Editorial Policy

A good instrument page should help a player decide, not sell them a dream. These are the standards behind every StudioKitHQ guide, from a first ukulele to a studio interface.

What a player can rely on

• Specs come from the seller. Key counts, scale length, wattage, inputs, sample rates and included accessories are taken from the listing as published. Missing details are marked as not listed, never filled in.
• Same rule for every pick. Products in a gear type are ranked with one fixed method, described on how we rank. Nobody tweaks a ranking by hand to favor a brand.
• No paid placement. We earn a commission on some purchases through our links. Brands cannot pay to appear, move up, or have a weakness left out, and we take no sponsored posts or paid links.
• Clear about AI. Software reads the listings; AI tools help draft the plain-language notes on who each pick suits. Any figure in those notes must match the listing data or it is cut before the page is built.
• No sound claims we cannot back. We do not describe how an instrument sounds or feels in the hand, because we have not played it. We say what the listing states and who that suits.

What we leave out

Prices and star ratings change daily, so they are not on our pages. We do not give lessons, repair advice or electrical modification steps for amps and gear; for those, see a qualified tech.

When we get it wrong

Tell us through the contact page with the page and the detail that is wrong. We correct it in the next build and do not quietly remove the mistake. How the site earns money is explained in our affiliate disclosure.
