Advantages: Great value, great sound, weighted keys, ease of transport.
Disadvantages: None

I own a Yamaha P70. It is a full size electric piano. I bought the proper stand to go with it which is much more safe and secure than the cheaper alternatives. It has 2 Grand Piano, 2 Organs, Vibraphone, Strings and 2 Electric Piano sounds. As a portable ... Read review

I bought my YAS 23 in Dec 1981. Lasted me very well all the way up to 2005, when i had it overhauled and then it sounded and behaved brand new. Sold it to a good friend. It's a good sax. I desired a YAS 62 or upper. I got a bargain on a Selmer Serie 3. I miss Yamaha but i play a yamaha NP30 keyboard and a Yamaha digital drumset and i will buy a Sax yamaha microphone. i recommmend YAS 23 to my friends. james frankie

Yamaha YAS-23 (superceded by 25, then 275)

I have just bought a Chrometta 14 C from one of Hohner's retail outlets. I currently also possess two Super Chromonica 12 Cs. I have been playing harmonics since the last 30 years and am quite adept at it. About 20 years back, I had bought an "Orchestra Special" version of Chrometta 14. One doesn't get that now-a-days.That was a brilliant piece of instrument with great sound quality. But the present model of Chrometta 14 is pretty ordinary, it sounds hollow and leaky and for a single reed player using tongue blocking it is not at all ergonomic.

I bought my King 665 Eb Alto in 2004 and it has been a great starter saxophone. Since 2004, I have also gotten a Selmer Mark VI Super Action 80 and a Yamaha and of the 3 the King is what I take around most (I am in marching band, so it is smart to take the "worst" of the three out in the harsh conditions). The King is a perfect starter saxophone and can last through some very tough conditions. It is a very sturdy, durable horn with a good sound when you match it with the right type of reed. I highly recommend it to any beginner saxophone player or someone who wants a good marching sax!

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

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

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

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.
