    Re: Bulk single strings at just strings

    Like Pete, I use the bulk singles from JustStrings to make custom CBOM sets (for which sets cannot be found). I am completely satisfied with these strings. I also appreciate the absence of the...

    Re: Best mandolin stand for the money

    I have the Hercules violin stand, and it it * almost * perfect. Very stable, folds small, and comes with a carry bag. However, I have found that the spacing for the locking hanger mechanism is...

    Re: Polishing a Blue Chip pick

    I have found that the best way to polish a pick is to rub the edge repeatedly over eight or ten strings, usually grouped in pairs. :)

    Re: Sierra Hull's official Black River Video

    The "official" video was an interesting art piece as a whole, and I enjoyed it once, but to me it took too much away from the song.

    But that live version -- WOW!!! That was a killer...

    Re: Road trip question

    I can't help with your question about Savannah, but good luck on the trip! That's one heck of a road trip. I made that trip from Albany, New York many years ago and it's still a deep source of...

    Re: Why no Italian genre?

    I'm glad this has come to an agreeable closure. Now that it's done, I'll come clean here. I've *always* been overwhelmed by the number of categories on the forum, so the way I view MC (nearly...

    That's really nice, Robbie! Thanks for sharing it. I'll surely be sending this one around to my guitar friends.

    {kidding}

    I propose we just streamline the forum into 2 categories:

    1) Bluegrass
    2) No part o' nothing

  10. Re: Live Online Performance & Discussion Featuring Weber Mandolin

    That was my path, too! I've got the tunes now, but I'm still waiting for the opportunity to see SHEL live.

    David

    PS: Since I am writing, check out the D-hole Weber Octar. That's a completely...

    Re: Where are we all going with recorded music?

    And they get a very respectable amount of play in my rotation, too! Thanks, Bruce! Some of my favorite arrangements are on your recordings.

    Re: Eastwood Mandocello is pre-funding

    Well, of course you should try the electric bass guitar! Plenty of us here started on bass of some sort. And it's a great instrument.

    Now, if you're looking to take inspiration from bass in that...
  13. Re: Madolin,Octave, Or Mendocello? I can't decide!

    For the project you describe, I'd also recommend you consider the mighty Weber Octar. Lots going on sonically with those.

    Re: Eastwood Mandocello is pre-funding

    This instrument is interesting, but I can't tell that it's been well thought-out. It seems more like a Frankencello to me. The description says "most specifications identical to the standard Warren...
  15. Re: recommendations for tuner and metronome - iPhone

    Consider this a second recommendation for Peterson's iStrobosoft. That's a really fine iPhone tuner!

    I've used Tempo as a metronome on the iPhone, but I did like it a lot more when it did a lot...
  16. Re: Breedlove production moving to China -- Will Weber be next?

    I own a high end Weber made and signed by Bruce Weber, and a high end Breedlove made and signed by Kim Breedlove. They are both fantastic instruments, from visual presentation, through fit & finish,...

    I'm no luthier, but I suggest you address that fretboard before you get too hung up on precision nut/string height adjustment. It looks to me like you will have a bit of fret work to do on that...

    Re: Dawg Picks Revisited

    The DAWG picks are really different from all the other picks I have and use (I use a variety). They really are (to me) more "different" than any of the others. They are not my "go-to" picks, but I...
  21. Re: Article: Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen in a special Benefit C

    Yeah. That would be a great show to see. They ought to stream it via Concert Window for extra exposure/donations. I don't know if Concert Window is set up for benefit shows, but I'll bet it would...

    Given the circumstances you describe, I'm pretty sure I would eat the $150 and order the same capo in the correct size for the instrument you'll be playing with her. You can start off by saying...
  23. Re: Guitar player needs advice regarding stringing a mando

    I also use the frets.com method, and recommend it. Also, since Gryphon is my local shop I am super careful whenever I change strings. I live in mortal terror of having to take my mandolin to Frank...

    Re: what happened to the fender mando-strat?

    Does anyone know how long the original run went, back in the day? This seems like a second flash in the pan. A year ago this forum was all lit up about the release, and now they're gone?
