Funny..., I just got an email from a Nigerian prince...

Well, I'll be skinned, and hung on the wall! (to quote Jed Clampett...)

I looked up the specs and yes, they are indeed omni. Just didn't seem like it in actual use. When I've worn one, (admittedly...

Mike, the church I used to go to had at least one of these. It's a true "lapel mic" in that it's meant to be clipped to the suit lapel with a tie-clasp sort of a gizmo, and is pretty directional,...

So..., what IS the place he should start, in order to make sure that he doesn't waste any of his precious time in finding out what HE likes...?

Just out of curiosity, what gives rise to the idea that a particular brand of string or type of pick sounds best on every example of a given brand of mandolin? Do all Stanley mandolins sound exactly...

Really high-level jams are not "feel-good, all-inclusive, Kumbaya" experiences!

The term originated with the early-days-of-jazz "cutting sessions", which were, pure and simple, competition between...

Have you ever moved in to sing harmony with someone on the chorus of a song in a jam session, only to find that their attention is not on the people trying to harmonize with them, but on a sheet of...

Before you are compelled to assemble a weighty tome of music and lyrics, I'd invite you to step back for just a minute and consider what the essence of a "jam session" really is...

When my daughter was in Grade 9, she won the city science fair with this exact concept, except she started the other way round, by looking for the ratio between adjacent steps of the tempered scale....

Absolutely! It's a very mooo-ving experience, playing the cowbell...

The OP is hardly a "newb", as you put it! He's got way over 2 thousand posts, and if he's proficient enough to be recording an album, you gotta think he knows his stuff...

So let's look at the...

This is a prime example of how to ask a question badly!

1) A microphone can be used to record anything! " mandolin, OM, fiddle, banjo and guitar" ( I assume that OM and guitar are the same...

Loar vs. Kentucky...?

Pardon my ignorance, I didn't realize that Loar was in the final four...? Besides, hasn't March Madness been over for a couple of weeks now?

The way I heard it (straight from Glen Duncan) was that he was playing for Bill and it was their very first gig right after Bill had gotten his mandolin back from the Gibson factory after the famous...

Spoken as a gentleman! Apology accepted, and topic forgotten.

Well, Mr. CAPITAL LETTERS indignant Mandolin-Tele, if you'll check the 2nd and 3rd posts in this thread, you'll find that they are 4 minutes apart. I was typing my reply while you were posting, and...

There's only two ways to turn it...

Try one way and if it does what you want it to, bingo! If it doesn't, go the other way...

(Hint: it's possible to lower the bridge by turning the...

An old Groucho Marx skit:

Patient: "Doctor, it hurts when I do this...."

Doctor: "Well, then don't do that!"

How often can you use Polish...?

Every time you visit Poland, I should think.... :)

Apparently the people who ran the festival he was appearing at disagreed...
