ViolinSmart Solid Natural Wood 1/4 Size Teachers Recommended Student Violin + Bow + Case + Rosin Complete Set

Childrens Toy Shop > Musical Instruments > Musical Instruments
from: ViolinSmart.com


I purchased this violin for my four yr old grandson. My daughter is a band teacher and wanted to teach him to play the violin. The product arrived in just a few days and was easy to tune and play. He practices on it almost every day. They are both very pleased with the product. It came complete with everything he needed. It is a very good beginner violin for a child. The price was unbeatable.

Yamaha YPG225 76-Key Portable Grand Keyboard

Childrens Toy Shop > Musical Instruments > Musical Instruments
from: Yamaha


I took 16 years of classical piano training and bought this keyboard to record accompaniments to vocal music for use in vocal training. My review consists of initial impressions on how the product measures up to my particular need:

Ease of use - as with other all-in-one electronic keyboards, the keyboard works when you turn it on with no adjustments. If you want to do ANYTHING other than use it in default mode, then the user guide must be consulted.

Similarity to an acoustic piano - keys are not weighted, 12 keys are missing as compared to an acoustic, and the keys are mighty slippery. I find my fingers slipping off the black notes quite a bit.

Features - the features of this piano seem geered toward a novice learner. ... Read More:

I purchased this on the presumption that it had "1 finger chord" as stated in the sellers description...I feel that the item has been misrepresented, as there doesn't seem to be any such function.

Casio 61-Key Portable Keyboard with Stand - Black (CTK720STAD)

Childrens Toy Shop > Musical Instruments > Musical Instruments
from: Casio


Now, it's been ages since I have had a keybaord or piano around the house. I wanted to get myself back into the swing of things again so I thought I would low-ball it on the price and just get something to get the creative juices flowing again. Well, you get what you paid for.

The CTK-720 arrived today perfectly fine (sans a few nasty dings in the box, the unit was unscathed). I set it up, hooked it up to my own speaker system to make sure it would have the chance to produce a nice clean sound. Boy, not even my speakers could help it.

Beyond the fact that this is definitely a "Beginners" keyboard in the way that just about any instrument other than "piano" sounds like a midi file circa 1980s there is an odd issue. As a 5-octave keyboard ... Read More:

USB Electronic Drum Kit and So

Childrens Toy Shop > Musical Instruments > Musical Instruments
from: Ion


Pros: Cheap
Uses home computer
variable drum sounds
Can use headphones
Can fold to a wall

Cons: drum heads don't create good rebound
annoying to assemble even with instructions
Clamps slip during use
pedals don't create a good enough feel

All in all its not a bad kit. Fine for beginners to get some practice on but if you want that authentic feel its just not going to cut it.
