Hadn't seen Kaplan Art Craft since 2007; people kept trying to foist student rosin in the black plastic case instead. I am delighted to see Art Craft alive and well after all these years. I was originally hooked by Bill Monical in his Staten Island shop/home in 1997 or thereabouts.

I had trouble in the beginning as it wouldn't process my order. It kept saying customer support, but the next day, it was quick and easy. Thank you Johnson String Instrument for my rental.

A good product 60 years ago and still good today

I have a Wittner metronome from 1964. It finally gave up the ghost and I needed to replace it. About 15 years ago I bought this model for my wife to use when she practiced the piano. It has worked well so I bought another one to replace the 60 year one that broke. From what I can see, the new one is identical to the 15 year old one and is working very well.

Recommend

Nice and loud. I appreciate the memory function. My teacher uses this metronome and recommends it to her students. It has some unique rhythm settings that my old Whitner metronome does not.

No wolf-tone G string

Best G string of all that I was trying, since all others had the terrible wolf-tone when playing f natural. It has great focus and warm but carrying resonance.

Might work OK on student standard violin bow.

This grip is OK, but I think the SUPVOX 4pcs Violin Bow Grip that I purchased through AMAZON looks better and fits more perfectly on my Baroque bow.

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.
