Or can anybody suggest some sticky stuff that won't leave a residue on the finish of my mandolin?

I have a sticky pickup (I think it is a peso pickup) but I don't want that sticky stuff on my Md305. Hense my looking for a clip-on pickup.
The peso pickup that I have has a plug that is like a...

Sorry, Putty :D

I'm not looking for a puddy-mounted option. I have a pickup that I used on my other mandolin and it left a really nasty residue on the instrument. I would rather just have a clip-on that is easily...

Hello, all
I've been really busy in life, going to college and such now. I've been thinking about getting a pickup for my Eastman MD305. There have been several times when I was playing *for* people...

I took from Kenny Hall's technique and used a method of bracing my index finger with my middle finger and my thumb for playing Irish music.
I haven't listened to much old-time music before but I'm...

I'm still considering. I'm going to spend some time with this album my grandpa got me- it came today and I'm listening to it right now, lovely stuff.

That's something I've been meaning to do for a long while, but never got around to it.

I can't use tabs because I'm blind. If they are in text, I may be able to figure it out, but, if they are in pictures, there's no way.

Hey, all,
It's been quite a while since I've posted. I've been picking a lot and learning a bunch. I'm enjoying playing irish music a lot. my girlfriend enjoys it too, which is wonderful. I've...

interesting idea, for sure. I haven't tried it yet, but am really tempted to.

So, I'm coming up on a year of playing mandolin (I started spring break of last year) and I just wanted to thank everybody who has helped me and talked to me and given advice over that year. Music is...

I hope it all works out for you, Kev, From what I've seen of you, you're a good guy with good intentions. Music is a beautiful gift and can open up so many doors.
Best of luck and good on you for...

Sounds like you've ran into a good bunch of people. I say go for it:) enjoy the music and the people, have fun with it!

Some people prefer flat-top and round holed mandolins I hear. Ultimently, it's up to you what you can purchase. What's your budget/where are you located? Maybe some people here can recommend some...

Ok, so, it won't truly sound like a bouzouki or a cittern if I do this.
Could I pay a place like guitar center to do something like this *for* me?
I'm considering it, but, I don't entirely know. I...

Yeah, I really don't want to break the bridge. I'm going to leave it for now, the instrument plays fine.
Thank you all for easing my fears:)
Happy playing, guys.

Hello, all,
I have a fender guitar (not sure which type, it's got a glossy finish and a long neck) but I was wondering, Could converting this to a bouzouki/cittern work? If so, how would I go about...

The base of the bridge is seated pretty nicely on the body of the mandolin, it's just the saddle that is tilting. I'll go try and fix this later today. Part of me is scared to, because this is the...

.... ah, they are supposed to tilt? That's good, I feel happy:) thanks, guys.

Hello, all
I have an eastman md305 and I have been playing it for quite a while now and enjoying it. I haven't posted because I've been too busy playing!
But, to my question: I think my saddle is...

I live in Las Vegas at the moment, but will be visitting my girlfriend when she goes to UNR. I am hoping to visit the local session when I go. I hope to come up once a month if possible.

Kev, man, I've gotta say, I'm just waking up, and that made my day reading that. Definately keep in touch with the family. Making friends is always something awesome and playing music with other...

My Dad always jokes with me, how I'm playing "that asian crap" because he asked me why I don't play my guitar anymore. I played him a bit of "Run to the Hills," by Iron Maiden on my mandolin. He now...

Eastman's are good. I have their md305 model from The Mandolin Store. If you're looking to get one online, I would highly suggest shopping at the mandolin store, or another store like it. They will...
