In case anyone is interested.... I've developed a similar technique for mandolin. With this method, there is no need for the much-maligned capo.

Maybe he's left-handed.....;)
Just a little bit of friendly (if not helpful?) advice. Threads like these about hangers and/or stands typically also contain a warning to watch out for materials that could damage a nitrocellulose...
I saw this this morning and remember the Divinyls well. Part of the soundtrack to my youth (high school, in particular).
Was struck by the double-whammy that she was dealt - battling MS which can...
That's funny, Jed... and it would make sense. I'm a kid from the 80's - and in my mid-40's. I guess I was quoting myself from 25-30 years ago... whoa, I think I need to lie down :disbelief:
Terzinator,
I LOVE those blacktop too! Yours looks like a beauty...Looks like it has the lighter finish on the back and sides? I really like the blacktop and tortoise binding combo. To quote the...
I've wondered this a bit myself. I have a "Tangerine Burst" which is of the lighter orange-red variety (with black-button Waverlies). I happen to prefer it over the darker, more traditional bursts...
Ahhh, thanks for the correction Brett. I thought the headstock inlay looked different from mine, but in my search I could only find reference to her "vintage A". Should have trusted my eyes.

From the videos I've seen, it's a Vintage A.... but she may have others. I see references to an octave and a lot of pix with a Mandocaster :grin:
I'm not generally a fan of the dark bursts ( like the traditional "cremona" variety?), but I fell in love with the Collings' apricot burst that is on my MT2. I like the color scheme and the fact...
This guy is pretty highly-recommended when it comes to arm rests.... I would assume the same may be true for his TRCs

I think someone's reading "The Cafe" in "The Bathroom". :))
I could watch/listen to James Taylor sing the phone book as long as he was pickin' along with it. Saw him in concert a couple of summers ago which was on my "bucket list". Outstanding!! If you've...
Well, not $1500, but there's a pretty decent looking MT in the MC Classifieds fight now for $1700.

As far as the material things: Snark clip-on tuner (red, of course;) some nice socks, tickets to the local symphony, tickets to a local production of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, shirt, candy,...
Stupendo!! Molto divertente!!
Guiseppe,
Is there a place where your music - especially the Christmas tunes - are available for download in MP3 format? Don't know if posting a link to that...
Thanks, Texas. Your neighbors to the south really know how to put these babies together.
I really like the one-piece back too. I know from reading the various discussion here that there really...
This is VERY sound advice. Money spent on "upgrading" individual parts will almost never be re-couped, especially when installed on what was initially an inexpensive instrument. You would be money...
Yeah, I've had difficulty searching in a number of the forums I read as well. I've found it helpful to go to your trusty search engine (e.g. Google) and type the search terms there. If I know the...
I'll chime in since I had the same questions a while back, but only to give you some help on search terms. I found it helpful to search using the terms "oval or f hole mandolin". The second search...
Sorry... better search terms are "changing tuners on mandolin" in Google and then expand the selection of results from Mandolin Cafe.
I know that, among the more reasonable-priced options, Gotohs are fairly well-regarded. One thing to strongly consider is that many tuning machine changes are not a simple plug-and-play endeavor. I...
Introducing the newest addition to the Caboose66 family: a Collings Tangerine Burst MT2 with one-piece back and Waverlies. Purchased from our very-own Mandolin Cafe classifieds.
What can I say...
Cigman,
Welcome from a fellow newbie. First of all I have to say it's heartwarming to hear you say that music is helping you deal with your situation. I know from a past time in my life that it is...
By the way, your arrangement and playing of White Christmas is wonderful (molto Bella)! Honestly, it is in my top 3 favorite versions of that song. Your incorporation of harmonics is a beautiful...
