The pitch and range are detected quickly and  accurately. You can use the built-in high-sensitivity microphone to  detect the pitch of an acoustic instrument without the need for any  other equipment. Alternatively, you can use the separately sold CM-100  contact microphone to send the vibration of the instrument directly to  the tuner, so that you can tune accurately without worrying about other  sounds in the environment. An output jack (bypass) has been added to  this digital tuner, making it easy to check the tuning even while you  perform.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conveniently thin and compact&lt;/strong&gt;  The pocket-sized CA-40 features a refined design with a stand on the  back that lets you place this digital tuner on any surface.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Large, high-precision LCD meter&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  CA-40&#39;s display has been enlarged for even clearer visibility. In  addition to providing both the accuracy of an LCD and the easy viewing  of a needle-style meter, red and green LEDs are also provided to  indicate pitch deviations, making tuning smooth and easy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sound Out function&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  addition to letting you tune visually using the meter, this digital  tuner provides a Sound Out function that plays a reference tone through  the internal speaker, allowing you to tune by ear. You can adjust the  reference tone in semitone steps over a range of C4 through C5 (one  octave) to accommodate a variety of instruments. Since the reference  tone you specify is remembered, it&#39;s easy to sound it again whenever you  need to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adjustable Calibration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  Calibration function of this hand held tuner lets you adjust the pitch  in 1 Hz steps over a range of 410 - 480 Hz in order to accommodate a  variety of concert pitches, giving you the flexibility to tune  accurately to any song or key. There&#39;s also a memory backup function  that preserves the Calibration setting and Sound Out settings even when  you turn off the power.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Auto Power Off function&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  power of this digital tuner will turn off automatically if the unit is  left powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any operation,  avoiding unnecessary battery consumption.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Approximately 85 hours of continuous use&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  CA-40 is designed for long battery life, and allows approximately 85  hours of continuous use (continuous A4 input, Meter mode, zinc-carbon  batteries).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;* Even if a sound is within the  detectable pitch range, detection may be unsuccessful for instrumental  sounds that contain a large number of overtones or decay rapidly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;** The calibration setting and the Sound  Out reference pitch are remembered even when you turn off the power.  However, when you replace the batteries, these settings will be  initialized to the default values; the calibration will return to 440  Hz, and the Sound Out reference pitch will return to A.&lt;a href=&quot;http://guitarstuner.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;See more ....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EE8YPK?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B000EE8YPK&quot;&gt;Korg CA-40 Large Display Auto Chromatic Tuner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B000EE8YPK&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=13&amp;amp;l=ur1&amp;amp;category=instruments&amp;amp;banner=16W15R4P8DY137HCG202&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none;&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/feeds/1724688128324629708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/korg-ca-40-large-display-auto-chromatic.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/1724688128324629708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/1724688128324629708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/korg-ca-40-large-display-auto-chromatic.html' title='Korg CA-40 Large Display Auto Chromatic Tuner'/><author><name>forspili</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16133147282533754264</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS8jVK1ZdVXJH8nppnjBKLFW-dostJYFRgpt5TB6v3hwPsHsK3VHP2t7JWboNqQezG-WWS3sHKcSzyywImIZFV1v75a98AOnjJf-c08h0u3mGYvGnNhb4OfVh3iY07uDKoeaucjMM49YXd/s72-c/Korg+CA-40+Large+Display+Auto+Chromatic+Tuner.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564761545134796624.post-8205792853563014127</id><published>2010-09-15T04:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-15T04:52:45.564-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Microphone Pop Filter"/><title type='text'>Nady MPF-6 6-Inch Clamp On Microphone Pop Filter</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8bxay2ElSod9uW0-m7FmX0obsGGECUdnwBTdOjOgP__YVWf8HBDA59MVRABP1Jfxt_pIiro45IMub-oiaa_m1pCE1EWYhEZ2ho1gUDZL_GTxEtBIsXM_Sb1vqqy2vRDYbqsUivXkAI-Ml/s1600/Nady+MPF-6+6-Inch+Clamp+On+Microphone+Pop+Filter.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8bxay2ElSod9uW0-m7FmX0obsGGECUdnwBTdOjOgP__YVWf8HBDA59MVRABP1Jfxt_pIiro45IMub-oiaa_m1pCE1EWYhEZ2ho1gUDZL_GTxEtBIsXM_Sb1vqqy2vRDYbqsUivXkAI-Ml/s320/Nady+MPF-6+6-Inch+Clamp+On+Microphone+Pop+Filter.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517106772923295698&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nady Systems has been designing, manufacturing, and marketing wireless  microphones since 1976.

I have gone through probably 9 or 10 pairs and I have no  problem spending a few extra bucks to get these sticks.  You can totally  tell the difference, I know it sounds weird but these sticks are just  overall smooth.      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin-left: -5px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;         &lt;b&gt;AWESOME!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;The Sticks really feel great. They are a stick of the future. These are  great for any drummer; Beginer,Intermediate,or Professional.  I would  definately recommend theses sticks for concert percussion and even drum  sets. Take my word, THEY ARE AWESOME. You can&#39;t even feel a vibration,  at all!      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Good preventative medicine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Our daughter&#39;s percussion instructor recommended these anti-vibe sticks  to keep potential wrist damage to a minimum as the years go by.  We&#39;ve  been very happy with them.  They&#39;re made with the quality you&#39;d expect  from a Zildjian product.  These were shipped pretty quickly, also.      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B0002F5FFS&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=13&amp;amp;l=ur1&amp;amp;category=instruments&amp;amp;banner=16W15R4P8DY137HCG202&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none;&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/feeds/5863267274817487117/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/zildjian-5awa-5a-wood-anti-vibe.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/5863267274817487117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/5863267274817487117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/zildjian-5awa-5a-wood-anti-vibe.html' title='Zildjian 5AWA 5a Wood Anti-Vibe Drumsticks'/><author><name>forspili</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16133147282533754264</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2R3lFV-FQ2LCm-hMW9pretZf599CH7hcoR2APmNqI_L7Dgbw2ftMYmOTvvfclaoxNy0w_muq-m1BDMG5NPGj-IcCtTdrM9582hbIq3jYAR-KbBuV5cpQC1QIXLd-tRhhh39c5sVnCUzgF/s72-c/Zildjian+5AWA+5a+Wood+Anti-Vibe+Drumsticks.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564761545134796624.post-5469949910510572496</id><published>2010-09-15T04:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T03:41:09.335-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Electronic Drumset"/><title type='text'>Alesis DM6 Kit Performance Electronic Drumset</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPvwOI_S2ZQj6DH3RdyXhjO-ofbCZQDgwnZHply8V3siJ1b4Whw6pdloI5zsBxwo4xsRfEGVvRpvuLA0B_SSsz3m-zbDSEijup5nF-PuyBa478Ux2OvysExAY4gRhO-RXxUwJ8Qw3JmKs6/s1600/Alesis+DM6+Kit+Performance+Electronic+Drumset.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPvwOI_S2ZQj6DH3RdyXhjO-ofbCZQDgwnZHply8V3siJ1b4Whw6pdloI5zsBxwo4xsRfEGVvRpvuLA0B_SSsz3m-zbDSEijup5nF-PuyBa478Ux2OvysExAY4gRhO-RXxUwJ8Qw3JmKs6/s320/Alesis+DM6+Kit+Performance+Electronic+Drumset.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517095395445269810&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002C4SM5W?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B002C4SM5W&quot;&gt;Alesis DM6 Kit Performance Electronic Drumset&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B002C4SM5W&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The perfect choice for aspiring drummers everywhere.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;The  Alesis DM6 USB Kit highlights the best of Alesis&#39; 20 years of  experience in professional electronic percussion gear. This electronic  drum set features a completely new sound module with 108 quality drum,  cymbal, and percussion sounds. Its pads feel great and its hardware and  rack system are high quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;UNMISTAKABLE ALESIS FEEL&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like  all Alesis drum sets, the DM6 USB Kit features realistic,  natural-feeling playing surfaces. To reduce vibration feedback, we  selected natural rubber drum and cymbal surfaces for the DM6 USB Kit&#39;s  pads. This five-piece kit gets you started on a dual-zone snare pad for  two-sound compatibility. You can dial in a snare drum sound in the  center and a rim click, rimshot, or something totally different like a  cowbell on the rim!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The DM6 USB Kit also comes with three tom  pads, an upright kick drum pad, hi-hat, crash, and ride cymbal pads. It  even comes with an Alesis bass drum pedal and the kick pad is compatible  with any single or double bass drum pedal for your personal feel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;OUTSTANDING SOUND&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  DM6 module features an internal collection of top-notch drum, cymbal,  and percussion sounds that will blow you away. You can edit and save  your drum kits for custom sounds. You get 10 presets and 5 custom slots.  In addition to the sounds in the DM6 module, there&#39;s a USB output that  sends the notes you play out as MIDI signal, so you can use the DM6 as a  trigger-to-MIDI interface with drum-module software such as BFD,  Toontrack, or Reason for a limitless collection of sounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  DM6 has headphone and amplifier outputs so you can play quietly in  phones or connect up and rock out. You can also connect your iPod or CD  player and mix it in with the DM6&#39;s stereo input jack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PRACTICE TOOLS&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The  DM6 module has a metronome, an essential tool for keeping steady time  whether you&#39;re practicing alone or with a band. The DM6 also has a  built-in sequencer with 40 preset music tracks for play along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;RUGGED HARDWARE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A  drumset is only as strong as its weakest link. The DM6 USB Kit mounts  on a heavy-duty aluminum rack. The standard 1 1/2&quot; tubing enables you to  add on with Alesis and other brands&#39; clamps and mounts. The kit also  comes with a full set of mounting hardware and cables, as well as rugged  kick drum and hi-hat pedals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=as1&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;f=ifr&amp;amp;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&amp;amp;asins=B002C4SM5W&quot; style=&quot;width: 120px; height: 240px;&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Customer Reviews ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Best Drumset EVER&lt;/b&gt; !!!&lt;br /&gt;I&#39;ve had my Alesis DM6 drumset up and running for a couple days and I  must say I am pleasantly surprised.  Up until now any electronic drumset  in the $500 range was nothing more than a toy.  Because I know that  Alesis knows how to make great electronic drumsets I was hoping that  their experience making higher end kits would trickle down to this brand  new DM6 line.  It did.  This drumset is fabulous when you consider the  price point and, in fact, has no real competition that I could find.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: &lt;br /&gt;- Everything is included.  I&#39;ve looked at a lot of drumsets and many  don&#39;t include everything you need like bass drum pedals and more.  This  has everything you need to play right our of the box, even a pair of  drum sticks.  OK, a couple things not included you will need and that&#39;s a  set of headphones and a throne (chair) to sit on.  &lt;br /&gt;- Sturdy, well made components. The natural rubber drum heads are  quiet but have a very good feel and rebound to them.  The rubber cymbals  are not as quiet as the drum heads but do what they are supposed to do  very nicely.  All metal hi-hat and bass pedals. Wide diameter aluminum  frame rails and compoents.&lt;br /&gt;- Very realistic sounding drum samples.  &lt;br /&gt;- Dual zone snare.  You can make the snare sound like a rimshot when  you hit the rim.  Or program it for a cowbell when you play &quot;Don&#39;t Fear  the Reaper&quot;. Or make it sound like any of the other drum sounds  included.&lt;br /&gt;- Ability to interface with your computer via USB.  This opens up a  world of options including MIDI and recording your performances on your  favorite recording software.  I don&#39;t know of any sub $500 kit of this  quality that does that.&lt;br /&gt;- MY FAVORITE THING is I just plug in my iPod into the DM6 module and I can play right along to my favorite songs. &lt;br /&gt;- You can buy an ION Drum Rocker module (I was able to get one on  eBay, not sold by Alesis) and use this kit for your Rockband drumset.   You&#39;ll need 8 new cables too, so while there is extra expense, it&#39;s  possible&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin-left: -5px;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;         &lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drum on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I recently bought this set and I LOVE IT.  In the past I&#39;ve had a  full-size Tama set and another set as well.  I also had a Roland TDK-7  that I could never get adjusted to suit me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This kit, however, is so much better and more responsive than the  Roland set.  The rack was very easy to setup, and my only gripe would be  that it would have been nice if the connecting cables had been a bit  longer.  I was nervous with the standard setup that had the control  module between the toms.  Even though it sets back a bit, I had visions  of whomping on it and decided to make some adjustments.  I put the clamp  for the crash symbol on the back bar instead of the left side bar, and  moved the clamp for the module to the left side bar.  That put it  totally out of harm&#39;s way, however, it was a stretch for the &#39;floor tom&#39;  cable to reach the pad, but with a little adjustment it got there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything you need is in the box except for a seat.  The rack is  there, all the electronics and cables are there, and even the drum  sticks are included.  Updates to the module can be done from your  computer after downloading them from Alesis; you will need a USB cable  to do that (not included, but a standard easily found cable).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pads have a strange &#39;sticky&#39; feel to them but they have a nice  natural-feeling bounce and are fun to play.  The symbols look and react  like metal cymbals and the sound is very realistic.  The pad used for  the snare is a dual function pad, with the rim of the pad being slightly  raised and producing a different sound.  In the standard kit it sounds  like the &#39;rim shot&#39; that you would expect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others have made observations about the pedals creeping, but I&#39;m not  having that issue.  I have an area rug with a rubber back that is on a  laminate floor with the drums on the rug; no creeping so far.  The  pedals are very responsive and the adjustments for the pads are great.  I  was up and running very quickly.  I do agree that several of the  pre-programmed kits sound a whole lot alike and it would have been nice  to get more variety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read about some issues with the snare missing some hits and the  ride cymbal going to the bell a little too quickly and downloaded the  recommended software update.  Although that went well, the instructions  had a few omissions and a couple of errors that I reported to Alesis.   For your average computer-savvy person, it would not be a huge problem  and I was able to figure it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Perfect gift for aspiring percussionists&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;My 8-year-old daughter told me she wanted a set of drums for Christmas. I  instantly knew that they had to be electronic to maintain the peace. I  also knew that I couldn&#39;t justify spending more than $500 on a kit. So,  the search began. I came away with the understanding that the DM6 is the  best value out there, but that Alesis was still working out some bugs. I  also read that a firmware upgrade purportedly fixes the known bugs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to go with the DM6, and I am very pleased that I did. The  build quality is great. Like other reviewers, I noticed some quirks  (like missed hits). I already knew that I might need to update the  firmware, so I did and the quirks went away. All you need is a computer  (Windows) with a USB cable. The instructions for upgrading the firmware  are not as clear as I would like, but it was fairly straight forward.  You might want some help from a friend if you have never done this  before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sound is incredibly realistic. There are certainly better drum  kits out there, but none come close to the value of the DM6! If you or a  child want to explore the world of percussion, then get the DM6. It  should have a decent resale value should your interest wane, or if you  outgrow it. When my daughter plays it with headphones on, all I hear is  the pitter-patter of the rubber pads---SUCCESS!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should also note that the pedals are designed to be used on  carpet. Velcro lets the pedals stick to the carpet. The pedals will  scratch wood floors unless you place a mat (like I did) underneath. It  needs to be big enough so the throne (stool) is also on top the mat, so  the pedals (and mat) do not walk away as you play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=13&amp;amp;l=ur1&amp;amp;category=instruments&amp;amp;banner=16W15R4P8DY137HCG202&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none;&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/feeds/5469949910510572496/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/alesis-dm6-kit-performance-electronic.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/5469949910510572496'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/5469949910510572496'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/alesis-dm6-kit-performance-electronic.html' title='Alesis DM6 Kit Performance Electronic Drumset'/><author><name>forspili</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16133147282533754264</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPvwOI_S2ZQj6DH3RdyXhjO-ofbCZQDgwnZHply8V3siJ1b4Whw6pdloI5zsBxwo4xsRfEGVvRpvuLA0B_SSsz3m-zbDSEijup5nF-PuyBa478Ux2OvysExAY4gRhO-RXxUwJ8Qw3JmKs6/s72-c/Alesis+DM6+Kit+Performance+Electronic+Drumset.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564761545134796624.post-6207662130409507758</id><published>2010-09-15T03:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T03:11:04.166-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Acoustic Guitar"/><title type='text'>Yamaha Gigmaker Standard Acoustic Guitar Package</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6wbfO3DxkBSI7XuzELFN-wSCFFJon-CUfBzpFHbYczGcNOtjoTRX8Zawiagvmi6N4Y39MGnSRSuSA1pmrdFSNWjEDzdwQbdCt-VgYQo795WpwOsCz68Gh6zd67kTpETpNTQmI-Cm8GG8c/s1600/Yamaha+Gigmaker+Standard+Acoustic+Guitar+Package.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6wbfO3DxkBSI7XuzELFN-wSCFFJon-CUfBzpFHbYczGcNOtjoTRX8Zawiagvmi6N4Y39MGnSRSuSA1pmrdFSNWjEDzdwQbdCt-VgYQo795WpwOsCz68Gh6zd67kTpETpNTQmI-Cm8GG8c/s320/Yamaha+Gigmaker+Standard+Acoustic+Guitar+Package.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517093442667566562&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000W72MDE?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B000W72MDE&quot;&gt;Yamaha Gigmaker Standard Acoustic Guitar Package&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B000W72MDE&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Gigmaker standard is a great package that includes all the  accessories needed to start playing immediately.

I was  told about this product. After I went home I looked it up on line and  the price was much less here through Amazon. I am very happy with the  guitar so far.    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;margin-left: -5px;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;         &lt;b&gt;Great beginner accoustic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;We bought this last year for our son who wanted to learn the guitar.   Let&#39;s just say I was pleasantly pleased with the quality of this guitar  to say the least.  Great quality with great sound... not an &quot;el cheepo&quot;.   I recommend this HIGHLY to anyone wanting to buy for a beginner, or  even a amateur player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin-left: -5px;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;         &lt;b&gt;Excellent Guitar and accessories&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I purchased this item as a gift for my 16 daughter who said she wanted a  guitar.  The accessories that come with the guitar are wonderful.  You  would end up paying a whole lot more if you had to buy them extra.  She  loves the guitar.  It is great for a beginner or for someone who is  advancing.  The sound is beautiful and the quality of the guitar itself  is very high.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/feeds/6207662130409507758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/yamaha-gigmaker-standard-acoustic.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/6207662130409507758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/6207662130409507758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/yamaha-gigmaker-standard-acoustic.html' title='Yamaha Gigmaker Standard Acoustic Guitar Package'/><author><name>forspili</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16133147282533754264</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6wbfO3DxkBSI7XuzELFN-wSCFFJon-CUfBzpFHbYczGcNOtjoTRX8Zawiagvmi6N4Y39MGnSRSuSA1pmrdFSNWjEDzdwQbdCt-VgYQo795WpwOsCz68Gh6zd67kTpETpNTQmI-Cm8GG8c/s72-c/Yamaha+Gigmaker+Standard+Acoustic+Guitar+Package.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564761545134796624.post-5362048311764528606</id><published>2010-09-14T02:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T03:18:24.015-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Bass Guitar"/><title type='text'>AB 43 Inch Bass Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories - Transparent Blue</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKpncrpUWpOiQhRisOk8XS9dYQiqLNtKWeQe4QDktWXvRrbikF9FNEahIemM6uhr_Zz6teQ1p9RvipnyCPL4Klr61L_QyeoC35rGM3If_GWj9DI2gG9T_ycY3K14bGTXsxMy7zG7J4Jtdt/s1600/AB+43+bASS+gUITAR.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKpncrpUWpOiQhRisOk8XS9dYQiqLNtKWeQe4QDktWXvRrbikF9FNEahIemM6uhr_Zz6teQ1p9RvipnyCPL4Klr61L_QyeoC35rGM3If_GWj9DI2gG9T_ycY3K14bGTXsxMy7zG7J4Jtdt/s320/AB+43+bASS+gUITAR.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516695959510254050&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007PRNFI?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B0007PRNFI&quot;&gt;AB 43 Inch Bass Guitar with Carrying Bag and Accessories - Transparent Blue&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B0007PRNFI&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Electric Bass is ideal for musicians of any age!

So  why should you be?  After all, there is no pick that will make you play  better and they are all generally the same.&lt;br /&gt;WRONG.  I thought that too at first.  I figured it&#39;s just a piece of  plastic, how hard can it be to pick one?  I started out with fender  pick because they looked pretty conventional and they were moderately  priced.  I blindly went through about ten of these due to them all  breaking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you knew me well you&#39;d know that I thrash my guitar...a lot...   Even the thickest picks would wear down on me within a week, and most of  them were too slick to stay in my sweaty hand during these crash and  burn guitar playing moments.  I came to realize that I needed a heavy  duty pick with a good grip that would retain it&#39;s shape for at least a  couple of weeks.  &lt;br /&gt;At first I thought metal was the answer.  I mean, it&#39;s hard as rock  and most of them come with a good grip on them.  But after playing with  them I discovered the sound was not to my liking.  It sounded too buzzy  with metal.  That&#39;s about the time I discovered tortex picks.  I was  amazed.  They had the best grip I have ever felt and kept their shape  for weeks!  I instantly bought every size I could get all the way from  the thinnest read to the bulky blue one.&lt;br /&gt;Months later I&#39;m keeping a stock of these picks in my house.  For  solos I prefer the green one because it&#39;s got just the right resistance  for that fast picking but not too much so that it slows you down.  For  strumming I use the orange.  It&#39;s just perfect... I cannot express to you how much you need to try this pick.  Your  wasting your money on anything other than Dunlop.  Get the tortex and  see what I mean!      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Good picks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I love these. Nice matte surface for gripping. They never break, and it takes me months to wear one down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;margin-left: -5px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;         &lt;b&gt;My new Favorites&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Like other beginner guitarist, I thought a thinner pick meant better speed and playing. WRONG. &lt;br /&gt;I ordered these based on the majority of five star reviews and was  not disappointed at all. I love them. My speed has gone up and the  guitar just sounds better. &lt;br /&gt;Unlike others I didn&#39;t have a problem with the shipping. All the  picks arrived in the original package though the box was still  unnecessarily large. Concerning the ink bleeding problem other reviewers  had, I haven&#39;t noticed anything like it. The ink just slowly fades over  time thought I will admit I never put them in my mouth so I&#39;m not sure  how that factors... Just don&#39;t eat them.&lt;br /&gt;Also they are durable as heck. Used the same pick for a month and  the only difference is it loses the slightly powdered green it comes in  and turns a shade darker.  Overall very happy with them and would  recommend the picks to anyone and everyone.      &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=13&amp;amp;l=ur1&amp;amp;category=instruments&amp;amp;banner=16W15R4P8DY137HCG202&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none;&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/feeds/764827122730476086/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/dunlop-standard-tortex-picks-12-pack.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/764827122730476086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/764827122730476086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/dunlop-standard-tortex-picks-12-pack.html' title='Dunlop Standard Tortex Picks, 12 Pack, Green, .88mm'/><author><name>forspili</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16133147282533754264</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiZzWqNifhBGwstR_q0Y4W3CYDEcVacLoHn1cv8dqBKANVAvWi4Vt0bQFzVHK2RrkMVmu2Q12s1dJi8oMDGDOIjTyX774J7uWRizZrbSlEbtH8e66L2zo3VYE_BxsZuZ0L3UqqZcM4ZWLQ/s72-c/pisk.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564761545134796624.post-3634880239995181680</id><published>2010-09-11T08:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T03:45:34.408-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Gibson Electric Guitars"/><title type='text'>Gibson ES-335  Electric Guitar</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK5fa0Gxgssl62QViGUoroQbVting3UYdXuFlRycJ7ekD6Qc71lOg8dPNGYu4fsCvV-ENok4qKeYQNlBsKy1AZTzPNFQBBJ-cpVaR6wmfh09SDXip3MWETZ3wSqJSXtMuXxAyEaAq50rXu/s1600/gibson+335.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK5fa0Gxgssl62QViGUoroQbVting3UYdXuFlRycJ7ekD6Qc71lOg8dPNGYu4fsCvV-ENok4qKeYQNlBsKy1AZTzPNFQBBJ-cpVaR6wmfh09SDXip3MWETZ3wSqJSXtMuXxAyEaAq50rXu/s320/gibson+335.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515676807717483474&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26x%3D16%26ref_%3Dnb_sb_noss%26y%3D19%26field-keywords%3Dgibson%2520es-335%26url%3Dnode%253D11971381&amp;amp;tag=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&quot;&gt;Gibson ES-335&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;l=ur2&amp;amp;o=1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gibson has always been a guitar maker steeped in tradition. So, after  revolutionizing the guitar world with the solidbody Les Paul model in  the 1950s, Gibson made a bold return to its roots by offering an  electric guitar that encompassed the benefits of a solidbody guitar, but  in the image of an acoustic archtop. The result was the ES-335, which  was first released in 1958, but would eventually reach its most  desirable form one year later in 1959. Now, 50 years after reaching this  zenith in semi-acoustic guitar design, Gibson Custom is proud to  reintroduce one of the most celebrated guitars in its history, the 1959  ES-335 Dot Reissue. This limited production model from Gibson Custom  captures this desirable classic in greater detail than any  “reissue”-style guitar previously produced. It is truly an instrument  born in the image of its inspiration. Starting with the traditional  plain laminated maple top, back and sides, with single-ply crème binding  on both the top and back, the 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue is true to the  original’s ’59 specs in almost every detail. Its one-piece, 24-¾ inch  scale length mahogany neck features a long tenon, a 22-fret rosewood  fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays and a rounded ’59 neck profile. In  addition to its period-correct look, the 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue  recreates the legendary tone of the original model by utilizing a pair  of Gibson’s renowned ’57 Classic humbucking pickups, which is the  closest thing to original “PAF” pickups on the market today.  High-quality CTS volume and tone potentiometers with “bumble bee”  capacitors offer a fundamental electronics package, thus insuring the  guitar’s unique tone is captured and delivered with the utmost accuracy  and originality. Other traditional appointments include vintage tulip  tuners, a holly headstock veneer and all nickel hardware, including an  ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece. The 1959 ES-335  Dot Reissue is available in Antique Vintage Sunburst or Antique Natural  finishes, in either standard gloss or V.O.S. treatments. Each guitar  comes with a custom shop reissue case, certificate of authenticity and  is strictly limited to just 250 guitars per finish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=13&amp;amp;l=ur1&amp;amp;category=instruments&amp;amp;banner=16W15R4P8DY137HCG202&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none;&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/feeds/3634880239995181680/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/gibson-es-335-dot-archtop-electric.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/3634880239995181680'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/3634880239995181680'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/gibson-es-335-dot-archtop-electric.html' title='Gibson ES-335  Electric Guitar'/><author><name>forspili</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16133147282533754264</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK5fa0Gxgssl62QViGUoroQbVting3UYdXuFlRycJ7ekD6Qc71lOg8dPNGYu4fsCvV-ENok4qKeYQNlBsKy1AZTzPNFQBBJ-cpVaR6wmfh09SDXip3MWETZ3wSqJSXtMuXxAyEaAq50rXu/s72-c/gibson+335.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564761545134796624.post-5439305050965819762</id><published>2010-09-11T08:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-14T01:58:13.042-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Gibson Electric Guitars"/><title type='text'>Gibson ES-137 Classic Electric Guitar, Tri Burst</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyphenhyphenPFy3HIY3g96ke4kveBIW7B78dOxJIUDKAfsOf_Xow2Jxtg-TersAxEDjxUawt4cfB4Hh-oGl54ncryvU3bIbCHXc2Tq5_gQhGcGK3T8swRr-X4B0g34ZyOvfs_hanZ-98Ukt0ceKgeF/s1600/Gison+137.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 300px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyphenhyphenPFy3HIY3g96ke4kveBIW7B78dOxJIUDKAfsOf_Xow2Jxtg-TersAxEDjxUawt4cfB4Hh-oGl54ncryvU3bIbCHXc2Tq5_gQhGcGK3T8swRr-X4B0g34ZyOvfs_hanZ-98Ukt0ceKgeF/s320/Gison+137.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515675254030123138&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gibson ES-137 Classic at a Glance:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Semi-hollowbody design with curly maple laminated top, back and sides in Tri Burst finish with multi-ply binding&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Chunky &#39;59 profile mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, pearloid trapezoid inlays and engraved &quot;C&quot; at 12th fret&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Two hot humbuckers - 490R (neck) and 498T (bridge)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Very Special New Gibson&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can  you say, &quot;Instant classic?&quot; Certainly the critics are unanimous of  their praise for this instrument, with its wide array of tones, as well  as the handsome lines which evoke those great old Gibson archtops, but  this time in a thinner, semi-hollowbody design. It still keeps the  traditional f-holes, but thanks to the thinline design, feedback is kept  under control. The modern humbuckers can go from dark and smoky to  full-out snarl, all depending upon your choice of amplification or  outboard gear. The Tri Burst finish is decidedly 21st Century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Not Too Fat, Not Too Thin&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No,  we&#39;re not talking about the latest fad diet, we&#39;re talking about the  1959 ES-137&#39;s neck profile. It&#39;s not as big as those huge 1958 Les Paul  necks, but neither is it as thin as the 1960s so-called &quot;slim taper&quot;  neck profiles. In any case, the combination of a nice, rounded  three-piece maple neck and the warmth of a rosewood fingerboard is what  the ES-137 Classic is all about. It&#39;s not for everyone, of course.  Today&#39;s shredders will want a thinner neck, but the ES-137 is hardly a  guitar they&#39;d be looking at anyhow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Two Smoking Hot Humbuckers On Board&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today&#39;s  humbuckers truly have it all: Complex midrange, punchy lows and a  smooth top end that won&#39;t make your teeth hurt. For those seeking the  often overused &quot;out-of-phase&quot; session sound which ruled the airwaves  back in the 1980s, you won&#39;t find it here. If you&#39;re looking for a  pickup that starts out clean and can really smoke when your amp is on  11, well then, this might be your next guitar!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gibson ES-137 Classic Features:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Color: Tri Burst Burst&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Top: Maple / poplar / maple&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Back: Maple / poplar / maple&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sides: Maple / poplar / maple&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Neck: Three-piece maple with &#39;59 rounded profile&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fingerboard: Rosewood with pearloid trapezoid inlays&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Number of frets: 22&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pickups: Two humbuckers - 490R (neck) and 498T (bridge)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Controls: Two each tone and volume with three-way pickup selector switch&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Machine heads: Grover Keystone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hardware: Chrome plated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Case: Black smooth levant hardshell&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gibson: Don&#39;t Mess with a Good Thing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gibson  guitars have been around for well over a century. When guitarists are  looking for an outstanding combination of superb tone and playability  along with great looks and gorgeous finishes, the choice for most of  those 100 plus years has been Gibson. From their amazing collection of  fine acoustics to the electric guitars that literally rewrote music  history, Gibson guitars have been on almost every chart-topping album  from artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream and Led  Zeppelin. These &quot;first call&quot; instruments also cross an enormous array of  diverse styles, from folk and country to blues and hard rock. With that  resume, it&#39;s not surprising that so many of Gibson&#39;s best-selling  instruments have changed little over the decades. Because there&#39;s just  no sense in messing with a good thing!&lt;span class=&quot;SDColB&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;             &lt;/span&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;               &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002GYDVO?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=390957&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B0002GYDVO&quot;&gt;Gibson ES-137 Classic Electric Guitar, Tri Burst&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=B0002GYDVO&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;border: medium none ! important; margin: 0px ! important;&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=musicainstr0a-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=13&amp;amp;l=ur1&amp;amp;category=instruments&amp;amp;banner=16W15R4P8DY137HCG202&amp;amp;f=ifr&quot; width=&quot;468&quot; height=&quot;60&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; style=&quot;border:none;&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/feeds/5439305050965819762/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/gibson-es-137-classic-electric-guitar.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/5439305050965819762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2564761545134796624/posts/default/5439305050965819762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://findmusicalinstruments.blogspot.com/2010/09/gibson-es-137-classic-electric-guitar.html' title='Gibson ES-137 Classic Electric Guitar, Tri Burst'/><author><name>forspili</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16133147282533754264</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyphenhyphenPFy3HIY3g96ke4kveBIW7B78dOxJIUDKAfsOf_Xow2Jxtg-TersAxEDjxUawt4cfB4Hh-oGl54ncryvU3bIbCHXc2Tq5_gQhGcGK3T8swRr-X4B0g34ZyOvfs_hanZ-98Ukt0ceKgeF/s72-c/Gison+137.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2564761545134796624.post-6864343208911442917</id><published>2010-09-10T06:37:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-04-16T12:56:18.855-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Keyboards Yamaha"/><title type='text'>Yamaha PSR-OR700 Portable Keyboard Oriental</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
