I am bewitched and under the spell!
That girl is just great in every way, and so is her band and the frolicing wenches in the woods.
Bless the internet - otherwise I would never have seen this!

I´ve seen "recorder" mentioned in this thread a couple of times. Could someone enlighten me, since the only recorders I know of are tape-recorders, video-recorders and such.
I have an idea that it...

I play the bodhran along with a few tunes in our band, but not sure I´m doing it the "authorized" way - whatever that is. It´s a great instrument, and I´m told that some bodhran players out there are...

If you´re familiar with bluegrassbox.com, you can FTP some of Tim´s live-versions of Lily Of The West there.

You´re right glauber, and I got a little carried away with the clarinet; we don´t really use it for reels, jigs, hornpipes and such for the very reasons you named. (and I know that Shady Grove and...

"Celtic" isn´t a closed definition.
A fiddler from Shetland would probably say he´s playing music from the Shetland Islands, a piper from Ireland would probably say he´s playing Irish music, and so...

"The Girls I Left Behind"?

2 years ago I flew from Quebec to Newark with a Kalamazoo in a case. Jumped the A train and had a stroll down 7th Avenue, took out the mando and played a lick on the street. Later same day I flew...

Sue, why not just ask for the information in the Classical Forum. Kerry said it, there are people in that forum who knows everything about bowlback mandolins.

I guess you made me realize what I allready know:
To go for an all solid woods instrument.

I believe to know that the top is the most important part to be made of solid wood - and the Richwood...

Anyone here know of the Richwood OM?
Solid spruce top, laminated mahogany back and sides, mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard.
Materials and price - £199 in this particular case - must mean Pac-rim,...

I bought mine, a K20 with F-holes, on ebay, from a nice guy in Ohio. It sailed across the Atlantic up to Denmark, and that day when the man from the courier service knocked on my door...wow!
There I...

Don´t get me wrong, Keith.

To play that old banged up Kalamazoo makes me RICH!!!
And with it´s scars and it´s bruises - it´s as pretty as any new highclass mandolin I´ve seen.
Cause this one has...

So true, Andy, so true!
I´m a poor man.....and I have a Kalamazoo.

It was recorded by Larry Cordle & Lonesome Standard Time on "Songs From The Workbench"

(Larry Cordle/Larry Shell)

I fell in with the wrong crowd/I even said out loud/I´ll do just as I...

Oh no!
I hope you and the people in St. John´s can work this thing out. It beats me what happened!?

The UPS truck drove up at my frontdoor only yesterday, and delivered the Garrison G30LE guitar...

Okay joshro, I get your point.

Saami people? Is that what you call the people of Northern Scandinavia that we call Samer/Laplænder? I´d be interested in reading that article!
I must say I...

Interesting point, joshro, and I agree with you a good deal of the way, but: I know that my dominant eye (I´m a painter by profession and have been aware of this phenomenen for years) is my right...

Yeah, let´s hear more about it!
And let´s see some pics!

No saying on Garrison´s homepage about mandolins - do they want to keep it a secret?

Bob, you are probably right when you say a little kid first of all will see a stringed instrument as something to be strummed, and will use it´s dominant hand to do so.
In my case I was 11 or 12...

Even today, in some cultures, the left hand is regarded as being "unclean", because it´s used for hygienic purposes in the lower end of the body, while the right hand is used for eating, writing,...

Thanks Ken, that´s a good advice. I´m afraid a Bussman is a bit over my budget, which at the moment is just about zero.
Because of GAS!
I´ll have to settle for a while yet with that hybrid Romanian...

Yeehaww, I made it!
It spells my name in a really funny way though - but that way I´m still kind of incognito.

Susanna, just type the name of the nearest bigger town or city, if you live in a...
