It feels so much better to order directly from Johnson, a smaller and specialized business, than the big online retailers.

I received my hard copy in a timely manner, but the corners were it bit bent from either packaging or shipping. But the printing is good quality.

Maybe seek sturdier shipping packages/envelopes for hard copy, soft cover music.

I had previous experience with this book in the viola version so I knew it has good arrangements. Shipping time was as expected. I was especially pleased with the light cardboard mailer and no plastic!

It’s very sturdy and does the job of supporting my guitar. Definitely recommend it for any classical guitar player.

Arrived super fast. In good condition. Very curious to try them out as I studied Flesch scales instead. Have been a customer of Johnson Strings since around 2004. Thank you.

Threads are a bit fragile and coming undone/fraying near the ball end since I put it on. There is also a sharp bit of metal coming out where the string wraps around the ball, but not severe enough to risk breakage. I do enjoy the sound of the string. From now on I will be sure to look more carefully before I put them on, but on this occasion I didn't have time and needed a string right away.

Shopping experience was great! I was able to find strings I couldn't locally. One thing I'll do better next time is examine the strings thoroughly (before putting on the instrument) for crimps, fraying threads, metal pieces, etc., and I'll try to order in advance so I have time to re-order if necessary.

This string arrived with a crimp in it, which I didn't notice until it was being stretched onto the instrument. Next time I will look more carefully before I put one on, because it can't be returned since I did already try it.

This is the string my son's teacher recommends and he is concert master of our Symphony, so I know it is a good quality for the value.

This is a fabulous book to sink a student’s teeth into for the study of bow usage to develop tone and lyricism.

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
