Mine is attached similarly on my Columbia, except I run the strap underneath the fingerboard extension on the other side of the horn. Kinda depends on what strap you have as to what works best.

Wholly inappropriate.

As it's been alluded to in prior posts, Class A doesn't necessarily have anything to do with volume. It's just a design choice, more specifically, it refers to the conduction angle of the active...

I really, really like close micing with figure-eight ribbons on strings. Condensers are really detailed but a good ribbon is my favorite any day... one of my favorite mics in the world is the RCA...

Piezos usually have relatively high source impedance, much like traditional electric guitar pickups. The level coming out of the transducer can be relatively strong... this depends more on...

"Star Grounding" just means that all of the ground connections meet at a single point (link is here, this site has some pretty good wiring advice and some very clear instructions). Often a convenient...

Glad things worked out well for you. These sorts of things can be a tad daunting at first but the circuits are very simple to build. I definitely endorse the idea of a star or single point ground as...

You can damage a pot with too much heat, especially if the base of the pot is made out of plastic. I've repaired a couple of guitars that had miniature style potentiometers with plastic bases... you...

To my understanding, the DYN-G and the DYN-M are the same transducer. The only difference is in the cable length.

"Watson Blues" is a favorite of mine. I believe there's a transcription in the Tone Poems book.

Mandolin related: Seeing Hamilton de Holanda play solo at the 2006 Symposium, having not really heard the man play before. One of the most incredible things I think I've ever seen. Absolutely scared...

Sweet, dude! I'm back up there next week... we should do zouks at 50 paces!

All right Clark! We need to have a battle of the zouks now...
Who's that guy in the picture? You didn't get rid of your Rip Van Winkle beard, did you?

Interesting... I'd heard about a few of these methods and actually did something similar. After an injury, my mandolin sounded "asleep" as I hadn't played much in 6 months or so... I put a rather...

Whiskey is awfully nice.

I made one from a piece of sheet leather and some leather bootlace/lashing type material once. They're not terribly hard to fashion.

I had a dugain bone pick for awhile. Well-made picks but I can't fathom how any mandolin player would ever need/want a pick that thick. Would work great for Django style guitar, probably...

"The Score" by The Fugees.
Lots of Jon Brion bootlegs.
"Joe's Garage" by Frank Zappa.

Absolutely no mandolin content.

Hey, that's great news! I'm really happy to hear that you've got a plan, and maybe a little bit of hope! I'm sure you'll be back picking at 100% soon.

I did this to my mandolin about a year ago and I really prefer the feel. I was starting to wear through in a couple spots and it was a little annoying so I just went for it. I started with long, even...

Steroids are not the only way to treat tendonitis and promote healing. Not everyone responds well to local steroids like cortisone. A cortisone shot will typically involve an injection of a local...

Yikes. Tendonitis is scary, isn't it? I have a bit of experience here, so I'll try to share a few things...

I've battled tendonitis in my left arm for the last four years or so. Tendon injuries...

You could always just cast one out of solid lead. That ought to work.

Electrically, all cables look pretty much the same. Any claims of "tonal differences" from cable to cable is totally subjective, and, in my opinion, highly suspect. When you pay more for cables you...
