Profile Mini Clip-On Digital Tuner with Back Light, Black, AMS-PT-2800 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The instructions are really bad. But, alas, it is pretty easy to figure out intuitively. I was tuning my guitar with the gstring app on my phone and sometimes with my old regular guitar tuner using sound (I have a Martin 0M-1 with no pick-up). I thought that those did a fine enough job, but now that I have tuned using this, I will never go back. Seems to tune fine and I can tune it in lightening speed.
I was going to buy the Intelli IMT500, but a close review of the feedback showed that it could have a hard time with the low E and the buttons rattled while playing. This tuner does not rattle and tunes the low E with ease. Feels a little cheap (namely when pushing the buttons), but so does the Intelli. Well, it is cheap. So it is cheap, feels cheap, but works really really well.
If it dies on me, I will edit this review.
UPDATE: spoke too soon. the buttons rattle (I think it was the weather change that made this start???). Easy fix with a small strip of electric tape. Hardly noticeable.
UPDATE: After using the SNARK blue, I am changing. SNARK gives a more precise tuning. There is too much variation in what is acceptable on this one. I like the generally look and ease of folding down on this one, but when it comes down to it, what is most important is having your guitar in the best tune it can be.

Dean Markley's Artist pickup is once again a pickup which is so unique that it is patented. Housed in a maple wood housing, Artist Transducer gives you that sound that every professional artist wants. Through use of a lead differential weight the Dean Markley peizo reacts through compression rather than just bending, like all other Peizo pickups. This unique patented design gives Dean Markley's Artist Transducer its high quality sound at an afordable price. Artist Transducer's special mounting adhesive allows the Artist to be mounted and removed many, many times without hurting the finish.The Artist pickup has many other uses besides amplifying acoustic guitars. It's a great pickup for Violin, Cello, Stand-up-Bass, Banjo, Mandolin, Piano, Horn, or practically anything else you would ever want to amplify. The bottom line is: if it vibrates, the Artist Pickup will catch the vibrations. You do whatever you want with them after that.

Cremona SC-130 Premier NoviceCello, Full-Size Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cremona is a company out of China that produces this particular piece. The quality of the strings, bow, and bridge are low... But the quality of the cello body itself is quite remarkable for the money... This would be perfect for any beginner cellist. However my bow, in particular has a slight bend to it, does not effect playing too drastically... And I needed to replace the strings, as they'd screech often, and not note properly. After investing ~$80 into strings, and better rosin, my Cremona SC-130 sounds beautiful. And I'm very fulfilled with this purchase.

Cherub Intonation Trainer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product comes with the most important accessories (earbud, contact microphone) and has a very easy to understand interface. The functions are all very useful and the built in speaker is loud and very clear (volume adjustable). It has a better built in metronome than I've used on some stand alone metronome units. As for the pitch training function it was intended for, it has positives and negatives...
The pitch recognition and playback does actually work as described most of the time. However, you have to be very close to the pitch for it to play the correct pitch back, which is odd since you can see on screen that it definitely recognizes what note it hears you being closest to. So it doesn't help much more than a standard digital tuner if your intonation is significantly off (as mine sometimes is) and is best suited for fine tuning an already good sense of pitch/finger position. Another problem though is that, at least with the violin, it picks up a lot of overtones and sometimes treats those as the recognized pitch. So for instance you might be playing an open D but the tuner is playing back a high G or A to you. The speed of response in pitch recognition varies a lot. Occasionally it will respond wonderfully quick, giving you a note almost simultaneously with your attack...other times it seems to take a few seconds to respond. I'm not sure what factors are causing this for me, it could be other variables such as ambient noise, etc.
I give this 4 stars instead of 3 for the number of helpful functions this has in one unit. For the price it's actually very handy and a good value for beginner players.

This Device will help your Learn to play in tune! You play a note and you will see if you sharp or flat and when you are in tune it plays the in tune note so you can hear what the corrcet pitch sounds like.

The metronome has real voice counting this a great feature! It's nice to hear one two three four instead of click beep beep beep this feature makes it easier to hear where you are in the measure.

Ebony Cello Mute Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After my daughter returned from music camp, she said she needed a mute for her cello. I read up on them and it was suggested to try several types. This was one of the mutes we tried. This mute did not fit on the bridge. She was afraid that if she forced it, it would break her bridge. It is not flexible because it is made of wood. It is a very pretty but other than looks we find it to be worthless.

Quality adjustable clip-on backlit tuner with LCD screen, large note indicator, and back light options, so can be used in dark conditions.Extremely sensitive and accurate. Suitable for use with any music instrument including brass, woodwind, strings, guitar, bass, vocal and keyboards. This tuner has a multi colored (red, yellow and green) LCD screen to let you know if you are flat, sharp or in tune. Includes special features to save battery power. When the tuner is not in use the back light will gradually fade out leaving a normal LCD screen. The tuner will also auto power off after 3 minutes if no buttons are pushed or noise detected. Both these functions will save you money on replacing batteries. There is also a spare battery included. A very clever and practical design with a 360 degree adjustable swivel and angled face will allow you to position the LCD screen at all viewable angles. This truly is an innovative and efficient tuner taking advantage of the latest technology. Being small and compact it is very easy to carry around or keep in your instrument case.
