Yamaha AX 500

Advantages: quality low noise reliabilty power appearance amazing clarity high end performance
Disadvantages: none for a classic amp

...Its an amp that changes the face of your listening entirely if you have been using lesser equipment..no matter what it cost. The AX 500 makes a high fidelity sound way above its considerable cost when released by yamaha..and puts all of its contemporaries in the shade. Its an imposing box, though like all of the natural sound range pulls that off with elegance. The sleek lines are very dark hi-fi and blends in nicely anywhere.Its hansome, heavyweight and shakes the foundations. How yamaha achieve such cleaness of sound,musicality and such fabulous signal to noise ratio is said to be down to the sheer precision of thier manufacturing. Their products are incredibly long lived delivering all of the original performance. They achieve this with hi-fi, much of which is now getting on over 60 years old and has cult collectable status...

Review of Yamaha AX 500

AX.. great AXE

Advantages: Great looks and sound
Disadvantages: Hard to find cases

...~Intro~ I bought my ESP AX 260 last year. I had been playing guitar for about Three years and was looking for a better quality guitar than my previous, a Crafter Strat. I had looked online and had a reasonable idea of what I wanted, and so I went down to my local guitar shop. When I got there they had a range of ESP guitars, but not the one I originally wanted. I had originally wanted an ESP F Series guitar. The guitar that they did have, and that caught my eye, was a shiny, black, ESP AX260! I tried the guitar in shop (as I recommend you do when you buy a guitar,) encase it looked great but sounded awful. It didn't. In-fact it played like a dream and sounded wonderful. BUT, that day I left the shop empty handed. I had not brought enough money with me. When I returned with enough money the guitar was sold!! I had to get the guitar...

Disadvantages: NONE?

...This Drum kit is amazing. If your a beginer or even really good this drum kit will suit you this kit is awsome if your looking for a reasonibly priced drum kit this is for you. I bought this kit about 2 years ago ive only made 3 adjustments like putting remo pinstripe skins on it and buying anew cymbal pack and buyong a mapex double bass pedal but thats what ive done this is a great kit and i would recomend this product to nearly anyone. The most affordable all-birch Yamaha drumset ever! An incredible value, the legendary tone of an all-birch Yamaha drumset is now available in the Stage Custom series. The low fundamental and warm tone of Yamaha's birch drums have been the top choice of drummers for over 30 years. The Stage Custom Birch series is great for the beginner or the working professional. The staggered diagonal seam allows us to...

Yamaha CP300 Stage PIano

Advantages: reasonable price, reasonable sound, portable, built-in amplification & speakers, USB port
Disadvantages: no music rest supplied, a few dodgy-sounding notes around D4

...Other than from an economic angle, I was never a fan of Yamaha acoustic pianos. So back in the 1980s it came as no surprise when their digital instruments failed to impress me. In my opinion Yamaha pianos sounded too 'wooden' at the top end. They had none of the 'singing' tones common to European pianos like Blüthner, Bösendorfer or Bechstein. However, after moving into an apartment in 1996 I was obliged to get a piano that took cans and chose a Technics PR900, which in my view was the nearest thing to an acoustic piano. It sounded like some of the best German pianos I had played. Early incarnations of this model had a very annoying background 'static', only noticeable when the piano was silent. By 1998 this static had been fixed by Technics. But in 1996 it was driving me so crazy that I sent the PR900 back to the store and got...

Citroen AX - One of the real hot hatches

Advantages: Ecomomy , superb performance , handling , lightweight , small , very cheap
Disadvantages: niggles mainly but if i have to , slight rust in small places and its electrics

...First of all i would like to say that these are one of the best cars out there , both for economy and performance depending upon the model purchased. I own two ax's , one is a 1.1 salsa model and the other is a 1.4 gt (carb), both models are on a g plate (1990) , the economy and drive of the one litre is fantastic , low tax , low insurance , excellent return on fuel , with the only two downsides being , long journeys are a bit of a longshot , due to its small engine capacity will struggle with the distance and constant high speeds will generate quite a bit of heat. The GT model is honestly one of the better hot hatchbacks available , it offers once again excellent fuel economy and the twin choke carb 1400 cc engine offers superb performance for its capacity due to its lightweight chassis. Another benefit of this car is the cost...

Yamaha Grizzly 125

Advantages: easy to operate, good second hand value
Disadvantages: key in wrong position

...Yamaha Grizzly 125 ATV. Firstly a bit of history to show how opinions are formed. We operate a company in Scotland offering Quad Bike Treks for anybody over the age of sixteen, in other words the bikes are used a lot and by anybody from beginners to more experienced riders. Whatever bikes we use have to be mechanically reliable and be able to withstand some abuse. Up until the beginning of this year we used the Breeze model, mostly because its small and light, not too small but still light enough that one person can lift the bike – pretty useful when you are on your own with a bogged down bike! Another reason for the choice being they are Semi-Automatic put it in forward gear push throttle and it goes, no gear changes to worry about. Anyway back to the review if you are thinking about buying a quad, you can’t go far wrong...

Yamaha PSR 3000 - A One-man Orchestra..

Advantages: A tremendous instrument for the musically minded
Disadvantages: -

...really getting hooked on the likes of Jimmy Smith (a jazz organist), so I turned my attention to the electric organ. My first instrument was a small Lowry Holiday followed by a small Hammond (great keyboard sound, but rotten base). In my twenties, I turned professional and purchased a small Yamaha with Leslie speaker - (a sort of spinning speaker inside a cabinet that produced a rich sound). Because of it's light weight for portability and reasonable prices compared to most other organs, I have stayed loyal to Yamaha ever since. I now own a HE 8 (old technology now, which I will soon be updated no doubt) and a PSR3000 - a 61-key electronic keyboard, which is the focus of this review. What I Like About The Yamaha PSR 3000 is the sound quality and a huge range of "voices" - these are synthetic sounds that even the most critical...

yamaha descant recorder

Advantages: easy to learn
Disadvantages: none

...it as a kids instrument, but I still like to play the recorder even now. You can buy a descant recorder in toy shops or from a music shop, for approx £10, this includes a begginners guide to get you started, also they come in a range of different colours. There is loads of interesting music you can play on a recorder, I remember looking at a book in the music shop and there were songs that Boyzone sang in it. They music books vary in price, (£5.00 upwards) In my opinion a Yamaha recorder is the best one to by, well thats my opinion anyway I have done this review on Dooyoo Thanks for reading...

Review of Yamaha Recorder

The Yamaha Blaster - The small contender

Advantages: Lightweight, powerful 200cc two-stroke motor, proven over time
Disadvantages: Wheel base and width cause instability in some situations.

...The Yamaha Blaster is a legend in its own right. It has been in production for many a year now and has sold in large numbers worldwide. Its success has mainly been down to the large spread of potential buyers that it caters for. Although its main target is the rookie rider, it has sufficient power to thrill most users while providing good value for money and great reliability. I have had my Blaster now for 5 years and never had to do anything other than change tyres and top up fuel and oil levels. I do as a matter of good maintenance, keep the chain and other moving parts oiled and greased, but this level of maintenance is expected on all such machines. The powerhouse of this quad is a potent, quick-revving 195cc air-cooled two-stroke engine with a six-speed gearbox and manual clutch. This enables you to keep changing gear to find...

Review of Yamaha Blaster

Citroen AX GT

Advantages: Cheap tax and cheap to run
Disadvantages: Flimsy bodywork and panels

...Just over a year ago I decided to buy my boyfriend a car. I managed to get my hands on a black J-reg Citroen AX GT with around 78000 miles. It was a bargain at only £200. I thought the car was great to start with, however my boyfriend was almost in tears the first time he saw the car. He thought it was awful and a total waste of money. The car stood for three months collecting bird droppings on the road, until one day my man decided that he did indeed like the car. My boyfriend is now besotted with “Esmeralda”, and has started the work in modifying her. Getting her through the MOT was expensive, and new tyres cost more than the actual car. The Citroen AX GT is a very good car, if you manage to get a hold of a good example. The max speed of ours is a very respectable 100+ mph, and we are sure that there is more power under...
