I think that the Yamaha FG-402 is a great beginner acoustic guitar.  As with any musical instrument, I would always suggest that you play the instrument in person to get a good "feel" for the sound and other qualities of the instrument to see if they suit your needs.I got this guitar back in 1997 or 1998, and it is a sturdy, well-made guitar that has stood the test of time. ...

Angel Glockenspiels are fun musical instruments. I had to take a couple of music classes where I had to learn how to read  music and play glockenspiels and recorders. So I bought an inexpensive glockenspiel in hopes it would help me learn music a little easier.This one looks more like a young person's musical instrument but can be used by anyone and was marketed as being for any beginn...

The Epiphone AJ-100 is the lowest priced acoustic guitar in the Epiphone line of instruments.  It is made of mahogany and has a classic dreadnought shape.  It has chrome haardware and a spruce top.There is nothing fancy about this guiatr, but it does the job.  I bought this guitar as a second acoustic to have lying around and something I don't care too much if it gets damaged...

my friend works at a local music store-spotted the kit and basically stashed the kit for me,he called and persuaded me to take a look at the drums after me putting it off for over a week, the price was a steal at £350. Needless to say I walked out of the store with the drums in tow. After changing the heads, the drums performed excellent and made me perform better. The toms cut through a ...

If you're as serious about music as I am, then you have to be just as serious about the quality of strings you choose to use on your instrument... Before finding Elixir Strings about 10 years ago, (which at the time cost me almost $30.00 ) , I would spend about $8.00 every week or so on quality Martin or Fender strings just to keep my music sounding crisp and rich... I was at a very popular...

I've been around musical instruments all my life having been raised in a family where impromptu "concerts" and get together's was the norm rather than the exception. The only thing we have more of in my family than entrepreneurs, are musicians and almost every Aunt, Uncle and cousin either plays one or more instruments and/or sings.   I grew up in a home where both my mot...

When I decided to get a small acoustic with a mahogany body, I began to check out the available models. Having played a D-28 Martin for many years, I was partial to the brand but the 00-000-18 models were more than I wanted to spend. I looked at Taylor instruments but did not care for the tonal mix. I then tried the 000-16 Martin GT and found that it had every thing I required. A balanced ton...

First of all, I would like to say sorry if this is in the wrong subcategory. I could not find any category for musical instruments, and this seemed closest.I have played the piano since I was four, so I know a bit about them! This piano is a great leaning piano, and gives an impressive grand piano likeness when played. It sounds impressive, and feels like a real piano even though it is complete...

The Fender FM 65 Frontman Combo Amplifier is a solid state amplifier with one 12 inch speaker and 65 watts.  It is black in color and has built in effects for the guitar.I purcahsed this amp because my normal amp is much too heavy to haul around.  I figured I'd get a solid state amp that I can easily haul with me whenever I want and to have a backup amp around.The amp certainly is...

I've been playing the guitar for a long time now and have been through a lot of different guitars, but I haven't been completely satisfied with anyone of them. So, I continued my journey to find "The Guitar" and came about this one. I looked at the features of it. 24 frets, 5-way pickup switch, tone and volume controls, 2 humbuckers + middle single coil pickup, AND A WAMMY BAR...

The first Act electric guitar was purchased and given to me as a gift. The guitar has a nice feel, it's a little on the heavy side, it isn't uncomfortably heavy just notable. Great playability at an amazing price. Included in the package is an instruction / owners manual an amplifier patch cord a single nylon pick, it also come pre strung with their brand of strings, I fo...

I love to play guitar and sing, and over the years I've played several different brands of guitars until I found the perfect guitar for me... The George Washburn Co. has been in business since 1876, (or at least thats what it says on the label inside mine), so I guess it just makes sence that by now they pretty much know what they are doing... I first looked at my D 10CE when it w...

I got the Pearl Forum Series Drum Set for christmas, and I have been very pleased with it. It is a perfect drumset for a beginner like me, I was a bit baffled when I first started putting it together, but it was great after I got it put together. The drum heads aren't the greatest thing, but if you tune them right, they are great.  The hardware it comes with is good, and it's fairl...

The Fender Hot Rod Deville is a 60 watt tube amplifier with two 10 inch speakers.  It has two channels, with added "brightness" on the clean channel and drive and more drive on the second channel.  The amplifies comes with a power cord and a two button foot switch.When one thinks of Fender amplifiers, they think of the clean tones they produce.  This amplifier is no exc...

IntroductionThe PODxt is another great product from Line 6 that builds on their amp modeling expertise.  I've reviewed the Line 6 Guitar port and that product is great, but the PODxt goes much further.  Like the Guitaport, the PODxt models several popular amps, stomp boxes and studio effects.  It also can be used as a digital recording device, has a built-in tuner and metrono...

I received the Casio LK90 as a Christmas gift from my wife. She knew I was big into music and wanted to pursue learning to accompany my singing with a keyboard. I have since then given up learning the keyboard because of time constraints, but the Casio LK90 has turned into a major force of entertainment in my house because of the many features and fun my kids have with it.First off, there are m...

Vandoren is a big name in reeds for all woodwind instruments. A reed is the piece of wood (cane, there are some plastic reeds on the market) you mount on a woodwind instrument mouthpiece with a ligature.  The reed vibrates in the air expelled to produce sound.There are many manufactures of reeds.  Vandoren is the one heard by most parents because it is the most promoted reed/mouthpiec...

I got these DW 7000 double bass pedals for Christmas, and they are AMAZING! They are more fluid than most double bass pedals, and by that I mean that it is easy to push the pedals down quickly and in a rythm to get that new metal sounds all of the bands are playing these days.  It is easy to make the "machine gun" sound with them because they are constructed very well.  I ha...

Most Beatles fans will recognize this black and white Rickenbacker guitar from the early days of the Fab Four. I joined a band when I was 16, and I needed an electric guitar to play onstage. I'd had my acoustic for almost three years and it was time to upgrade. My favorite band was the Beatles, and it was easy for me to decide what kind of guitar I wanted. It was 1998 when I bought this gu...
