So other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

But really, I don't see why they shouldn't sell it. They're honestly disclosing the damage, so what's the...

"No frills" generally means that there aren't a lot of decorative extras, such as fancy inlay. It looks like the peghead on the 520 is not bound, and there is no inlay design. Also, the wood may not...

The title pretty much says it all; I just saw that Netflix is streaming highlights from the Flatt and Scruggs TV show.

Amazing musicians, and the sound quality is surprisingly good. I just wish...

I can't say anything about the The Loar, but I'm very happy with my KM 505.

What's the point of the "Florida Extension?" I mean, are there people who really play that far up the neck? Are they just decorative?

No mando when they appeared on Conan.

Love this song, and the video has an A style O hole. But to my ear it sounds more like he's playing a guitar; too much bass and sustain for a mando.

"But if I read it right the OP was dealing with TablEdit not TefView? So there should be not problem with saving your preferences."

You read it right, but I wrote it wrong.* I am using TefView....

Rigel 110 in the classifieds. NFI

Probably a "love it or hate it" instrument. Personally, I think it looks great. No idea how it sounds.

That did it. Thanks.

Again, what a great tool. Thanks to all who have contributed songs.

I really love the tabledit program. It's by far the easiest way I've found to learn new songs, and I can't believe it's free!

One question: Some of the songs don't seem to display properly, and it...

Spruce -That's a really interesting idea. I'd have thought that the frets on guitars and mandocellos would be spaced differently.

If you'll excuse me, I'm going to google "harmony archtop."

To the original poster - Where did you see this "Martin"? The other thread, and common sense, suggest that they cannot legally be imported to the US, or anywhere else that Martin has protected its...

It might be too long a drive for you, but every month Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem has oldtime, bluegrass, blues, and swing jams, as well as an open mic night.

It's not a terrible drive if you're...

Wildwood Flower is pretty, and not too hard. Also, I think this site has a tabledit version, which makes it much easier to play correctly.

Some of the suspend chords in James Taylor songs also only require two fingers.

If you're willing to consider an A, I bought a Kentucky 505 about a year ago. I'm very pleased with it, though I have no idea how it compares to the similarly priced Rover and the Loar Fs.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I bought the Snark, and I'm very pleased with it.

Incidentally, is it my imagination, or does the Snark tuner resemble a Snork?

FYI - the Snorks were a rather...

Are there any you love? Any you hate?

Journeybear, here's a good link for Iron and Wine with some mandolin content. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but the first song is pretty good.

BGJunkie, thanks for the link to Nashville Oldtime's site. It's great to have the mp3 and sheet music in the same place.

Thanks for the suggestions; one of the jam leaders suggested I bring a recorder so I could get up to speed.

So far I have rough versions of Whiskey Before Breakfast, Angeline the Baker, and...

I just started a very similar thread. If a moderator felt like merging the two, I wouldn't object.

Mandozine lists the following as "essential" old time tunes.

Soldier's Joy
Liberty
Forked...

I'm trying to figure out how to slide from one note to another. I can get a pretty good sound on the A and E strings, but not on the G or D. The texture of the wound strings makes a loud creaking...

I attended my first OT jam last night (at Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem, PA). It was a lot of fun, except I don't know any of the songs. This isn't a surprise, as it isn't the music I grew up with,...
