Fender 351 Shape Pickpack (12Pk) Shell, Med

I read the reviews, but figured, I was ordering with a few other things that would be shipped together, so the little plastic clamshell of picks would be well packed with a few other small items (capo, strings) and wouldn't be stuck in a huge box. The picks were packed appropriately in a small box with my other items, but like so many other reviews it opened and the picks all came out. I was able read more..

Hearos Bulk Pack 40 Ear Filters

I've used this model earplug before, but had purchased them in a different format (i.e. bulk size, or smaller packs..). They usually worked pretty well for me..the problem I have with this batch that I ordered is that when you roll the ear plug between your fingers to compress them so that they can slide into your ear, most of the ear plugs in this batch just automatically expand back to full size read more..

Numark PT01 Portable DJ Turntable

if your looking at this to buy to play on your house stereo you will probably be disappointed this is a portable player and should be used as such. it has a very tinny sound no depth at all do not be cheap when it comes to purchasing a record player read more..

World Tour Single X Keyboard Stand

This keyboard stand is HORRIBLE! It is easily the worst thing I have every purchased on Amazon. I have owned it for 10 minutes, and it is not stable or flat, which are really the key things a stand needs to be. The allen screws strip, so you can't tighten them, but even when they were tightened the first time, it still wobbles all over the place. No product is perfect, but this one fails at the o read more..

The Instrument Store K-Style Quick-Change Capo 6-String, Black

These "type" of capo are horrible.
1. the rubber is too short to hold down all the strings down tight
2. the rubber clamp on the bottom is not enough to clamp down, the exposed metal will scratch your guitar!
3. the spring is not strong enough, you'll hear buzzing

this is probably better for an electric guitar where the neck is slimmer than a classic guitar read more..

M-Audio Keystation 61es 61-Key Keyboard

This is by far the cheapest and most full featured controller in this price range BUT it comes with a warning sticker about how you need to wash your hands after each use to avoid getting cancer or causing birth defects! Screw that.

I think this is despicable business practice and I only wish I could do more to hurt M-Audio's reputation than this. read more..

Qwik Time QT-3 Quartz Metronome

No volume control, so the loud annoying click sound makes me crazy. Threw it in the garbage and bought something else. read more..

MXL 990 Condenser Microphone with Shockmount

I was really in the market for a less expensive condenser mic. A friend had one of these at his studio and I tried it out. Iwas really terrible. Sounded awlful. Very harsh. Acoustic guitar sound hollow and harsh - not good. Vocals were really unflattering. Tried a couple of different mic pres. Still bad news. You really hardly get what you pay for with this stuff. read more..

M-Audio Audiophile 2496 MIDI Digital Recording Interface

This card used to be a nice one. I boght it four years a go (it was $300 then) and drivers used to be updated in a timely manner. Appart for the limited connection options, it did its job.

They have been selling a lot since but, despite this fact, M-Audio hasn't been motivated enough to develop Vista drivers (specially those 64 bit ones) They report having started (very late) a beta t read more..

Intellitouch PT1 Tuner

Intellitouch PT1 Tuner
This is the WORST tuner I have ever owned. It is insensitive and inaccurate - a piece of junk and a waste of money.
It is cheaply constructed and takes ages to find the note - especially on the lower guitar strings (it never even found low E on my Washburn electric!). Save your money and buy a BOSS or KORG - with a pickup if you need to tune up in a noisy environ read more..

M-Audio Fast Track Pro 4x4 Mobile USB Audio/ MIDI Interface with Preamps

At first glance I thought this was the perfect solution for my Mac Pro -- a nice little USB recording interface with SPDIF in/out and simple interface. I was completely wrong.

The drivers for this device are the worst I have ever had the displeasure to install. Under OS X 10.5.4 the SPDIF in simply does not work AT ALL. No config options are available to any software program or e read more..

Yamaha PKBX2 Double X Portable Keyboard Stand

Expected it to fit the Yamaha YPT-400 keyboard (and it is billed as such) but it doesn't even come close. The piano simply sits on top of the stand waiting to be knocked over and crash to the floor. What a disappointment and what a waste of time ordering it. How frustrating to have to pack it all back up and return it. This item should not be paired with this piano. Buyer beware! read more..

Dean Playmate 1/ 2 Size Mini Acoustic

Having been a picker and strummer of six and twelve stringed guitars for nearly 45 years, I found myself offended by the unadvertised aspects of this 'name brand' child's guitar. Nowhere in the advertising does it mention that it simply cannot be tuned to standard concert tuning (a reality quickly admitted by Dean staff when asked,) rendering it useless as a teaching instrument. It must be tuned read more..

Flute Maintenance Kit

The most important reason I needed a Flute Maintenance Kit was for the two cleaning sticks that are shown in this photo. When they were not in the package, I read the contents of the kit a little closer and learned that although the are in the center of the photo, they are not included in the kit. If I had caught that the first time I read it, I would not have purchased it. read more..

Gem Sound DJ-USB Belt-Drive USB Turntable with Bias Soundsoap SE and Audacity So

The Audacity software doesn't work. The software will not save the project as an aup or wav file file. read more..

Samson CO1U USB Condenser Mic

The microphone works through your USB port, but because of that, you can't listen to what you're doing while you're doing it. In other words, you can't set levels at all, or listen to other recordings and put this input in with them; in other words, using it to make multi-track recordings on your computer is out. read more..

M-Audio Audiophile 2496 MIDI Digital Recording Interface

I purchased this sound card in hope of getting better sound quality from my PC, after reading several favorable reviews on Amazon.

Unfortunately, I should have paid more attention to the negative comments mentioned by a few reviewers. First of all, it's true that M-Audio did not include a software driver for the card in the package. This is either sloppy or lacking any sense of cust read more..

Musicians Gear 49-Key Keyboard Gig Bag

This bag should be for 49 keys, but it just huge, I am sure it would fit a full size keyboard. I bet it the same one they use for 69 keys. It is not just too long it's too wide, and takes up a huge amount of space. The price looks good, but don't be fooled. Shipping was very expensive. Even slow shipping is like 9 dollars, and I got fast shipping for 17 dollars, but it's too big and heavy and expe read more..

Plastic Practice Chanter Reed

Pakistani-made reeds. The shoddy quality should go without saying.

Spend a little more on a good reed. Some of my favorites are Warnock, Walsh, and Apps practice reeds. If you're stronger and have a long practice chanter, try a Gibson or an Abbott reed read more..

Avalon Vt 737sp Mono Mic Pre/ Compressor/ EQ

How can you say there is a full warranty. This pice is clearly below Avalon MAP (minimum advertised price) which means you are either not an authrized Avalon dealer or won't be for long - in either case there would be no warranty on this item - am I wrong? read more..

XLNT Idea Nexis 100AP CD/ DVD Publisher

Could be a great product but unfortunately the software isn't ready yet. I would wait and not waste your money on the Nexis 100AP. I wonder where the people work who write those positive reviews :) read more..
