The Original Hill Peg Compound Review

Ok,so I'm no luthier...
But I didn't find this stuff to be all that helpful.So if you are an part-time ameteur trying to make the pegs on that cheap violin you bought out curiosity (yep, I bought it too)stop slipping, this won't help you much.I may try drying it out a bit like the first entry said, but I'm not taking my $50 violin to a luthier :).

Intellitouch Center Pitch 2 Review

I was very pleased with this tuner the first few weeks I had it.I loved the fact I could tune my cello by 'vibration' rather than sound, so it could be used even while other instruments were playing. But then it quit working - wouldn't even turn on.I thought the batteries were dead (although the time I had it was not long at all).So I replaced the batteries.It worked the first time I used it, but would never turn back on again after that.The batteries had to be in right, as it worked initially, so that wasn't the problem.So I cannot give a good review on the quality of this tuner at all.

Shadow SH SB1 Single Disc Transducer for Upright Bass Review

My only complaint is that the quarter inch plug is a bit challenging.At first I couldn't get my instrument cable to plug into it.After some testing and swapping I found that only two of my cables will actually click in, the others simply don't work.I assume this is an anomally with the component but it's still a pain.

The sound it pretty good when plugged into a bass amp but there tends to be a little noise when handling/touching the instrument.Backing off on the treble through the mixer eliminates that without too much fuss.

I deliberately chose the "low-end" option for amplifying my bass.I figured anything would be better than trying to use a mic on a stand and then being stuck in one place.I was right.This is much better and now I can be heard.

"Wristies" Hand Warming Practice Gloves - Original Long Length for Small Hands: Beige Review

I rarely take time to write a review.Writies are wonderful.I work as an office manager at a wedding chapel. Our office is cold in the winter (I am on the ground floor) and cold in the Summer (AC has to be cranked up to keep the upstairs cool.
I was wearing gloves to alleviate occasional bouts with arthritis, & to keep my hands warm enough to type. I was constantly removing(& misplacing)them to pin on boutonnieres, assist brides with dressing, etc.
I can wear the Wristies all day, and only have to slide them up when I wash my hands.They do a wonderful job of keeping my hands warm, flexible, and acessible for the "hands on" part of my job.
God bless the creator & supplier of Wristies!!!!!

The Original RDM Student Mini Dark Rosin in Woodframe Review

It's okay... nothing fancy.Adequate, does a good job, except not so well in really cold weather because of the lack of humidity in the air (my current problem).So, I'm getting a stickier rosin.It is definitely worth its price, although it may not be worth the cost of shipping.

Fishman V-100 Classic Series Violin Pickup Review

I agree that attaching this type of pickup is awkward at best, but the quality of the sound is excellent for a pickup at this price (you really need a high quality microphone for true sound reproduction, which has its own issues).This price is very reasonable, but if you want to spend a little more Fishman also makes a model with a clamp-on 1/4" jack that I imagine is much easier to use.

D' Addario Natural Dark Rosin Review

In the product info section it says "produces less dust". well that's not really true it produces plenty of dust. If you want rossin that won't make dust get jade rossin. Other than the whole dust thing it's pretty good stuff and the plastic grip on the outside is excellent.

"Wristies" Hand Warming Practice Gloves - Short Length for Large Hands: Black Review

There are two types of Wristies--regular and heated (which have a pocket that holds a heat packet).The description of this product as being "hand warming" led me to believe this was the "heated" type.It is NOT...and the company does not offer the heated type.The company was clearly not trying to mislead, but somebody who knew there were two types of Wristies might be confused, as I was.

Wittner 15.5" - 16.5" Viola Ultra Composite Tailpiece with 4-tuners and Nylon Tailgut Review

Beautifully made using latest high-tech materials make this tailpiece lighter than any other I have tried. This provided a small but noticable improvement in the voice of my instrument. Also it was easy to get the afterlenght just right with this part so I am pleased in all respects. Well worth the price. The only thing that could make it better and kept me from giving five stars is a minor redesign allowing a bar for the strings to rest on between the adjusters and the nut would keep the string lengths uniform and prevent minor voice changes as the fine tuners move through their range.

Still, very much worth the price and light, attractive, and good sounding. I am well pleased.

p.s. I have Wittner Ultras on my violin and cello as well and the same apply to them as the above for my viola.

The Original Bernadel Rosin Review

This rosin is a very ancient rosin. It is very light but effective. As with any rosin after you are done playing clean it off your strings and instrument. It makes your bow more.....I cant really describe it except it is great. INDESCRIBABLE! I have had mine for three years, never had a problem with it. You could find it cheaper at a local musical instrument store, but if no one has one around you then just save a dime a day in a jar. But, I am one of millions of string players. IT DEPENDS ON YOUR CLIMATE! I live in a west texas climate and it works perfectly. My cousin in Florida didnt like it, but when she moved to cleveland in the summer she used it and used it alot. So HOPE THIS HELPS! 4 stars since it depends on YOUR CLIMATE!
