"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."

"Stays in tune better. Easier to slide up and down the strings."
"Elixir has always been a favorite for me as far as strings go, but I have only ever bought guitar strings before."
"I use Elixir strings on several instruments, but NOT on instruments I play regularly."
"True...eventually the coating starts to shred depending on how often and intensely you play, but if you've had the same strings on that long then either you owe it to yourself to put on a fresh set or don't care and only change strings when one breaks."
"I really like these strings and when you play a lot, you'll appreciate having fresh sound without having to change your strings every couple of weeks before a show."
"These are excellent mandolin strings."
"After several retuning's from the initial stretching the string stay in tune well and sound great."

"I don't personally find these the best strings going (not to my ear on my instrument) but they are good and more importantly form a easy common point of reference for all the others."
"Excellent mando strings."
"These work for me- nice tone, and they last fairly well."
"I don't really enjoy changing strings a lot, so I'm trying some coated Cleartone light gauge."
":D. Phosphor bronze strings are durable and have a warm mellow tone and I use them on both my mandolin and guitar and they last over 6 months.If you want a durable string get phosphor bronze D'Addario mandolin strings."

"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."

"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..."

"I like that fact that you get a set if 4 strings with the different sizes that you would need."
"Great strings!"
