Yamaha APX500FM Acoustic Electric Guitar, Old Violin Sunburst Review

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.

Becker 1600G Soloist Series Full Size Violin Outfit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Silver Creek Model 2 Violin 4/4 Outfit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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

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.

Corelli Alliance Vivace by Savare are possibly the best synthetic core strings on the market. Corelli Alliance strings provide the warmth of gut along with great projection and stability.
