Well, I feel like this almost requires a new thread and that this is a bit of a hijack, but then again I am the OP, haha. Lose track of a thread and look what can happen. I really enjoyed hearing...

whole bunch of scottish tunes. also, when joy kills sorrow, from bela fleck bluegrass sessions. killer tune.

I'm working on putting together a little online library of my favorite fiddle tunes. Here's one of the latest. First slow, then up to speed.

Thanks,...

Yup! They fit my band's 4x4 stickers perfectly, and keep them from getting all bent up

It is true that we don't pack a huge sound, but I tune my tenor GDAD, so I've got all the range of a 6 string guitar minus a minor third (my lowest note is the lowest G in a G chord on a...

A quick update:

The 310a speakers and b208d monitors arrived last week and we've had some time to play around with them. All I can say is that these things sound incredible. I've yet to take them...

Thanks for the kind words Almeria and Jim, it is definitely one of my favorite tunes. Putting it with billy wilsons and sandy boys sounds like a killer set, great taste!

We are definitely aiming...

Never met a JB I didn't like.

Thanks for all the replies folks!

Well, we got a great deal on a Mackie 1620i, with a rackmount kit and a road case, and we've been loving it thus far. We've yet to take it to a live gig, but have...

I've got an Audio Technica AT2020 USB Mic that sounds great in my opinion. Just plug in to your computer and you are good to go.

No mandolin content, but my buddies did a good chunk of the...

Things seem to be lining up nicely. I found an ad on craigslist for the 1620i, and it turned out to be a friend of mine selling his.

$420 for a 310a, stand and slip cover seems like it is right...

Oops, funny double post.

Thanks everybody. It does look like 15s are a bit overkill after a couple hours of asking questions and surfing the forums.

Some folks are suggesting 10s, which is attractive for the size and...

My band plays traditional fiddle music from around the world. We are a duo that consists of fiddle (my bandmate), and tenor guitar and mandolin (me).

We are looking into getting a PA system to...

I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a mandolin and concertina album. Ideally, I'd love to find something that is just a duet, but a trio would be fun too, or anything where mandolin...

I tune (my Blueridge 40t) GDAD. I mostly use it for accompaniment, but do like to play melody on it as well. It took a little while to get used to the high D string for melodies, but its not so bad...

I've been playing around with a new tuning lately. From low to high it is:

EG CC GG CC

with the low e being a minor third below the standard G.

That way it is like a big open C chord that...

Bruce Molsky has a bunch of solo fiddle stuff in the old time vein

Sam Amidon has a great album of irish stuff called solo fiddle, but it can be pretty hard to find i think. There are probably...

thanks for the kind words everyone. the key of F comes through well on mandos and fiddles and I really love playing in it. Its a beautiful key.

for the multi tracking, i recorded one track (mando)...

Thanks. They were both about 6 or 8 inches off, with the gain set pretty low, around 30 (out of 100).

For a long time i went under the strings behind the nut. But a little over a year ago I went to what chris is doing above, under the extension, and I'm never going back. I love it.

Baron

Thanks for all the helpful replies.

I ended up going with the H1n, because it was relatively inexpensive, simple, and a big plus is it fits in the pocket of my Calton case.

So far I am really...

Hi All,

Just thought I would share a quick recording I just made with you all.

This is one my favorite tunes of the month, and I just got a little Zoom H1 recorder, so I pulled out my mando and...

Hi Everybody.

I am looking for a handheld recorder with a good built in mic, something very similar to the Zoom H1. However, I also want something that can be used as a USB mic for my computer,...

I saw him picking that Ellis A at greyfox. Is that his main axe these days?
