I disagree with the *tuners don't matter* crowd. I've had tuners on various instruments that had the annoying tendency to slip; it's not unheard of. But, $100 thrown at good tuners vs saving that...

This forum is way better than any of the banjer sites...
To answer your original question, I do think it's better to focus on one instrument. If you scatter yourself, you are less likely to...

You won't get all the images, but at least you can read the article. Perhaps the author will...
If you've managed to get three different opinions, then you should be able to find enough instruments to try out and make up your own mind. :P
Try to create a timeline. What is true one decade...

I miss Seattle... six years, and I moved away, why? Thanks for adding another reason to move back! :P
We had a good laugh a few years ago on the Pittsburgh bicycle board. It all started with a discussion of a bike theft caught on camera, and the this random new account shows up and it quickly became...
Personally, I think a proper set up on any instrument is the difference between someone that plays and an instrument that stays in the case for years at a time. I had a relatively cheap Washburn, and...
I'm a big fan of the Sennheiser HD 280 which runs for around $100. I went through a phase where I was mostly making music on synths and computers and I was extremely happy with these. I've also used...
I don't really think of my KM-1000 as having much bling at all... I find that the lineup, up and down, tends to be priced according to workmanship and cost of materials, rather than any superfluous...
Caught them live at the Pittsburgh Arts Fest this past summer, but didn't pick up a cd. Now I don't have an excuse!
It depends on the jam? I mean, really, until you show up (even if you just stand there with an instrument in hand without playing), you really aren't going to have that personalized knowledge of what...
Maybe it comes with a genie if you rub it the right way?
I think that it's more of a community than a culture... various communities, geared towards specific interests. I think when I use the word culture, I tend to not limit to a given instrument but...
The best guitar teacher that I ever had taught me how to listen to music and figure out how to play the parts without looking at music or tabs... perhaps he could take that sort of approach with you,...
I almost bought that on ebay, solely due to the fact that the guy listing it lived five minutes down the road (presuming the same model). Beautiful mandolin, I hope it plays as nicely as it looks! I...
Beautiful violin. In the grand scheme of things, $250 wouldn't be wasted on it. I'll be spending around that to have a crack repaired on my violin (exact opposite side of a crack I had repaired...
another vote for the welders tip files.. wide spectrum of sizes and you're only spending a few bucks. They worked a charm on my cheaper Washburn guitar and my Washburn mandolin as well as my niece's...
Steve,
1. I bought my first mandolin in 2003.. it was a combination of Thile/Nickel Creek and the realization that I had already been playing guitar and violin for close to a decade (at that time)...

I love my Kentucky km-1000. Assembled in China with American woods. Chinese craftsmanship can be superb. If you do import...

I think that some of you took the OP WAY too literally. Great post! :D There's almost always room for improvement, that doesn't make it necessary to learn a song on multiple levels, it just means...
Just chiming in to add support to this... my fiancé (fiddle player, singer, and guitar) frequently complains about the male dominance in the BG scene. She complains that she was always treated as an...
Their pricing scheme is impossible to predict. I first noticed the game when I was in the market to by a Kitchenaid stand mixer a few years ago. I just happened to first catch the product when it was...
