Guilty. That's based on the actual new price I paid for my car.
I have purchased two used instruments and had no issues. I have purchased quite a few odds and ends, also all good transactions, or at least I had very clear and satisfactory communication when...
I've already got the mandolin. I'm saving for the Harley. :) I just did a 2000 mile trip on my "not a Harley".
I play both. My mandola is an arch top F hole instrument, and has a beautiful "singing" voice, in the way that a mandolin does. I primarily use it in an acoustic duo with guitar, playing...
Thanks for the link. I caught about 45 minutes, what a great show!
Those mandolin players play a completely different type of instrument than I do and are looking for a different kind of sound.
I have been using the ProPlec 1.5mm for years now, and still think it...
I was just about to type the same thing. I have never played one, but those two pointers make me do the happy dance every time I see one.
Score! Pics are required.
I have seen pro drummers in concert using hardware devices that display their tempo based on a trigger on a drum, and have wanted something similar for myself. If this software works well it could...
That was #######' great!
edit: I didn't think was a dirty word
Agreed, those caught my attention as well.
Enjoy! I have one, and it's a great little instrument. I think I prefer it in CGDA rather than GDAE. Tenor tuning seems to bring out something special, where in octave tuning it sounds more like a...
uhm, no? A mandola would be in the same tuning an octave higher. You could attempt to put heavy strings on a a mandolin and tune down, but it would likely be a whole lot less than ideal.
your link has an F in it.
From what I understand this was a short lived experiment on Eli's part. He went back to double strings. It sounds fine, basically like you would expect an archtop guitar to sound. In my opinion...
Yeah I guess it is about time! Go to: chipbooth.com and check out the song Sugar Mountain in the music player.
This song was recorded a year or so ago with this mandola and one of Lawrence's...
Well, it took me almost three years to make it happen but it's finally officially mine! :mandosmiley:
The are definitely useless outdoors without a windscreen.
I have enjoyed the KSM137s that I use at work more than I expected. They are a reasonably neutral sounding, general purpose small diaphragm condenser. I think I prefer them over my SM81s these...
Yep, that's extraordinary!
I play both, and if I had to only have one I would choose the mandola. It is the perfect instrument to accompany a guitar, and melody playing is so rich and sonorous. Don't get me wrong, the OM is...
Just a PSA, Lawrence Smart is the camp lutheir at the Targhee Bluegrass Camp this year, and he has with him four (!) of his mandolas, three A styles and an F. One is a completely new design, the...
Great interview!
When it comes to chord construction and voicing, I rank the importance of notes. I may have a different concept than some others but it goes like this:
In a triad:
1) The 3rd is the most...
