Dean Edge 09 Mahogany Finish Bass (An Nice Guitar)
This is a nice bass guitar. This can become one of the alternative guitar for those who have music groups and need bass guitar. You can buy this guitar from amazon by clicking the picture above. the following is the review of this guitar:
By Jeremy York "-beanish-"
I've been learning to play bass with this model for about a year and a half, and I enjoy it thoroughly. It's lighter than some instruments, but still has enough mass that it has a good tone. The neck is maybe not as slender as some fancier, faster basses, but it's still quite comfortable. It stays in tune well, and I've never had any troubles with the knobs or electronics.
With only a single pickup, and just knobs for volume and treble, you don't have much flexibility in sound. If you're just learning or playing for fun, this isn't much of an issue. The bass sounds great for a variety of jazz, blues and rock. One person I play with thinks the tone from this bass is nicer than one of his that cost about eight times as much.
A couple of other thoughts... You'll want to find a local guitar store to help you make adjustments periodically (and perhaps with initial setup), or learn to do it yourself. I use a Behringer practice amp, and it's partially responsible for the good tone that I seem to get. Finally, I rarely use a pick - if that's more your style, the lack of a pick guard might be an issue for you.
Pulse Pro 5-Piece Shell Pack, Black (Music Instrument)
Drum is an important part of music arrangement. It is drum which makes music more beautiful. The picture above is the sample of the drum you can buy in Amazon. The specification of the drums is as follows:
"Drum sizes are 22" x 16" bass, 12" x 10" and 13" x 11" toms, 16" x 16" floor tom, and 5-1/2" x 14" steel snare. Cymbals and hardware not included." Just buy this musical instrument.

Casio PX110 Privia Digital Piano
Description
CASIO PX110CS PRIVIA 88 KEY DIGITAL PIANO ZPI TRI-ELEMENT SOUND SOURCE;32-NOTE POLYPHONY; 88 REAL WEIGHTED HAMMER ACTION KEYS; 11 TONES, 20 RHYTHMS, 60 BUILT-IN TUNES,;8 DIGITAL EFFECTS, BRILLANCE, DSP and ACOUSTIC RESONANCE SYSTEM; LAYER and SPLIT, 1 SONG 2-TRACK 10,000 NOTE MEMORY;MIDI IN/OUT, BASS REFLEC SPEAKERS, DUAL HEADPHONE CONNECTIONS FOR TEACHER/STUDENT USE
Amazon.com
The Privia is the revolutionary digital piano that makes it possible for just about anyone to experience the joys of playing the piano. Stylish, compact, and priced for affordability, the Privia provides authentic piano sound and feel in your room or just about anywhere else. The new PX-110 also incorporates a Bass Reflex System that improves low frequency sounds.
Scaled Hammer Action Keyboard for authentic grand piano feel.
Lower notes play relatively heavier than higher notes, just like the keys on a grand piano. Selectable touch sensitivity even lets you configure the keyboard for a light touch that makes it possible for your fingers to really fly when they need to.
Stereo-sampled Tri-element ZPI Sound Source.
A Stereo-sampled Tri-element ZPI sound source includes separate waveforms for strong key pressure, medium key pressure and light key pressure, which accentuates the differences between the sounds produced by each. Multiple stereo-samples are also taken of tones produced by an acoustic grand, from the low range to the high range. Notes remain natural sounding and realistic from the moment a key is pressed until the note decays, providing you with sound quality that is virtually identical to that of an acoustic grand piano. 32-note polyphony helps to ensure you never lose notes due to damper pedal operation.
High-quality, versatile tone, with layer and split.
In addition to grand piano tones, the Privia also includes strings, pipe organ, and other tones. A Layer feature allows simultaneous play of two tones, and a Split feature lets you split the keyboard between two different tones.

* 32-Note Polyphonic

* 20 Rhythms
* MIDI In/Out

Yamaha NP30 Portable Grand Digital Piano
Description
The new NP-30 Portable Grand delivers Yamaha digital piano sound and simplicity in a new lightweight, compact design like nothing else you've seen... all at a price point you won't believe.
Until now, there hasn't been an affordable 76-key keyboard that weighs ONLY 12 POUNDS and can RUN ON BATTERIES!
Keyboardists who don't need all the bells and whistles of sequencers and synthesizers will be delighted with this ultra-light keyboard. There are only a few sounds (a couple pianos, harpsichord, electric piano), but for little cocktail piano, wedding or singer-songwriter gigs, often you only need a piano sound. (Yamaha is known for its authentic piano sounds.)
No more breaking your back carrying your keyboard. Now if someone could just find a way to create a light and powerful amplifier... (This keyboard also has built-in speakers, but for most performing situations you would need more volume than they provide. However, if you're just playing at home the volume is sufficient.)

- Yamaha YPT400MS Portable Electronic Keyboard with 61 Full Size Touch Sensitive Keys and Keyboard Stand
I did a lot of research before ordering this piano. Even so, I was very surprised at how much was included for this price. A WONDERFUL Yamaha digital piano with many fantastic features. The stand. The AC adapter. Even free lessons on music theory on a CD to get you started. Throw in all of the voices, sounds, songs, and ability to interface with a computer, and you have an unbelievable deal.
The only down side is that the software it comes with doesn't load on my Mac :-(, but since most things don't, I wouldn't downgrade it just for that. It interfaces with Garageband, which is the software I already use, so that's enough for me.
Oh, and talk about fun. I'm got this to practice my piano lessons at home, and the first day it came I had so much fun I went to bed with sore wrists. I kept trying out practicing my scales with different voices. I guess I'll have to "space out" my fun a little bit better in the future.

- Jasmine by Takamine S35 Acoustic Guitar, Natural
This is a nice beginner's guitar. The action is kind of high, so you will earn your calluses quickly. I bought mine from GearTree through Amazon, and it arrived quickly in great condition. However, consider buying directly from a vendor's website, because some offer free shipping when you buy directly. Then you can buy a decent case or a strap as well, and for the same price as shipping would have cost you. Also, get an inexpensive tuner as well - you will be playing the day it arrives!
- AUDIO TECHNICA ATR-35S Lavalier Microphone
I ordered this after reading the glowing reviews here, and I'm extremely glad I listened. This thing is awesome. I hooked it up immediately, fired up Audacity, and did the "Testing, testing, one two three four" thing--then listened to the playback.
The playback has no fuzz, no background hum, no flaws whatsoever. The clarity is astounding--it sounds like I was in a professional recording studio instead of hunched over my laptop. This is one excellent microphone. I don't know how to describe it; it's like the audio equivalent of HDTV.
What can I say? This thing is a jewel. If you ever think you'll need a microphone, even one to just play around with, get it. Get one before they're all gone!

- Musician's Friend Standard Celluloid Guitar Picks 1 Dozen, Black Pearl Medium
As a relative beginner to playing the guitar, I can say these are great picks for the price. You really can't beat the price and quality. I have had no problem using them for casual guitar use/practice.
However when ordering this item on amazon you are not given the option for choosing the thickeness of the pick. When ordering this same item on other websites you are given the option to choose either, "heavy, medium, light" picks, but here on amazon when I ordered I received "medium" thickness picks. For the casual guitarist I think this isn't an issue at all. For serious guitarists I think they would want to specify the thickness.

- Korg CA-30 Chromatic Tuner
This is a very fine tuner that allows you to tune any instrument, electronic or acoustical, "spot on." For the price I really didn't expect such a nice product. However, after reading about two minutes of instruction, I was accurately tuning my mandolin and guitar. It is very intuitive to use, is battery operated which makes it useful for on the road, and has has such practical features as auto turn off after non-use for 20 minutes so you don't kill your batteries should you forget to turn it off.
- Korg GA-40 Guitar Tune
I don't know how to really tune my guitar properly so I decided to buy this one because it looked good and at a cheap price compared to some of the other ones. Just pluck a string and if it's in tune the needle will point straight up and the light will be green but if the needle is to the left it's flat and if the needle goes to the right then it's sharp and a red light will appear. You can also use this to tune a 7 string guitar, a bass or acoustic guitars which is a plus because I own an electric and an acoustic guitar. It's also small and easy to carry around with you.The first time I used it on my guitars it took a little while because they were both very much out of tune but it was easy to get them in tune and now when I tune them it's easy and fast.
- KORG Digital Metronome MA-30
This is chock full of features and hands-down the best budget portable metronome on the market, with only one caveat which'll be mentioned later. A terrific buy for students.
Battery life is great, getting around 200 hours out of two AAs. The display is clear and easy to read. I've dropped it once and it didn't cause any problems. For a digital metronome, the beep isn't an irritating chirp as some other metronomes tend to be.
It can generate any tone on the chromatic scale for manual tuning, and even allows you to adjust the pitch slightly away from A440 if you need to (sometimes necessary, especially for wind players playing outdoors in the extreme cold)
It can handle 1 - 7 beats per measure, and can give you triplets, 8ths or 16th notes on top of that.
It has a handy tap feature to determine tempo.
This isn't perfect, it's not a Dr. Beat (the best metronome on the market, period). The volume control is very sensitive, and if you have it in your pocket you can easily accidentally blast your ears with headphones on. An LED would be a nice addition.
The caveat mentioned earlier is this: Most people prefer a dial to adjust tempo as opposed to the up and down buttons of this model (The Matrix MR500, MR800 and the Seiko SQ50 have less features and lack a volume control, but do have a dial and LED). Still, for the price and the features, you can't beat it.
