Dynaflex Pro Excerciser

spacer
Note from Chuck: I’ve been using one of these and I think it really does help.The Dynaflex allows you to achieve the competitive edge no matter what instrument you play. This hand held gyroscope builds and conditions hands, wrist and forearms while also increasing hand speed and endurance. It’s like having personal musician’s gym in the palm of your hand. Simply start the rotation and then with a rocking motion, build up the gyroscopic speed and feel the burn. Great for keeping the playing muscles toned when away from your instrument or for pre-show warm up. Use in conjunction with the Planet Waves Vari-grip for the complete finger, hands, and arm workout. $24.99

Humidity & Temperature Sensor
Maintaining safe humidity is critical to keeping your acoustic guitar in top playing condition. Winter is especially tough, as the humidity in many houses and apartments plummets to levels unsafe for guitars. The Planet Waves Humidity & Temperature Sensor (HTS) provides key the info you need to help maintain proper climatic conditions to avoid instrument damage. The HTS digitally indicates accurate relative humidity levels ranging from low (under 20%) to 99%. Temperature is displayed in both Farenheit or Centigrade ranging from -32oF to 122oF. A programmable set point monitors the minimum humidity desired. When humidity is below the set point, an icon (water drop) will indicate it is necessary to use a humidifier. The high and low memory indicates the highest and lowest temperature and humidity levels your instrument has been exposed to, as well as the date and time of that high and low, since the last reset. Product dimensions: 4" x 2.75" $29.99

Headstock Tuner
Note from Chuck: I’ve accumulated a bunch of tuners over my 30 years at Ace Music & Hometown. Different ones work better for different uses and circumstances, but my current favorite for everyday use is this one. It fits neatly on the headstock and can usually be left there all the time even when I put the guitar in its case. It’s lit so I doesn’t matter if the stage is dark, and the display is easy to read even for my 50 year-old eyes.

The Planet Waves Chromatic Headstock Tuner precisely tunes guitars, basses and many other stringed instruments utilizing the instrument's vibrations rather than sound - no direct sound or electronic signal is required. Using an optimally positioned, highly sensitive piezo transducer and backlit LCD display, the Headstock Tuner allows you to tune quickly and accurately in noisy or dimly-lit environments where many tuners fail. The compact, lightweight design doesn't add cumbersome mass to your instrument and delivers clear viewing from any angle. Simply clip on and tune up!
TW100
Note from Chuck: Getting a drum properly in tune makes a big difference in its sound but can be quite a challenge. We’ve had a really positive response from the guys who have tried these. It’s especially beneficial to a help a beginning drummer get a better sound, but even experienced drummers have been impressed with how it helps them get a better sound or get there more easily.

Precise tuning used to take years of experience and tuning each drum often felt like it took years. No more. The TW100 measures actual head tension on an easy to read meter, so you can record the numbers and duplicate your best tuning time after time. Or you can use the suggested sample tunings in the directions. Either way Tension Watch lets you spend more time playing and less time tuning. $59.99
