"Overall a great case, and can fit other brands of batons, not just Mollard."
"Although "officially" designed for 4 batons, it can hold up to 8 batons."
"Such a great item to have!"
"Compared to a very similar baton case from Mollard that I had recently broken, the velcro on this case runs width-wise instead of along the length of the case, which seems a little less functional to me."
"He has three batons in the case at most times and they fit nicely by reversing every other baton handle, so one up, one down, and then one up. To solidly protect the batons, I would suggest getting a hard case but they are very expensive, otherwise, this is a nice case."
"I am a part-time middle school band director and lay leader in my church's music ministry."
Mollard E69-W Mollard Universal Walnut Case. The case cover is made of black nylon duck, and features a carrying handle, a zippered pocket and a soft lining to protect the beautiful finish of the hardwood.

This is fine, except when compared to the UberTuner which has an LED circle that lights up around the note you are tuned to. To test each tuner, I clamped the Snark and UberTuner on my guitar at the same time. It would be nice if the On/Off button was either a different color, was raised a little, or had a little nub you could feel with your finger."
"A 12 string guitar naturally takes a little longer to tune, but now it is a lot faster."
"Great tuner, easy to use and very accurate."
"UPDATE - The seller contacted me after my initial review and both refunded my purchase price and gave me $10 for the batteries that I had to buy. For that reason, I am upgrading my review to 5 stars from the initial 2."
"I was deciding between this and the Snark Brand tuner ( which is probably good to) and chose this one because of the display...when the circle and line turn solid blue ,(and no red bars light up.)."
"Nice large face, easy to read."
"I installed the battery & clipped it on the headstock of my guitar and started tightening strings."
"I have two Snark tuners and both of them tune the guitar out of tune, yes I said out of tune."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Really appreciate the feature where the "pocket" on one side unzips in two spots so you could layer this over the bar of a piece of rolling luggage. Medium to jumbo-sized Instrument cases are already too much to lug around, so having a good satchel that can fit with your luggage is a very nice thing. Carrying luggage, a large instrument, music stands, garment bag, coat etc is exhausting, so I'm really grateful to reduce some of the burden on my arms."
"All I can say is, I wish that something like this had been available to me 30-plus years ago when I was lugging my music around, because life would have been a lot easier."
"I like to put my phone, wallet & checkbook into my bag before mass for safe keeping. My music had a tendency to fall out with other bags, but this one has a good top zipper, thank God."
"I purchased it to carry my planner(s), my Wacom tablet (Intuos Pro small version), a host of pens, colored pencils and highlighters, incoming/outgoing mail, etc."
"I use this portfolio bag to hold books used for my guitar lessons."
"I play cello, so to get out of the house means lugging the cello, my keys, lesson books, wallet and phone when I leave for my lesson."
"Fishing these things out is a bit of a pain, but there are pockets - dividers really, probably intended to separate music - that I put those items in so that they aren't mixed up in the music."
"It's a nice size navy blue is a nice masculine color for a man."

"Someone needs to redesign the clipping system for these lights or start selling them with a small Velcro strap glued to the cover that will go around the battery case to hold them in place."
"This works great on my music stand so I can read my music during gigs."
"That said, for someone who needs a stand light that is not quite as strong, the Lumiens L2 is a great, solidly built light, and super for the price."
"It has 2 arms, both of which have 2 lights....more than sufficient to light up the whole page of a book---possibly both sides, depending on book size."
"For the longest time, I have been in the mercy of the room's overhead fan lights when I read the music notes and play my guitar with some difficulties because of the created shadow(s)."
"I bought this light to work on my music stand when I play gigs and will be using it with the electrical hookup."
"I wouId recommend this lamp to anyone who needs this type of lamp."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The only con I can think of for this folder is that it is a little big, but that is what I wanted so it is also a pro as far as I'm concerned."
"I would have liked the pockets to be even deeper than they are, but I have a LOT of music for a swing band that I store here (about 200+ songs, many of them multiple pages)."
"The only issues I had were that upon receiving the product, the left pocket was crumpled at the top and couldn't be flattened out, and the bottom of the left pocket was stitched to the folder itself, instead of protruding forward like it should have."
"But this folder, with its Elastic bands to keep music from falling out, works really well and can hold a lot of sheets safely with no worry of damage or wear and tear."
"Stylish and function--great folder, my son loves it."
"Wonderfully designed and a pleasure to hold during a performance."
"I bought this folder to have a safe place to store solos and orchestral excerpts that I'm currently working on."
"I didn't want to buy a higher-end one for my child because I wasn't sure how long my child would continue with this new hobby."

Best Metronomes
Product Code: TM50BK.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The tuner can listen to your instrument, either through its built-in microphone or by plugging the cable from an electronic instrument into the 1/4" phone jack on the side of the unit. For example, play your instrument, the unit determines that you are playing a somewhat flat F, and it then plays an in-tune F through the speaker, and you can adjust to match it. The tuner and the metronome are autonomous, like having a separate tune and metronome in the same case. You can separately select any of several (actually 15) beat subdivisions, or beat emphasis points, so that when you select '3' for example, the metronome will play one beat with one tone, then the next two beats with a different tone, so you can keep track of the first beat of each measure. You can also select things such as triplet subdivisions within a beat, but this unit is not as flexible in this regard as a fancier metronome such as the Dr. Beat, this metronome DOES have the Tap Tempo button; you tap the desired tempo on a large button and the unit automatically figures out the tempo number."
"This Korg multi-function device is the standard that all other tuner/metronomes aspire to be."
"Bought this for my 13 year old who plays the Cello - My 11 year old's music teacher told her this is the tuner to use on all instruments and she has one of her own - It works great - She can now tune her own Cello whenever it's out of tune - Would definitely recommend and would definitely buy again from this seller - Thank you."
"It can be used to tune your music instruments or setting up the tempo during playing exercise."
"I love that I can clip it onto my cello bridge and it allows me to accurately tune all strings without resetting the note as it adjust to whatever pitch you play."
"I use this for a reference when we play, to get the right BPM for songs."
"The metronome lightup to the beat really helped my son keep tempo."
"Friction mounted tuners do not seem to pick up the lowest 2 strings on my basses, but since this one receives a signal straight from the pickups, there is little room for failure."
