Instrument Reviews
Hello and welcome to the instrument reviews page! I thought it would be fun to start a section of the website where I do some reviews on instruments I have worked on, played, owned and borrowed from schools over the years. As a disclaimer, I am not sponsored or associated with any instrument brands nor am I an expert on instrument history. If you see inaccurate information regarding origins of an instrument, please feel free to correct me. I love instrument history and I always want to learn more about these things. My playing impressions are my personal opinions based on my preferences, tastes, and playing skill level at the time of the review writing. I hope you all enjoy reading my thoughts and learning a bit more about these often undocumented and underrated instruments!
NOTE: I am in the process of writing new reviews, editing and rewriting old reviews and posting better images of the instruments so please bare with me. Thank you!
