Advantages: Lovely dynamics
Disadvantages: could be a bit more responsive

I played this piano for the first time today, it really makes a difference when you play a grand which has more length to it, the sound is louder and clearness of each note really stands out. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this piano and would recommend it ... Read review

Advantages: Beauty and Sound
Disadvantages: None

Yamaha Alto Saxophone YS62 Silver Finish Bought new recently plays beautifully, easy top notes with clear sound, good low notes although for me the low note L.H. 5 finger will need work to get smooth transitions between notes. Quite a bright tone which ... Read review

I've owned a gold plated Schilke B3L [aka tuning bell] trumpet with beryllium bells since 1973 and wouldn't play anything else. It's a large bore, professional horn that requiress a well developed embrouchure. It is the most responsive, free blowing horn I've ever played, and I've played on a lot of different models over the years, [Bach, Benge, Conn, F. Besson, Getzen, Holton, King, LeBlanc, etc.]. It served me well as a professional as well as when I was a student at North Texas. ftr: I use a Bach 1 1/2 C mouthpiece with a "S" backbore.

Advantages: Beautiful sounding. wonderful instrument
Disadvantages: None

My Jupiter saxaphone is my Joy in life. I love it possibly more than i love my parents. Well ok maybe not to that extent but it is my favourite instrument i own (i also own flute, piano, several guitars) I payed only £350 for my stunner of a saxaphone ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap maintenance for your pads.
Disadvantages: None.

Yamaha Powder Pads What the chuff are these Paul? I hear you ask. Well, quite simply they are small sheets of paper that have a very slight dusting of powder (like talcum) on one side. Like a pad saver (brush), a crook cleaner and a mouthpiece guard ... Read review

Advantages: Build quality, appearance and tone. Excellent soft case.
Disadvantages: Very minor intonation issues in the upper register.

For the amazing price of this instrument (I paid around the £150 mark) it is an excellent horn for a player of beginner or intermediate standard. It is beautifully proportioned in the traditional saxhorn style - far more appealing to my eye than the open ... Read review

*~*~*~~Some background~~*~*~* I started learning to play Alto Saxophone in December 2006. The first saxophone that I had (still have as a spare) was a Trevor James Artemis, cost me about £350. Within 10 months I decided that I wanted something that sou ... Read review

I have played this same model Buescher cornet for 21 years that belonged to my Great Grandfather. Recently invested $800 to have it restored. Well worth having around for another 100 years. These older style Bueschers are quality instruments. Great for beginner or pro.

Bought this flute for my daughter -- the one with aspirations of college scholarships, symphonic solos and so on. The flute has great feel and even better appearance and sound. Good purchase!!

I've owned a Vin Bach and Stomvi but decided to try a Schilke and to be honest the difference was marked,for a slight increase in price I noticed that it was a real step up.I also changed my warburton mouthpiece from a 3MC to a 3D with a B9 shank and since then I have a 3 octave range going from a bottom F# to G above C it also blows a super C on occasion when I'm blowing well.It crosses Classical playing to Jazz and records beautifully and since trying a Taylor Chicago Custom to compare was glad to get back on my Shcilke as the Taylor wasn't a patch on my Schilke.

Advantages: Great price and value, top quality instrument
Disadvantages: None

I have been playing the harmonica for over thirty years. Of all the instruments I play this is the one that have done best at, probably because it is the least anti-social, most portable and most convenient. Being a lot quieter that most of my music ... Read review

Hohner is the best, although I have Lee Oskars, because they fit together. I don't get the gentleman's problem, because they're in my handbag! by S.Bate

I bought a couple of cheap "mouthies" for our girls as I felt the resultant noise would be less offensive than drums for example...can't coment on their quality as I am tone-deaf and they are only two and a half - but they certainly have lots of fun with them! Good review, Caroline xx by carcraig

Advantages: great sound, unusual
Disadvantages: more expensive than a similar standard guitar

Yes I'm back with yet another instrument from my music collection. This one isn't deafening or wind intensive, doesn't make the cats run for the hills or incur the wrath of the neighbours. Last year I got an extremely rare thing, an award from my empl ... Read review

Yes, it's true, I am reviewing another musical instrument. I was given this trombone for Christmas and I am trying to master it. So what is a trombone? There are several types of trombone but the one I have is the one that most people would recognise ... Read review

That's a good price for a musical instrument. I haven't got a trombone, I think I might get one. (Not sure why, I am no good at embouchure instruments. I tried the euphonium once and found it easier than a trombone. But still can't play either.) by S.Bate

Good review, by brereton66

I purchased my daughter a Meason reed and the very first time she used it, it cracked. The reed has a noticeable dip or flaw where it cracked. I was not aware that I needed to take the reed out at purchase and check for this. (Yes she did soak if before using it) I am searching online for a place to return the reed as the store Hot Licks will not take the reed back. So currently I am very unhappy with the Meason reed.
