Two thumbs up!!

The order was handled well, but the two lower strings so exacerbated the wolf on my cello that I had to take them off and replace them with the old strings (the cheap Spirocore strings). They worked much better. The wolf eliminator did help, but the Larsen C and G were really unplayable even with it.

They did not work on my cello. The wolf became much worse, and the lower two strings became unplayable, despite the wolf eliminator.

The musician's chair is just what I needed to practice classical guitar at home. Deliver was prompt. I am very satisfied with the transaction.

Well-organized site with helpful filters for searching. Also, helpful recommendations that come up in light of my past purchases.
So far, every time I have had an order, it was thoughtfully and carefully packed and this is much appreciated.

This is the only chin rest I personally like and all of my students prefer it as well. No metal to bother their skin, the height isn’t too bad and it’s softer plastic than the hard wooden ones. They hold up well over time as well. We have been using these for years now.

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.
