Reviews

Pretty nice collection of popular classical pieces at around medium to difficult hardness with proper labelings. Quality printing. Though I do find the paper has a tendency to absorb humidity, and when I accidentally had some water leaked from my bottle it left with some yellowish ring-like residues.
