thanks everyone

jaycat, I'm in Tunis too! but I'll be moving back to the states next June.

Hey everyone,
My house was broken into last week, and one of the things we lost was my well-loved Eastman 515.. :( I'm not expecting anyone to see it anytime soon since we live in North Africa (it...

I would go for it. Instruments are never confined to a certain genre just because that's how the majority uses it. If you love the sound (and yes, it IS easier than the violin), you should love to...

I'd like to hear more solos too, but yes, I think it is definitely that they are moving more toward the whole indie rock thing, and too many solos often is part of what make people who are biased...

Just to let you guys know, Frank, as well as of course being an amazing musician, is also a GREAT teacher. I had the pleasure of taking a private guitar/mandolin lesson with him and I really got a...

hmm... I've found that banjos usually get the least applause.

I think he made that bridge himself. The general theory is that the much smaller mass of the bridge increases volume noticeably.

Looks like a great deal for anyone lookin' for a new A-style!

Thanks guys, I'll see if I can pick up some tri-flow.

Wow thanks for the quick reply Brent! I guess I'll see if I can get some "real" lubricant then.

Hey folks,
I think it's about time I should lube my tuners, but I'm wondering which lubricant to use. I have plenty of WD40, but I don't know how well that would work. Have any of you tried it? How...

Thanks!

Some of you have already seen this from a previous post, but this is from a show where Sierra was kind enough to ask me to play a tune with her band!

sure is... I'm pretty sure she uses a TD50

Thanks for the advice folks,
I'm not totally sure what I'll do yet, but I'll think about it.

Thanks Goodin. Those look nice, but they're also expensive, and I'm trying to keep the cost as low as possible for now.

Thanks guys,
If it would be a risk to install it myself or I would have to send it to a luthier, I would probably lean towards the twin fusion pickup instead; I don't think it looks bad, and it...

Hmm, so if I just used a plain ol' hand drill to try to enlarge the endpin hole, how big would the risk be that I would do something bad to the instrument? (considering that I am not too experienced...

Hey folks,
Well, I'm thinking of getting a K&K mandolin pickup, preferably the internal. It says in the manual that it should be installed by a professional, but it really doesn't seem like that...

Just make it feel natural. If you have to really concentrate on hitting both strings while you're playing, don't do it! If it sounds fine to hit only one string, and that's how your hand naturally...

On my cheap Rogue I had I didn't even have to slide the cover off; I just pulled it straight up!

Wow it really does! Great job! I'm lovin' the nice clean sound you're gettin' out of that thing.

Congrats Paul! I hope your new mandolin will serve you well for many years!

Nervousness!!! =)

Thanks mtucker! I've watched some of his stuff before. He's pretty good!
