Akai Professional EWI 5000 - " An extremely versatile professional sounding piece of kit . . . However . . . ."
The Ewi 5000 is an extremely versatile professional sounding piece of kit and can be used at any level despite the price tag which is fairly modest. It gets four stars because of the poorly documented manual information. In my opinion it does not hav…
Roland EP-85 - "Amazing!!! "
I'm a novice and I can barely play the piano but the Roland EP-85 is one of the most realistic sounding pianos I have ever heard. It comes with two head phone jacks and integrated speakers. If you get a chance to test this piano in person, plug som…
Gretsch G9480 “Laydie Belle” Irish Tenor Banjo - "Worth seeking out, production run was too short"
I tried one of these a couple of times during my search for the ideal, practical tenor banjo. This was a much more refined instrument than its competition, the Deering Goodtime tenor (which lacks either a trussrod or a fingerboard, frets are set dire…
Lounsberry Pedals Tall & Fat - "Add Richness and Depth to Your Amp/Overdrive"
SOUND: If you refer to the demo accompanying this review, it opens with a short digital organ segment, since the Tall & Fat was designed originally for that purpose and to make a digital organ sound analog. The outcome certainly is ‘rich’ and overfl…
Roland RD-2000 - "It's a Stage General, a Performance Powerhouse, Also Fantastic for the Studio"
First, let me correct something here. The RD 2000 has 8 independent zones (which means, you can play up to 8 patches/sounds at a time, and adjust each of them independently). But you can combine even more than 8 at a time with a DAW of course. It d…
Kawai KG2E - "Very stable, well made"
My Kawai KG3E was made in 1990. I traded in my Kawai KG1E for this piano along with a cash differential to move from a 5' 4" instrument to a 6' 1" instrument. First, I live in a large city and visited many new and used piano dealers in the area and s…
Rozini Brazilian Cavaquinho Estudent - "Real Brazilian student Cavaco"
The Cavaco itself has a much thinner more Mandolin type neck than my other Cavaquinhos but the body is much bigger. The Soundboard is pine with that lovely pine lumber yard smell. With the steel strings and the narrow neck I find it much harder to pl…
Harley Benton Kahuna CLU-36t - "Attractive and different for a wood body single cone resonator Ukulele"
It's VERY light for a resonator Ukulele, and quite small for a Tenor with a 42cm scale length, but it does have a very chunky neck and feels very solidly and nicely made. Its quite quiet for a resonator too, I think some spruce tops could match it fo…
Stagg Safari Ukulele - "a good first Ukulele if you like the animals pictured"
It has a nato neck and a basswood body and, apart from the bold graphics is the standard budget fair. What I particularly like about mine though is the bright green saddle, nut and tuning buttons. (In case you are wondering about the Eyes, it is a la…
Stagg EUK S - "If you need a "Strat" Ukulele..."
They are Concert size and come in either Black or Sunburst, (I got the Black one). They have active under saddle pickups, volume, bass and treble slider controls a quarter inch main jacksocker on the side and a 3.5mm input and output jack socket on t…
