Just received the saxaphone.
It came without reeds and the B key is broken. It looks very nice but worthless with broken keys. I could not find a phone number to speak with a customer service agent and that is frustrating. I shouldn't have to wait 24-48 to hear back about a broken $200 purchase we were eagerly awaiting.
I would never have believed I could get a product this good for this price. I've been a guitarist since the age of five, but always had trouble remembering chord formations on other string instruments. This let me bypass the problem with a really fantastic sound. Even allows claw hammer on a six string with a sound I craved.
This is a beautiful banjo. I have owned three 5-string banjos since the early 70's, the best of these being a $150 Fender. The Glarry banjo surpasses all these visually and in playability. Very easy to begin playing right out of the box. One of the reasons I wanted a new banjo was that the neck of the Fender didn't feel good on my fingers, but the Glarry banjo feels so nice that I often pick it up in the afternoon just for pleasure, not just for recording as I did before.

I have avoided finger picks all these years (mostly using a guitar pick or my bare fingers) but the Glarry banjo inspired me to invest in metal finger picks and finally learn to play correctly. One problem (and the reason for 4 stars) is that the action is a little high as you go up the neck toward the drum head, though this was the same with all my banjos. I am thinking of having a technician do what he can to lower the action, but even this is not a deal-breaker. Very happy with this purchase.
Quality was SO awesome for the amount I paid. My son LOVES it! I just wish it came with instructions on how to put it together. I put it together wrong the first time, googled how to put it together so it'd be right!
Hopefully I don't hit the character limit.
Pros:
I want to start by saying some good things about this instrument. It sounds like a mandolin. This is huge considering the price. If you're like me and just want to try out mandolin, this is a good way to get into it. It is a full sized instrument that (I assume) plays like any other mandolin. It comes with a set of strings on the mandolin and a new set of strings in the box which is nice. The bridge seems like a nice piece of rosewood or somethin ...Hopefully I don't hit the character limit.

The bridge seems like a nice piece of rosewood or something similar, and it is easily adjustable with a set of pliers. The tailpiece is a nice piece of metal with cool design on it.
Cons:
Now here's the long part. Keep in mind that this instrument is insanely cost effective and there are going to be issues with any instrument in this price range. I am most dissatisfied with the manufacturing defects. I would be ok if there were one or two issues here but there are several, let me list them:
- My biggest disappointment with this instrument is the fretboard. See image. It seems like its a decent piece of wood but it has several cuts in it that look like the person making them made fret channels in several of the wrong places. Maybe the factory employees are still learning how to make these instruments since these are kinda new. Luckily on my instrument, the wrong cuts are higher up on the fretboard and I don't think I will be good enough at mandolin to get off of the cowboy chords so it wont effect me, but its something to keep in mind.
- The finish. The finish looks fine but on parts of the back, where the sunburst fades to black there is a section of the paint that was obviously not applied right because it is a thick, rough, satin like finish where the rest is smooth glossy
- On the front there are several black flakes under the finish which is annoying but whatever.
- The tuners have a LOT of play in them, but I guess that is expected in this price point. You can tune it pretty well but its a little tricky to get there.
Service Team:
I'm sorry for this problem, I have feedback the technical staff to follow up. I sent you an email, hoping to give you a satisfactory solution.
I got this as a present for myself for my birthday. It came on time which was lovely :) It smelled kinda terrible (like warehouse-y) which I expected, but a quick wash before use fixed that up. It works really well!! Sounds amazing and every note plays.
If I had to buy a melodica again I'd but it from here.
For $50 this is a great value.
I don't know what they mean by "impact molded CRS hoops" but the rims are chrome-plated steel, just like any other drum.
All the lug casings and hardware are lightweight, so you will not want to crank anything.
The strap and drum key are pretty cheesy, and we will never use these sticks.
I put a Remo suede tenor head on the top with a lot of foam, not very tight, and this will now be a good drum for our youth group.
For a beginning violin, I find it to be great. I don't know how it compares to others but I can tell you it tunes and sounds good after setting it up. The Melodica is awesome also. Great way to bring a piano with you and have fun just playing around. I prefer it by far over the cheap little electronic keyboards that are always off pitch. The melodica actually sounds decent and fun.
I'm quite fussy about sound and this instrument is just amazingly good.
I can't believe they sell an instrument of this quality so cheaply and with a carry case too.
I bought a snare drum for hubby as he fancied one for Christmas - unfortunately it was damaged by the courier- Customer service was excellent- speedy, friendly and sent another product which has arrived in time for Christmas - very impressed - Thanks Glarry
I couldn't be more satisfied with the company and the product i received.. its beautiful and i know my Son is going to love it!! Thank you so Much Glarry!.
Amazing! It's a great student beginner saxophone. It was half the price it would have been to rent one for the rest of the school year. The added touches on engravements are that extra something to make you feel like your holding something other than a beginners instrument. It's perfect for my 7th grader to learn on and feel we will get several years use out of it. Great value coming with case accessories and the reeds! Was even delivered a few days earlier than expected.
Sceptical that a £10 instrument would be any cop but saw a YouTube video and thought I'd give it a punt. I was very impressed with the sound and the tuning and it's really good for a kind of ska/reggae tune. The kids love it too and fortunately, cleaning it up is a straightforward, if somewhat icky, process. I can't fault it really; three months on and it's still in tune and still plays well.
This melodica is so adorable, ans the fact that it has the keys on it helps begginers like me so much. I did the fast shipping for it, but it actually came a whole lot sooner then even the quick shipping.
