Kinds Of Guitar Strings

I will be using this for recording vocals, instruments (bass, trumpet, guitar, sax) and synth (strings, piano, etc.). Having tried it on synth samples thus far, it adds a mellowing and pleasing analog feel to the recording quality. Excellent manufacturing and presentation.

This is a beautiful ukulele. I'm a novice at ukulele (although I've played guitar before) and want to try learning this. The first few songs I've learned have a nice tone. The tuning doesn't seem quite as stable as my steel-stringed guitar, so I need to tune it a bit more at the start of each session, although that may be something that's inherent with nylon strings. Regarding the strings, though, the feel of them is nice, and my fingers aren't all calloused yet, the way they get when I play the guitar frequently. As for price, you can't beat this, especially with the package deal. Get it.

I've been working as a guitar teacher for decades and have always used D'Addario strings on all my guitars because of their consistently good quality and balanced tone. I don't think I've ever had a bad set. These EJ 16-3D Light Phosphor Bronze acoustic guitar strings have a nice warm sound and just the right balance between the bass and treble strings.

I was looking for a cheap guitar with laminate construction that I could take on trips, camping, etc. This guitar received many favorable reviews on many sites and for the price there was no reason not to give it a try. The guitar was delivered in good condition with reasonable action, strings in good condition and tuners, while not high quality, keep the strings reasonably in tune. I did adjust the action and changed strings, which improved playability and sound. The finish is on the low end but I'm fine with it. The sound is pleasantly good. It is not tonally full or as resonant as guitars at a higher price point, but isn't that expected? I'm quite surprised by how good this guitar is and its $79.99 delivered. It will be a great travel / camping guitar. I order another one just because it's cheap, plays well and sounds fine for my intended use of this guitar.

I've been recording all kinds of concerts for the last few decades, and one super-reliable one-size-will-fit-almost-all approach for orchestras is two small diaphragm condensers, up over the conductor's head, splayed out sideways. (The ORTF style specifies an angle of 110 degrees, the NOS configuration is 90 degrees. Both have their unique strengths.) These Lewitt LCT 140's are spectacular in this application: over the weekend I recorded a tracker organ (which means mechanically operated- other than the electric blower fan, this is the kind of organ Bach knew and loved) concert in an 1800's church, and the results were amazing. The different registers and voices came through distinctly, and the rumbling of the pedals was earthquake-like. The weekend before that, it was a cello-guitar duo, and the mikes were placed on knee-high stands in front of each player. Again, the capture was thrilling, larger than life- the guitar crisp and punchy, the cello sweetly singing. This was all with the "flat" setting, as opposed to the "high end sparkle accentuation" setting, which seems like a wonderfully slick way to heighten the clarity of some instrument meant to have the central focus. The onboard pad and low cut options are also fabulous to have, when you need to contend with the rigors of the real world, which can get noisy and can be unpredictable at times. For many years I was using Oktava MK-012's for these kinds of duties, and later Avant CK-1's, fantastic mikes indeed, but from now on it'll be the Lewitts. Since these are so lightweight, you'll want special shockmounts (I got the Rycotte Inv-6 softies). And if you still need convincing: check out ANY of the multiple Youtube videos where people put these to the test- music, voice, sound effects, whatever. There is just something about the accuracy, the precision, the truthfulness of these things... you will be a believer, I guarantee.

Wow! I'm loving this thing. Works on all kinds of sources. Super articulate microphone. Love it on electric guitar cabinet. I've used on acoustic guitar and bass cabinet also with good results. Definitely one of the best sleepers I've discovered.

Nice aid when changing strings. Keeps instrument looking good.

Works good, unfolds great. The only thing I wish was it had strings to go with the sticks...it says you can tie it up in the instructions but I never found them. Maybe it's just me..dunno..but overall a fantastic product

I use these things in all kinds of installations and never had an issue.

This is the best Metalic paper and I have tried several kinds.
