Intelli IMT-900 Chromatic Clip-on Tuner w/ Tranposing Review

Intelli IMT-900 Chromatic Clip-on Tuner w/ Tranposing
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The IMT-900 is a good performer. It is definitely superior to the Korg AT-2, which it replaces. My old Korg AT-2 was still functional but suffered from all of the obvious drawbacks. It was heavy, bulky, slow, and subject to ambient noise. The IMT-900 is light, small, more easily read, much faster, and immune to off-instrument influence. True, the low E on my guitar is a slower read than the other five strings but proper positioning of the tuner makes it easy. One reviewer complained that his IMT-500 was badly scratched when it arrived. Most likely, he failed to read the notice about removing the protective covering from the instrument. The covering is soft and scratches with a fingernail! Underneath is a crystal hard, sparkling clear, polycarbonate plate that looks great. Another reviewer complained that his IMT-500 finally worked after the third new battery. I tested the battery that came with my IMT-900 and it read 3.22 volts. Obviously a fresh lithium cell. Perhaps the reviewer was unfamiliar with CR-2032 installion and finally got it right.
Anyway, I opted for the IMT-900 over the IMT-500 even though it was $2.00 more expensive. The IMT-900 is described as an improvement over the IMT-500, comes postage paid for $17.99 from this excellent Amazon.com vendor and, unless someone accidentally steps on it, I expect it to last many decades (or a dozen battery changes -- whichever comes first). Altogether, this is an excellent buy and almost a quantum leap from my Korg of the "bad old days."

I bought it for my daugther, who loves to play violin; we are going to put it on the top of her Bat Mitzvah cake, and then of course it will go to her special shelf at her bedroom; the violin is a beautiful replica of a real one, and other great thing is that the color was exactly like my daughter's real violin as she wanted!!!

Yamaha MS1000 Folding Music Stand with Carrying Bag Review

Yamaha MS1000 Folding Music Stand with Carrying Bag
Average Reviews:

I couldn't believe the quality of this music stand when I set it up for the first time. I saw flimsy ones in a local music store that sell for $30 and above. I went ahead with this one because I trust the quality of Yamaha products and I can gladly say I'm not disappointed. It looks really good and sturdy standing in my living room and is very easy to be folded up and put back into the carrying bag if need to. My two kids take it everywhere in the house without any problem.

Resonans 4/4 Violin Shoulder Rest: Low Profile Review

Resonans 4/4 Violin Shoulder Rest: Low Profile
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is one of the worst violin shoulder rests ever. My students who come in with this shoulder rest hate it. It always falls off the violin and we spend half the lesson picking it up off the floor. Sure it's cheap, but you will either hate your practice time and put up with it, or you will immediately purchase a more expensive and higher quality shoulder rest. Save yourself the step and buy a Kun, Wolf, or Bon Musica shoulder rest instead. It's best to try it in a store so you can see how it feels with your unique body shape and then shop around online for the best price.

Schertler DYN-V for Violin and Viola Review

Schertler DYN-V for Violin and Viola
Average Reviews:

I am one of those people who always tries to find a deal. Why pay this amount for name brand when you can get the generic same much less. I've had to learn that in the case of sound equipment, you get what you pay for (for the most part).
Our fiddler needed a pick up and she didnt want one that effected or modified her fiddle in any way. Didnt want to cut any notches into the bridge, etc. She found this picked and when I saw the price, I was put off. Finally, the band caved in and loaned the money for her to get it.
I will say I'm very impressed. The sound is beautiful, we haven't had issues with feedback. It WILL take a little playing around with to find the right place on YOUR fiddle that sounds best. The first time she put it on in the middle of the body, the sound was very hollow. She's played around and found a great sounding spot.
We also bought a pre-amp just to give it that extra head room. If you have the money, buy this pickup.

Foam Shoulder Rest for 4/4 Violin - Firm Review

Foam Shoulder Rest for 4/4 Violin - Firm
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Probably good fit for an adult, but something like this is usually more for a beginning student (typically children). I had to spend a lot of time modifying this to fit my 7 year old student who had managed to break/lose 2 other more expensive shoulder rests. I will be going a different direction in the future. At least it didn't cost much to try.
