Takamines
By EXW Staff - Equipment Reviews - Feb 26, 2008
| | What's the best acoustic guitar for worship? This question could cause a rumble. For us, we feel that the higher end Takamines are ideal for worship.

UE-10 Pro
By EXW Staff - Equipment Reviews - June 16, 2005
| | UE-10 Pro Features:

While the UE-10 Pro was designed for professional applications, it is just as well suited for use wit...read more |

First off, if you don't need a sequencer the S90 may not be for you. We wanted to get the most bang for our buck. We like it for the sounds, ease of use and it's great weighted action. The sequencer is a nice feature that may be needed at some point but for the pure pianist, it may be a...read more |
