The Mechanix Gloves are a very high quality and reliable pair of working gloves. I personally used them for metalworking, and I can say from experience that they are built to last. I used them daily for several months before wearing through them. They are very comfortable on the hand and have a very adjustable fit. They are padded and are made from a very gentle and pleasing material. They also...

The Yamaha Xeno 882G is an excellent trombone for advanced players. I first played the Xeno at a local music retailer, and immediately I was impressed at how smoothly it played. It yields very little back pressure, allowing very easy access to all ranges of dynamics. Unlike most other horns, it is very easy to play with highly contrasting styles of sound. It produces an extraordinarily dark and...

Dynasty's "most popular horn" is one that should be used and played with particular caution. I spent one summer marching season using an 010-M570T horn, and I must say, the overall experience was not a good one. The horn itsself produced an okay sound, for what it's worth. However, the construction was so faulty that it was difficult to manage sometimes. The microtuning slide ...

The King 1124 Bb Baritones are a pretty decent selection for marching horns. These are the model horns that I marched with in high school, and after 4 years with them, I can safely say that they are a pretty easy horn to play. They have almost no back pressure, allowing for one to easily play across high ranges of dynamics. I had no trouble achieving a good, dark, symphonic sound quality on the...

A mouthpiece is something that is difficult to rate, because it is really something that is specific to the individual player. However, if you're looking to find the right one for you, I might be able to help. The Peter Sullvian Replica Series trombone mouthpiece is a fairly narrow rimmed mouthpiece, and also is fairly deep. It is a good mouthpiece for producing that symphonic sound that tr...

Sarris Candies Milk Chocolate bars are a Pittsburgh favorite. It is an average size chocolate bar that is constructed to be broken into small squares and eaten. Any chocolate lover would tell you that the rich flavor of Sarris chocolate is hard to beat. For as cheap as the bars come, it is a very valuable chocolate experience. The bar is wrapped in a single sheet of tinfoil, which is then packa...

Tales of Symphonia for the Gamecube is an RPG set in its own fictional world. Unlike many RPGs, Tales of Symphonia does not have a truly random battle system. Instead, while navigating areas with enemies, there are individual sprites representing monsters that you can choose to dodge(or run right into!). In fact, sometimes they may even chase you! In terms of the actual battle system, it is a r...
