Musical Instruments

NAMM is here and, as usual, Yamaha's presence is remarkable. Read on to see what's new for 2021 in digital pianos, guitars, and woodwinds.

The Blue Lava Touch is a smart guitar that will appeal to every kind of guitarist due to its array of digital features and quality sound.

Blue Microphones has released the new Yeti X USB microphone and is providing the opportunity to have professional level audio without professional level costs.

A tuner is an essential tool. Guitarists and bassists are lucky to have access to clip-on models, such as the excellent Korg PitchCrow-G.

The Turbo Mesh Kit by Alesis is ideal for silent home practice thanks to its great features as well as its quality pads.

If you are looking for some great professional-reference sound, M-Audio has two great options with BX3 and BX4 Multimedia speakers. Here's my full review.

Guitarists are always on the lookout for additional pieces of gear or accessories. The holidays are the perfect occasion to bring the joy and happiness!

Casio's CDP-S360 is a great starting point for beginners or for those that are looking to upgrade to a full-sized portable digital piano.

The single channel XSW 1-825-A and dual channel XSW 1-835 DUAL-A microphone sets from Sennheiser offer great sound and easy set up for beginners and professionals.

I review and compare three microphones from Audio-Technica—the AT2020, AT2035, and AT2040. All three are great microphones that offer fantastic value.
