This recorder is a wonderful instrument. It produces a brilliant tone, and I find it easier to play a full two octaves on it than a soprano. The holes are rather far apart, but anyone with normal sized hands should have no trouble reaching. The thumb-rest really does help, and I recommend it as well. The recorder is quieter than its smaller counterparts, but that also makes it easier on the ears.
For the price, I was happy with the quality of construction.
No where in the product specifications does Creative claim that it'll work with Windows Vista or MacOS X, and it certainly doesn't work with either; but it's almost 2009! They need to get their act together and write drivers for modern operating systems. (Most PC manufacturers aren't even shipping computers with XP anymore!)
If you've got XP, it's a fun device, and it works well with the software provided by Creative. It's been a little flaky for me when I try to use it as a MIDI device in more advanced, third-party software (like Reason), but that's usually cured with a reboot.
If Creative wrote MacOS X drivers, this thing would be fantastic with ... Read More:
As a violin player for most of my life I consider this the worst violin I've ever used. If i was able to give it 0 stars I would. I bought this violin just need up my skills for a little while because my violin was too expensive too ship from another country. After receiving this violin it had many many problems. the strings are too close to the finger board you aren't able to play any notes without the notes sounding horrible. The bridge doesn't totally touch the violin base, so you aren't able to even play the right notes when you actually are. The neck wasn't straight and the area where the string was connected to the pecks was too narrow, so you aren't able to even tune the string right without untuning the other strings. The wood on the bow wasn't ... Read More:
We bought this guitar a year ago for our 12 year old daughter. It plays very well, and the strings haven't broken since. The only thing I would worry about when buying it is that the paint chips really easily. I remember one time our 6 year old son accidently hit it against the wall and the paint chipped a little piece off. But if your really careful with it, you'll enjoy playing this a lot. For beginners, I suggest buying an electronic tuner, because the tuner they give you doesn't really help you tune a guitar that well. xDD
I bought this for my three year old niece. She absolutley loves it, however the strings came loose only after playing with it a couple of times. It has the ability to tighten the strings, but they come loose again very quickly. But she loves it, so it was worth it.

I bought this guitar for my little girl knowing it was a low end instrument. I do not have a complaint about the materials or fit/finish. I knew what I was getting. The problem I have with this guitar is that the fret calculations used were off, so that the guitar does not fret accurately. For example, I can tune it up, and it holds a tune for a while. If I fret a D on the B string, it is not a D. This makes the instrument o.k. for play time, but not very good for learning basics of guitar.
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.

This is the book that I first used to learn chords when I was a kid. It is lean, to the point, and a great first book whether your goal is to learn the ukulele or to eventually move up to the guitar. There are many other books that are thicker, newer, and more modern. But few will kickstart the learning process like this one. Mel Bay was a master musician and a wonderful teacher. He still has much to offer.
