On-Stage Stands Deluxe Heavy Duty X 2-Tier Keyboard Stand Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This stand rocks. I've had it for two years, throwing it around in our band's trailer and it is as sturdy as always. I leave the second tier on permanently and it still folds up quick and nice. The Quick-lok system never fails and the way you squeeze the handle at the top to unlock the middle of the...

Steinway Virtual Concert Grand Standard Version Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The only thing that beats this product is actually sitting at a recently tuned quality grand in a nice room. I got so excited by this sample set that I bought a 3 pedal controller so I can feel even more like I'm playing an actual piano. I only wish this had been available in the late 1970's when I got...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I am a bassist, guitarist, and vocalist working on my own project.I did not have the money to throw into a Korg, Kurzweil, Roland, or Yamaha board. All I needed a keyboard/synth for was drum sounds and some keyboard/synth fill in. At first, this seemed like the model for me..The touch sensitivity is...

Pyle-Pro PKS30 Universal Keyboard Stand with Music Holder and Microphone Boom (Double Braced) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have my new 88 Casio keyboard on this and it works beautifully.

It is sturdy and unobtrusive.Click Here to see more reviews about: Pyle-Pro PKS30 Universal Keyboard Stand with...

M-Audio Axiom 49 Advanced 49-Key USB MIDI Controller, 2nd Gen Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This is a nice midi controller. A word of warning though if you are a Cakewalk, Sonar user.Since this is a brand new version of the Axiom 49, the software writers at Roland have not had time to write code for all the functions it provides. As a result, the Direct Link that M-audio is advertising does...

M-Audio SP-1 US65000 Sustain Pedal for Keyboards Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The M-Audio SP-1 US65000 is a sturdy and solid pedal. The case is metal, not plastic, so it'll hold up well over time. The rubber pads on the top and bottom keep it from moving around, though the pads have a tendency to come loose.The main reliability issue with the pedal is the low-cost construction...

Suzuki Cello School CD, Volume 1 & 2 - CD Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I bought this to use along with my Suzuki music book for cello. I'm an adult learning to play for the first time and thought that by hearing it played properly, I could then accurately mimic. I only give it a "3" because the piano plays so loudly over the cello that you can hear it sometimes and you...

Ion Audio iPROFILE LP to iPod DJ Conversion Turntable Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I originally thought this would work with a set of powered speakers, but it does not. It only has the old phono output plugs, so it needs to go through an amplifier. That worked fine right away, but playing through a computer USB port took days to get working. One problem I found was that I had to unplug...

Yamaha SB79 Silent Brass System for Trumpet Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This thing is great if you need to practice without bothering folks in the next room. I used this quite a bit in college. The echo effects are fun to play around with and the pickup doesn't distort tone as much as I had anticipated. This device produces a lot more back pressure than advertised; just...

Korg M50 61 Key Synthesizer Workstation Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I really cannot offer any insight as to the positives and negatives on this keyboard. When you have this level of control and power at your hands then frankly only the musician can decide if the product is worth adding to their music set up. But I do feel the best way of showing a product like this is...

One day, decades later, you wake up, and she (or he if the shoe fits) is in bed right next to you, snoring with morning breath - still cute though. That's my assessment of the CS-80V. I was a teenager in 1976 when I first...
