    Re: Who needs the 4th finger anyway:)

    If you play tunes without open strings in the first position, the pinky is pretty much required.
  2. Re: Now here's a project. Not a mando but cool anyway.

    Hi,

    What year do you think it might be? It has to be a teen or 190x if not earlier.

    I really would love to see this project as you go. This sort of restoration work interests me. Do you have...

    Re: 2012 Monroe-Style Mandolin Camp

    Fourth year for me. I really enjoy the weekend each year...good weather, ood lessons, good food, good company, good music. What's not to like?

    It is really something to watch very accomplished...
  6. Re: Rattlesnake rattle - required equipment or accessory?

    I have always had one in my mandolin. My little girl even has one in hers, and it was her idea.

    Tradition is what connects us to those that are long gone from the Earth. I like that.

    Re: What make of Mandolin & who cares ?.

    Funny, and true! She keeps asking me "Is this the one that will make you happy?" She clearly does not understand.

    Re: What make of Mandolin & who cares ?.

    Here is my philosophy: Play what you want. I don't play well enough to own my Duff, but I don't care. When it is in the case, and I am reading or watching TV, I can hear it calling to me.

    And...

    "Run of the mill stuff" was referring to Facebook comments. Nothing to indicate stress in the biz or family emergency. I understand angst when someone is trusted with our instruments. I still plan...

    Re: big joe's guitarworks

    I have to say that I was on his site this sometime earlier this week, and I was surprised by the lack of instruments for sale. I think he had only 2 or 3 mandolins. Usually, he had an eclectic...

    Re: Mike Compton - Rotten Taters

    I am glad that Mike decided to do this, and I hope there are more to follow. No one can play a mandolin better.

    Joe,

    Thanks for putting the book out. I think it is a great resource.

    I can print all pages or one page of the pdf. In fact, I printed it double sided in black in and white because I like...

    Re: Duff F5

    The Duff that Tom Quinn references is mine and I agree with his assessment. It is a joy to play and to listen to.
  19. Re: Play Like A Legend - Bill Monroe Tunes & Songs for Mandolin

    I had heard about this book being in the works and look forward to it. I always find Joe's material useful.

    Re: Very best Monroe style player

    I take the question of "Who is the best Monroe style player" to mean who actively works in that style (or a close derivative of it), not who can play like Monroe if they chose.

    I have to agree...

    Praises for Paul Duff

    Hi, fellow mandoliners,

    It has been a few months since I have been on the site and I wanted to share with you all my experiences of having my first custom mandolin built.

  24. Re: Fiddler in Band DINGED my BEST mandolin . .. !

    This sounds like jealousy over his expensive instrument.

    I believe most people consider their instruments highly personal and valued items regardless of their cost.

    Sorry about your mandolin, OP. It does suck and would make me ill for a while too. So would being told abruptly to "get over it".
