paulyeagerviolin.com - Paul Yeager, 14 year old violinist plays Max Bruch's "Scottish Fantasy" with Northern Kentucky Symphony circa 1995. Violin appears to be the Guarneri del Gesu on loan from CCM (this was one of the two great violins I had on loan from CCM as a student of Kurt Sassmansshaus, the other more often loaned violin being a Gagliano, which I liked more but was worth far less in dollars).

Product Description

At the top of Cremona’s Maestro Series is a re-creation of the legendary “Hellier” Strad. The “Hellier” is the most famous of Antonio Stradivari’s inlaid violins. Originally purchased by Sir Samuel Hellier in the early 18th century directly from the Master, the instrument eventually passed to Mr. H.E. Morriss, a Shanghai newspaper publisher. Fortunately, Mr. Morriss took the Hellier with him to England before World War II; after World War II, Morriss saw all of his Shanghai possessions confiscated by the revolutionary functionaries of Mao Zedong and put on display as “plunder”. The original “Hellier” is presently in the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C.

Product Description

The SUZUKI METHOD of Talent Education is based on Dr. Shinichi Suzuki's view that every child is born with ability, and that man is the son of his environment. According to Dr. Suzuki, a world-renowned violinist and teacher, the greatest joy an adult can know comes from developing a child's potential so he/she can express all that is harmonious and best in human beings. Students are taught using the mother-tongue approach. Suzuki Violin School Materials include: Violin Parts (Vol. 1-10) * Piano Accompaniments (Vol. 1-10) * Cassettes (Vol. 1-3 performed by Shinichi Suzuki, Vol. 4-8 performed by Koji Toyoda) * Compact Discs (Vol. 5-8, performed by Koji Toyoda) * David Cerone Performs Suzuki Violin School (Cassettes & Compact Discs, Vol. 1-4) * David Nadien Performs Suzuki Violin School (Cassettes and Compact Discs, Vol. 1-4). Suzuki Method Core Materials available for piano, violin, viola, cello, string bass, flute, harp, guitar, and recorder.

Excellent version of Suzuki Violin 1 CD
 
Review Date: July 26, 2008
Reviewer: barbiejen2, oregon
David Nadien's CD is a great version - it includes the piano accompaniments so that your child can play with the CD.
Great CD
 
Review Date: August 4, 2006
Reviewer: K. Navas, San Jose, CA United States
This is the 3rd CD from the Suzuki series we've purchased. Like
the 1st two CDs, it's good, clear and well played. The piano accompaniment is not overwhelming nor is it too soft. My daughter enjoys listening and playing her violin along with these CDs. It's a good idea to have this to play the new songs so your child can hear the pieces for Book 3 of the Suzuki pieces. She asks for it when we're in the car so that she can listen to it while I drive.
Great

Reviewer: W. Miller, Salt Lake City, UT USA
Great recording. It really helps to listen to these if you are taking Suzuki lessons.
Great CD!
 
Review Date: October 1, 2009
Reviewer: CatherineS,
I'm an adult violin student and have tried to use the CD's that come with the Suzuki books, but I've ended up purchasing CD's performed by David Nadien every time. In fact, I just bought the CD for book 4 today. The quality of the CD's performed by David Nadien are hands-down better than the ones that come with the books. My only complaint is that Nadien just performs for books 1-4 -- which means I'll have to try to find a performer for books 5 and up that I like as much.
Helpful Tool

This CD is a very useful tool for students using the Suzuki book 1 to learn violin. My daughter uses it daily for her practice sessions!

Every track on this CD contains a beautiful melody, many of them easily recognizable, all of them exuding tranquility. "O mio babbino caro" from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi opens the disc, with Bell delicately accompanied by a harp and spinning the long melody with great sensitivity. Bellini's "Casta diva" from Norma lives up to its reputation as the[Read More]

Korg CA-30 Solo Chromatic Tuner
 
Manufacturer: Korg
Customer Rating:
 
List Price: $32.00
Sale Price: View Sale Price
Availibility: View Product Availability

Product Description

High accuracy and superb functionality have made Korg chromatic tuners the worldwide favorite. And now, the new Korg CA-30 joins the best-selling CA series of tuners. With even more features, like a pitch reference tone and marks for pure major thirds and minor thirds, the CA-30 digital tuner packs basic functionality and convenient tuning functions into ultra-compact bodies.

Plenty of features and functionality in a small package. Click to enlarge.

High-precision LCD meter and LEDs to indicate pitch deviation.

Built-in speaker for reference pitches.

Wide Range of Pitch Detection
This compact chromatic tuner supports a broad range of C1 (32.70 Hz)-C8 (4186.01 Hz), allowing speedy and high-precision tuning of wind, string, keyboard, and other instruments. This hand held tuner is ideal for tuning even low-register notes containing numerous overtones that are often difficult to tune. A high-sensitivity microphone is built-in to this chromatic tuner, allowing easy and accurate tuning of acoustic instruments such as ukuleles. A separately sold CM-100 contact microphone can also be used to send the vibrations directly to the tuner for even more accurate tuning.

Ultra-compact body with a "Tilt Slit"
Although the CA-30 is small, thin, and light, don't let its pocket-sized body fool you. The CA-30 chromatic tuner packs the functionality needed for tuning a wide range of instruments. From studio to stage, tuning is easy and convenient. The back of the unit includes a unique arc-shaped "tilt slit" that lets you insert a plastic card for use as a handy stand.

High-precision LCD Meter
The meter section uses an LCD needle, combining the accuracy of an LCD with the easy visibility of a needle, and providing a stable display. Additional visual feedback is provided by LEDs that indicate pitch deviation.

Sound Out
In addition to visual tuning via meter, the Korg CA-30 can play reference pitches from its internal speaker (Sound Out) for tuning by ear. Each press of the Sound switch will cycle through the A4-Bb4 notes, commonly used for tuning wind instruments. Alternatively, you can hold down the Sound switch to change the cycle to the semitone intervals from C4 through C5 (one octave), allowing reference pitches for any instrument to be sounded quickly.

Adjustable Calibration
The Calibration function (410-480 Hz) of this chromatic tuner supports a wide range of standard pitches, and can be adjusted in 1 Hz steps for accurate and flexible tuning to any song or key. Thanks to the Memory Backup function, the Calibration and reference pitch are remembered even when the power is turned off. (However, these settings will be initialized when the batteries are replaced.)

Auto Power Off Function
The power will turn off automatically if the unit is left powered-on for 20 minutes without performing any operation, avoiding unnecessary battery consumption.

Approximately 100 hours of Continuous Use Low-power consumption design allows an amazing 100 hours (approximate) of continuous battery life (A4 continuous input, meter mode, zinc-carbon batteries).

Three Year Warranty
Korg tuners and metronomes purchased from a Korg USA authorized dealer now have a three year warranty.

What's in the Box
