The S115V is a trapezoid design cabinet, with oversize steel handles, steel corner protectors, a steel jackplate with both dual Speakonâ and high current, heavy duty Switchcraft® 1/4" input jacks, and a built-in socket for pole mounting. Its covering is tough black carpet, with a heavy gauge perforated steel grille for driver protection. The woofer, or low frequency driver is a high power design using cast aluminum frame, with a cooling port in the pole piece for extended high power handling. The high frequency driver is a custom, 2" diaphragm (1" exit) design with an exclusive phase plug that reduces harmonic distortion inside the driver itself. This driver is mated to a 90° x 40° constant directivity design to give smooth, even coverage over the pattern of the horn. Both of these drivers are custom made for us by Eminence®. The internal passive crossover has protection circuitry to help guard against damage that may occur from over powering the S115V. This loudspeaker is manufactured in the USA. It is covered by a 3-year warranty.

Yamaha CP33 Stage Piano

Buy Cheap Yamaha CP33 Stage Piano

Buy Low Price From Here Now
The CP33 is made for the serious musician on-the-go. Sit down with one, and the instrument becomes an extension of your hands and your musical imagination. The authentic piano voices and rich expressiveness come alive at your touch, and the sound is big enough to blast through a full band onstage - yet nuanced enough to work magic in an intimate club. Yamaha's extensive experience in crafting fine acoustic pianos helps us in creating the ultimate digital pianos. Our advanced Graded Hammer Effect (GHE) action gives all keys an authentic resistance that increases from the top register to the lower - just as on an actual acoustic piano. Which means that you can naturally pound out thunderous low notes with your left hand and let the fingers on your right dance and fly with the high notes. In crafting the authentic sound of the CP series, we used meticulously recorded stereo samples of top-quality instruments, taken at various playing strengths, and included subtle elements such as String Resonance, Stereo Sustain, and even Key-Off Samples that capture the felt dampers muting the piano strings - providing the most authentic sounding and finely nuanced acoustic piano voices possible. The CP stage pianos are also master keyboard controllers that give you full command of your gear. Play and control external tone generators. Assign different voices to different keyboard sections and create multi-textured layers of sound. Two instrument zones on the CP33 with panel sliders, let you easily tweak the level of each instrument as you play. You can also freely reassign the sliders and wheels to control other sonic characteristics of your gear, such as sound attack, decay, brightness and filter cutoff. At just under 40 lbs. the CP33 is a very compact and portable yet full size stage piano.

 "To Hell and Back" 2010-09-12
By S.
This is a product that I'm sure would be great... if you could get it to work. Steinberg has so many DRM measures put into place, it sure does a great job of making sure nobody who shouldn't be using it is using it. Unfortunately, it pretty much makes it so ... nobody can use it. I bought this recently at a local music store, and after over four hours of trouble shooting, uninstalling and reinstalling, updating drivers, and going through multiple guides and trying to install it on TWO different operating systems / computers, it still did not work fully. There was always some kind of an issue. It's rather unfortunate, and especially frustrating, because from what I can tell it both could and should be an excellent product.



Unless you're ready to risk an ungodly amount of trouble shooting, anger, frustration, and possibly total lack of success in regards to using this product, I would not recommend it. I didn't want to rate it 1 Star just because I've had a miserable experience with it, because I HAVE heard good things about the software that comes with this product, Cubase, and the interface itself. But, as this whole review is to say, it means absolutely nothing when company that has an over the top, paranoid, totalitarian grasp over it's digital rights management and software distribution, making it near impossible for some people who legitimately buy their products to use, I can no where near support or recommend.



Buyer beware.

 "Too dificult for me to figure out how to use" 2009-09-07
By indianagringo (Indianapolis, IN)
This item was advertised as being very simple to use, that is why I bought it for our family as a xmas present. Here it is, September, and I'm still struggling with it. I should have sent it back a long time ago.

 "Audigram 6" 2009-06-21
By RockinAZ (Peoria, AZ United States)
I haven't worked with it very much. It seems a little noisy. Other reviews I have read mention changing the driver settings. I haven't done any of that. It worked out of the box with very little tweaking. The Cubase 4i is somewhat daunting. There is a lot to it. In all, it seems like a good package for the money.

 "great for the most part" 2009-02-21
By D. H. Preuss II (Baja)
first, they sent me the Anagram 3, not the 6. Anyhow, check out asio4all for windows asio driver. Not sure it makes a world of diff. No probs with the Yamaha drivers, Windows vista 32bit.



Have static real bad if my laptop is plugged into 110, on battery the system is crystal clear.



Data has some skips during recording. using laptop w/ 5400 rpm sata or usb 7200 drive, both skip.



Decided to go with a Mackie 8 channel (802 VLZ3) mixer and a Tascam dp 004 recorder and bypass the computer/interface all together. The computer interface is too complicated for a two channel mix. Too much to set up and tear down for live performances.



Love the Mackie for a 1000 reasons! It's my favorite piece of equipment. Haven't got the Tascam yet, 1 more week.



Note on the Audiogram: the channel level controls are not full kill. If you have a mic plugged in and turn the level all the way down, you still get signal from the mic in your mix.



The users manual is very good.



The Cubase AI4 is rock solid, extensive activation process, updates are available.





Update on Tascam dp-004 pocket studio with which I was going to replace this yamaha recorder and my laptop, didn't like the Tascam at all, doesn't record directly to WAV (or any other usable) format and converts in real time, a two hour recording takes at least two more hours to convert. Sent it back. Looking at a Zoom H2 for the same price.

 "Yamaha YPT-320 review" 2010-08-31
By maximvk (BLAINE, WA, US)
Very nice keyboard for a beginner or an experienced musician.

Tons of great features which I have yet to learn. Sounds very realistic, better then Casio keyboards.

The only dissapointment was that on the product discription page it does not say that keyboard comes with AC adapter. Based on the description and the suggestion from Amazon that together with the keyboard customers were buying AC adapter; I ordered AC adapter separately. Now I have 2 adapters, one of them is collecting dust and was additional expense to me for no reason. Beware! Do not order separate AC adapter with this keyboard, it already comes with one. I give 4 stars because of that, otherwise it would be 5.

I also ordered Yamaha L3C Attachable Keyboard Stand for this keyboard. Yamaha does not say it's compatible with YPT-320, but it fits nicesly. I like the fact that the stand is screwed to the bottom of the keyboard so it will not fly off the stand, like it can do from one of those X-style stands.

 "Yamaha FG JR1 3/4 Size Acoustic Guitar" 2010-07-29
By Mr Black
Sounds pretty good for the price, but the tuning didn't hold, the factory strings were crap, but new strings will solve that tuning problem. My son is 5 and learning, It fits good in his hands.

 "Great starter guitar" 2010-05-17
By D. Zydel
I bought this for my 13 y/o son because the full size guitar makes it hard for him to hold properly. He is much more comfortable with this, he's progressing faster with his lessons, and it sounds great and is holding it's tuning well.

 "Wonderful Children's Guitar" 2010-01-23
By washbear (Apex, NC USA)
I'm very satisfied with this guitar, which I bought for my 8-year old son. The tone is good and the guitar stays in tune. It feels well-made in the hands. We had a Mark II M2G-30SB 1/2-size guitar which we'd used for a year before this, and it didn't stay in tune (and it always had one sour string that never would get in tune, even with the help of an electronic tuner. Changing the strings didn't help). So I'm very pleased with the Yamaha. It's great quality at an affordable price. We purchased the guitar through the Guitar Center website, which had free shipping. It comes with a soft case. The only criticism I have, and it's a minor one, is that I wish the case had at least one pocket on it for picks and such. But it's a well-made case otherwise. Thank you, Yamaha, for making a good product!

 "Beware of the Steel Strings" 2009-12-30
By A. Oldham (USA)
This was purchased as a first guitar gift for my kids. I admittedly don't know much about guitars, but one of the things that make things difficult learning a guitar is sore fingers and apparently nylon strings are easier on the fingers than steel strings.



Just wanted to let everyone know although this guitar appears to be marketed toward kids, it has steel strings... so beware.



Otherwise the guitar sounds good for the price.

 "Good Value in a Smaller Guitar" 2009-12-16
By M. J. Keyes
One of the other reviewers complained that their guitar teacher called this a "1/4 sized guitar" and it appeared that they felt they had gotten a bad deal. No, it is a 3/4 sized guitar - this is based on scale length and not overall size of the guitar - but it is small. This guitar has a 21 1/4" scale (normal is about 26" but it varies), a 12 1/2" lower bout and a 9" upper bout. This places it in the parlor size category, more or less, and it fits a child well.



This is a fully functioning guitar with a solid spruce top, decent craftsmanship, and an adjustable truss rod. The action is acceptable (although it needs setup at the nut) and the tone is, well, there. You are never going to confuse the Yamaha FG JR1 for a $3000 Taylor. It is a $120 guitar. The main virtues are its size, playability, and price. For that $120 you get a well made, well designed small guitar suitable for all ages with enough tone and volume to hold its own in a small group. You can take it aboard any plane and place it in the overhead rack. If you are sitting around the campfire and have to fight off a bear with it, you are only out $120 and it is sturdy enough to tolerate at least one swing.



The adjustable truss rod lets you change the relief of the neck in all sorts of conditions (assuming you are brave enough to do so) and a little filing on the nut by your luthier (don't try this at home unless you have some experience) will make it very playable for both finger style and pick.



So it is not the top of the line, it works well for what it was intended to be. It sure beats the heck out of the so-called travel guitars which all sound like they are made from cardboard and look like the set designer of Avatar or LOTR produced them for orcs. If you are looking for a quality small guitar but are too cheap to pay for one, give the Yamaha FG JR1 a look.

 "Awesome guitar" 2010-04-16
By Steven A. Fisher (Burbank, CA)
My son loves it. The guitar is nice, the amp is nice, the patch cords a little iffy, but they're easily replaced. Just a beautiful, great sounding guitar. Anyone into guitar would love to fool around with one of these.

This is one great guitar!



As a beginner, I cannot claim to know much about guitars, but I did do my research. Yamaha make great musical instruments and this guitar is recommended as a great beginner guitar by several places, including About. The package has everything you need to get started.





THE GOOD:

The guitar - One great instrument. The build feels solid and not at all cheap. The strings are close the the fret board which is great. The tuners are very smooth and feel good. The guitar also has 3 pickups and 5 positions which allow you to change up the sound of he guitar from rock to jazz. Basically, this is a really good guitar. And it has two nobs for volume and tone.

The Amplifier - This is a good beginner amplifier. It is small and has 15 watts. It has two channels: Clean and Dirty. Plenty nobs for us beginners to play with: gain, dirty volume, clean volume, treble, middle, bass. Also has a quarter inch headphone jack. Despite what majority might think, 15 watts is enough for just about anything you'll be doing. The 15 watts allows you to turn up the gain all the way up and keep the volume down and still have it sound good.

The electric tuner - a nice little add-on for beginners.

The DVD - great place as any to start. Goes over the basics and teaches several chords.

Other - comes with extra strings :)



THE BAD:

The guitar - none at all.

The Amp - the only bad thing with it (for what it is), is that the headphones jack is a 1/4 inch jack so most of us with 3.5mm standard headphone will either need to get new headphones or adapter to use it. But it is no big deal in my opinion.

The Guitar Cable - it is one cheap cable. Mine broke after 4 days. I also noticed that in the dvd that was provided, the instructor didn't use the cable that was provided but a monster cable, which I found to be funny. You can get a monster cable for pretty cheap here on Amazon, so again, nothing too serious. Order one when you order the guitar so you don't have to wait like I do.

The Guitar Strap - again pretty cheap. It is like one of those run of the mill nylon straps that you see. I am going to invest in a better one but this one will do for most. On a side note, and this is with all guitars. Invest in peg locks. They will prevent the strap from coming off the pegs on the guitar. When putting on my guitar the strap slipped off the peg, but luckily I was holding the guitar very firmly. Again, this is true for all guitars and not just this one.





Bottom line: Great guitar, great package, great buy. I am happy with it.

Great starter for beginner's, The 15 watt amp does a good job, The DVD is very informative. The only drawback is the cord, It is cheap and broke on me the second day, Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on a better quality cord. The guitar it self is top notch, Yamaha has maintained there craftsmanship with this guitar. All in all a great price for a starter.

I'm glad I paid $100 less than what it is now, but if you look up the guitar you will find out that it sells for that much alone.
