Bluegrass has dedicated followings in all English speaking countries. Just as the method of Bluegrass Mandolin playing has to be emulated thus the 'texture' rather than the accent of the songs has to...

A Dimarzio DP130BK Acoustic Pickup is approximately $US 50.00 in the USA. It is about the size and depth of three stacked quarters. Its main advantage is that the positioning of the pickup on the...

Hi,

I have a two part question.

1. Is there a packaged EADGC set for the 10 string mandolin?
2. If I make a set up from strings I already have. What would C be in the gauge sequence of E -...

PS - I have bigger Orange and Behringer amps for Bass and Guitar, Pocket Rockets for playing in the wee hours - more slimming than snacks. Boxes, Wahs etc. - but this Tino is very impressive.

I read Mike Bromley's postings with awe and wonder if Mike has forgotten more than most people will learn about tech issues on this mortal coil. Nevertheless here's something simple. I bought an...

I am a former Customs Officer with 27 years experience and plenty of CITES dilemnas under my belt. All British Commonwealth countries (inter alia Canada, Australia and New Zealand) are similar as is...

Really Good - reminds me of the design elements I like in telecasters. I recently bought a Kentucky KM-300E and am beginning to get into using the sustain of this mandolin type. Can you post a...

Brad,

Thank You. This sheet has better resolution and is easier on the eyes than my MS Word version.

A few days ago I bought a well used Stradolin (even wear all up the frets but enough brass left for me). It is a deep brown and seems to be made of bubinga (or a similar tropical tonewood). The...

Thanks Martin - Just as you said and very simple to make the transaction in Australian Dollars. The shipping was Aus$70.00 - half of what I expected as 'usual'.

Hi Martinjonas. I should have included that the Kentucky KM-300E was an equal consideration alongside the Eastman Mandocaster and the Mandobird. Could you please direct me to the site of the $214.00...

I have been reading the electric mando posts (good advice such as why to consider a 4-string rather than an 8) in solid body mandolins. I have mainly looked at Eastman Mandocasters and Mandobirds -...

Can somebody direct me to a web site with chords for the 10 string CGDAE mandolin.

You are a bass player and I assume you mean bass guitar. Eastman's Mandocaster and Epiphone's Mandobird VIII are solid body 8 stringed mandolins. Nothing strange for an electric guitarist. They hold...

IDENTIFICATION SOLVED - Thanks Allenhopkins. I followed the link you provided and identified the instrument you suggested as a Portugese Guitar that lead to the Cittern that lead to various 10 string...

Can somebody please identify a mandolin (or perhaps a mandolin-like instrument) I am thinking of acquiring. Unfortunately I don't have it's scale and I have only seen a photo. It is a ten string flat...

Thanks very much Mandroid and Devilstone. I think I have the answer - now to do the science!

I ordered a Dean Mondo Mando from a catalogue (I live in an Australian rural town). I didn't expect it to be a 9 string guitar. I took off the guitar strings it came with and substituted strings from...
