Hi, I might be starting up flute lessons. I want to look for a good student flute but I don't know what brands are good brands. I looked at a $250.00 Gameinhart (sp?) and it looked good to me. Anyways, plzz give me some feed back

I can't speak personally because I do not nor have I ever played the flute... however one of my best friends does play the flute and has for 20+ years and she prefers a Gemindhart.

Check gander Mountain.  i think I bought afew there last summer.  They are great jigs and the fish just love them!  I have to go to the Gander Mountain here and I'll check for them.  If u can't find any send me an e-mail and I might be able to send some to you.

I would check out the Ludwig Accent CS drumset.  For around $400, you get everything you need including cymbals.  If you go with the Pearl Export you'll end up spending around $800 with cymbals.  I'd say the quality of the shells is about on par with the Pearl Forum drumset, but the price is much better.  All of the entry level drumsets are being made in China (probably in the same factory), so you should just go with the best price.  I would stay away from the store brands, since they'll be much lower in the support/parts area.  If you ever have a problem with the Ludwig, you should be able to go to any Ludwig dealer for help.\n\nYou can find it online at major percussion retailers. \nhttp://www.musiciansfriend.com\nhttp://www.music123.com\nhttp://www.steveweissmusic.com

Don't think it matters what make your cue is, yes it helps to buy quality. But what i recommend is go to a local dealer, they should let you try out your new cue on a practise table. When i last bought my cue i was in the shop for 4 hours trying out lots of cues. REMEMBER IT HOW YOU FEEL NOT HOW MUCH IT COSTS!

its ok man-but you really ought to use a bit of self discipline and save another $100 and get yourself one of the fender squire series-this may not be what you want to hear but you WILL regret it if you buy a starcaster-fender do make fairly good guitars but dont be swayed by the name because you have to play waht you are comfortable with and not the name on the headstock-cheap acoustic guitars like that will do you a big dis-service cos they will hurt your hands and make some of the more difficult chords really difficult or impossible to grab-a good sign to look out for is the"action"-how close the strings lay to the fretboard-the closer they are,the easier you will find it to play-also-try for light gauge phosphur bronze strings as they sound a load sweeter and wont be too hard to play.i appreciate that you are on a budget,but when it comes to playing the guitar there really is no substitute for a quality piece of kit so good luck and keep rockin

Shimano and Daiwa are still #1, followed by Quantum,Pflueger,Abu Garcia,Browning,and then Bass Pro Shops brand, and Cabelas brand.\n\n     If I were you, and I was looking for an inexpensive BC reel I would probably look into buying either a "Bass Pro Shops Mega Tournament"(which is $50) or a "low-end" Cabelas Brand reel. Looking at your question, I think you may be wanting to ask "What is a good SPIN-cast reel"? \n\n     In that regard, I would have to say the Daiwa "Procaster" ($24.99) would work well or any $20-30 "Zebco" reel. Match it with an "Ugly Stik" and you've got a good low-end combo.\n\nHowever, Shimano reels are fantastic and rarely have any mechanical trouble. They are expensive($99-400 dollars) but you can have them a "life-time". If you are really interested in buying a reel, get a Bass Pro Shop catalog and a Cabelas catalog. They are free, just go to there web-site and order one.

i haven't skated many blanks but i thought the blank decks from www.ccs.com are really good. they're cheap and they're really light. i dont know about durability though but i liked the one i skated.

i bought my enjoi off eBay for 50 bucks from tgm skateboards and there are other good boards there. when i got it i only had to replace the trucks because they were to heavy and the grip tape because it was flat. but i think eBay is the best place to buy them. \n\nif you looking for a good brand i recommend: enjoi,element,birdhouse,flip or zero

What do you call cheap? 100-200$ well I do not think that you can get much for that price. you say"cute brand" Sure the graphics are somthing but the underneath the graphics is what realllllly counts. Roxy skis are buy dynastar and yes dynastar is a good brand. And i do agree with you roxy graphics are c.u.t.e! But back on the subject, You shold look into k2s, dynastar,fisher and elans and heads. NOT ALL SKIS have "cute" graphics but they are GREAT skis. Come on while you are skiing do you think people look at the graphics of the skis? Good luck and have a great winter♥

Since he's still a beginner, I'd suggest that you find him a [brand new] set within the US$300-500 range and you'll have a handful of choices off the rack, including the bag. [Note: it's okay to buy USED 'name brand' sets from pro shops, but a NEW set always gives extra encouragement to beginners.]\n\nAnd since you were able to save him the $$ difference from his original budget, also suggest that you take him to a few of your favorite courses or even the ones that you've been wanting to!\n\nIt's a win-win situation...

i started with a package deal.. a brand called axis.. it included the board, boots, and bindings for about 300.. its a great beginner board, i never had any problems with it.. if i were you id look into some kind of package deal like that.. if you go to a snow sports store and ask them about it theyll prolly have something for you...im not really a fan of the whole renting idea.. its usually espensive enough for the lift ticket, i wouldnt wana be spending another 20, 30 bucks a pop for a daily snowboard.. i mean if you wanted to see what snowboarding is like, that might be a good idea but if youre pretty positive your going to stick with it, buying you own is the way to go

burton or kemper. thats all i ever use, and have been using for years. they both have some pretty mellow graphics, not super flashy. i she a beginner or advanced? fiberglass cores are nice. woodcores get waterlogged. metal edged to great turns!
