cleaner/Polish For Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass 2-Oz. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this polish when I first started the violin and being, well, stupid, I used way too much polish than necessary. Later I found out you only need about one drop for the whole body. It lasted me (including when I used to use overkill amount) one year using it usually once a week and I still have some left. I think it is worth the buy and the price is reasonable. I hope that this helped you.
