Stringed Instrument Played At Renaissance Fairs

I’m not a musician, I can’t read music, and I don’t know music theory. But I can play this and it makes me smile! I’ve had this instrument (yes, it is an actual instrument - not a toy) for close to a month now and I’ve played it almost every day. It’s allowing me to learn to make music while also having fun with music. The strumplate is magical. It feels so nice and accurate. It is sensitive enough to pick up the lightest touch (although, it is not force sensitive in how it plays a chord). The “keyboard” if you will is something you either get used to or may not enjoy. I’ve learned to accept it, as its keys are firm, yet mushy-ish rubber buttons. The body is made of a high quality and strong plastic. It isn’t flimsy feeling in my observations and feels sturdy when you play into it. Once you learn its characteristics, you can be one with the Omnichord and just have a blast! This instrument has many uses too, as it can be used as a MIDI controller! I’ve connected it to my MacBook Pro and have played so many different sounds/electronic instruments through Logic Pro. I’m still learning the ins and outs, but I’m seeing limitless options with how you can play this thing! The onboard sounds are crisp, clear, and this little speaker can play big! Also, knowing it’s part analog, part electronic is neat. You can tell there was a lot of thinking that went into this. Overall, I’d buy this again if I ever needed to (who knows how many Suzuki will make though!) simply because it’s has captured my attention for this long and brings a smile to may face every time I play it. You’ll be the hit of the crowd when you show this off, too! It’s unique, it stands out, and it’s simply a joyful part of my day.

At the time I purchased this bass it was on sale at the price of $199 for the Champagne Gold finish. Although I was not familiar with this specific model line of Ibanez basses, for the price it seemed worth a try. I had played other more expensive Ibanez basses and found them to be made with quality woods and parts. They played well too. When it arrived I was amazed at the quality of this bass. I had thought I might be getting less for the lower price. Even if it had been purchased at the full MSRP of the instrument, I would not have felt slighted. The build quality is excellent. After setting it up with a new set of DR strings it plays extremely well. The tuners and hardware are high quality. The tones I have been able to get out of it with the onboard active electronics alone is pretty staggering for a single instrument - without using any outboard effects. It seems like a bought 7 basses for the price of one. I've been playing it through a DI interface and Apple's Mainstage software for effects and the possibilities seem endless. Truly a surprise for such an inexpensive instrument. Well worth a try. Great for experienced players or beginners.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved receiving this product. I never “played” and instrument but so excited to finally learn. I had a keyboard as a kid and self learned some simple songs. This was super easy to set up and has so many different sound qualities I can’t wait to dig I more and learn more piano ?

12 core is where its at.

Action is very close to a stringed piano pedal. Holds the notes well. Great product and price

Perfect. My children can now practice their stringed instruments at their desks or any table without having to set up a regular sized music stand. We love the fact that it is manufactured in the USA.

I use it to sell my art at fairs. The title says it all. Costs less then refilling cartridges at @. The 4 x 6 paper is a plus.

I first used this at the Pensacola Renaissance Festival. It was a very sunny day and I was surrounded by tons of people and events to photograph, to include a falconry demonstration. This filter was easy to use and rotate to the needed setting, all the while remaining secure on the lens. It threaded on easily with no hint of cross threading. Very happy with the how all of the photos came out with the skies excellent outcome.

We used this paper to output some large scale reproductions of paintings from the Northern Renaissance for an art history class project. The prints were flawless and captured every meticulous detail of the original image. The paper has a nice weight and was easy to manipulate, but was also sturdy enough to resist buckles and creases. I would happily order rolls of it for future projects.

I am a photographer @ Renaissance Festivals, it's a rough and tumble affair with lots of motion on both my part and targets. My previous diffuser was forever falling off and betraying me at very inopportune moments, this one is a good snug fit. It took a few shots to see how well it worked and for the most part I only bler a few shots the first day, I only use it to fill dark spaces under the brims of hats.
