"Solid hardshell case!"
"I would have given five stars, but the locking case arrived locked, with the keys inside!"
"The seller said that if I returned the case, they would give me a complete refund."
"My banjo case really took a beating - and a year later, it is still my case."
"I'm not expertly well-versed in instrument cases, but this more than fit my needs."
"My issue is that if you have a banjo with a back on it and/or a strap, it is going to be a very tight fit. Also I absolutely cannot fit the strap in the case."
"The locking hardware is a nice touch and I love the storage compartment inside, plenty of room to hold all the accessories and some other non related stuff to my banjo when I take it out with me."
The Super Banjo Strap™ uses strong side release buckles which join secure Neo-Loops™ to the main body of the strap. Tailored neoprene pad with internal control-stretch design.

"On the tag, it says it will reduce the weight of the banjo by up to 50%, which we were skeptical about, but it makes the banjo feel much lighter and reduces neck strain."
"You simply detach the snap locks on each end, thread them along the brackets of the banjo, then secure the clips onto the strap."
"This strap really helps while playing my banjo uke."
"This is the MOST COMFORTABLE strap I've EVER used on a banjo."
"I bought this because I saw several posts online mentioning that this strap relieved shoulder pain."
"Super comfortable, and does make it feel lighter."
"I bought the bass version of this strap and it is not long enough for someone who likes to wear their bass lower."
Designed by the Gold Tone folks, the “Ultimate Mute” surpasses all other muffling devices. This USA handmade mute has all the best features but most of all it provides a quiet, sustaining tone which is pleasing for all styles of banjo.

"Of course, if your banjo has a resonator you don't really want to be quiet anyway, so why are you even looking at this?"
"I saw my friend had a violin mute and wondered if there was such a thing for my banjo. As an added bonus, the sound is so unique I've actually screwed around with a couple of my songs with it."
"The problem was getting it on because the inside felt strip was not connected very good at all, so it rolled up and crumpled."
"I really wanted to like it, but it just didn't muffle or mute the sound but rather altered the tone somewhat."
"My banjo has a resonator and it suppressed it substantially."
"Awesome product!"
"I was kind of surprised when I put this on my banjo and the volume decreased by about 90%."

"Purchased a nylon gig bag instead of a hard shell one, because I couldn't justify spending more on the case than on the (cheap) base level mandolin we got."
"I noticed he had a Yukalaly and thought the Mandolin would be a nice addition."
"What a super product and great company to do business with!"
"The padding feels of better quality than some of the more expensive gig bags I've had in the past."
"Very nice gig bag for mandolins, fits both F and A mandolins nicely."
"This simple gig bag is a great investment if you want to keep your mandolin safe, without having to invest on a hard shell case."
"Wouldn't say it's "heavy duty" as it is soft sided, but with care it seems to be protecting the 8 year old's mandolin."

"So, you're going to need a tuner every time you play."
"One of the first things I learned was to get good strings, and a great tuner. The Snark SN6 Clip-On Ukulele Tuner tunes my Uke perfectly!"
"My mom is a musical director for her middle school's band and she thought the tuner was great too."
"The Snark fits the small uke head (and work just as well on my six-string), lets me tune super quick and get to playing."
"I own several tuners, and two Snark-2 tuners, which are great (except they're not low profile like the Korg Pitchclip Chromatic Clip On Guitar Tuner - Korg PC-1--please see my review of that tuner). I wanted to try it compared to the Snark-2 Snark SN-2 All Instrument Clip-On Chromatic Tuner. The Snark-6 and Snark-2 are identical, except for color."
"This tuner took all the guess work out so it was very easy for me to maintain a nice sounding ukulele."
"The swivel connections feel solid and it clips on to the head with a very sturdy gripper clip. You can tune with dead on accuracy by just looking for red, solid green, no yellow."

"The outside pocket isn't great because, as another reviewer noted, you can't fit any music in there. I need to travel with this thing (walking around with it, but also taking it on planes) and I am terrified at any given moment that they're going to snap off."
"I can see from the construction that if I gave it the Samsonite Gorilla treatment, it probably wouldn't hold up, but as a case to take with me to a festival, and have back-pack straps, or a handle, and space to bring the rest of the junk along, its a pretty good deal."
"We travel to churches and carry the various music instruments (mostly the guitar) with us."
"Wow!"
"as soon as I unzipped it and swung it open, the little strap on the left that would keep it from flopping over popped right out of the seam."
"It's a very nice case but way too heavy for me and too big, I exchanged it for the smaller one."

"Excellent... Just what I wanted..."
"Some string sets are too slack in the lower tunings and produce a lot of stray noises."
"I like that fact that you get a set if 4 strings with the different sizes that you would need."
"Great strings!"
