The Original Peg Drops by Ardsley Review

The Original Peg Drops by ArdsleyI bought the Original Peg Drops by Ardsley because I practice violin every day at
least twice a day. I wore out the pegs on my student violin with frequent change
of strings that wore out, so I felt the peg drops would be a good investment for
the care of my new orchesta violin.

What I like the best about the drops is while my new violin is "settling" there isn't
a wood on wood grinding noise while tuning, and the drops aren't like a glue.

I hope this is helpful.

Artino Cello Practice Mute Review

Artino Cello Practice Mutemy cello teacher higher recommends this mute. He said its one of the best he has come across.For me it mutes the strings evenly, clamps on the bridge securely.It just turns the volume down by half which is good because I live in an apartment.However, if I want to practice in the middle of the night, I think my neighbours can still hear me.

Commonsense Instrument Care: How to Look After Your Violin, Viola or Cello, and Bow (Strings Guide) [Paperback] Review

Commonsense Instrument Care: How to Look After Your Violin, Viola or Cello, and Bow [Paperback]I found this book to be a solid work that would be at home on any beginning string player's shelf, or even someone who has been playing for a few years. Though short, I found it to be useful, especially for someone like myself who has never played a string instrument. It explains not just how to care for your instrument, but why the things that you should do are so important. More importantly, it tells you what NOT to do. I think that anyone but the most advanced players can glean a great deal of information from this book.

The Original Dampit Cello Humidifier Review

The Original Dampit Cello HumidifierGreat way to keep my cello at a good humidity level during the dry winter months. I have had no problems with it, I just make sure I squeeze out all excess water and dry the outside very well with a paper towel. I make sure that I store the instrument in a fashion that prevents the humidifier from touching the wood on the inside to prevent any wicking of the water onto the wood. It has worked very well for me, but just don't tell my luthier.......he highly disapproves of this product......humidify the room not the instrument is his motto.
