Okay, it is a guitar, but I must say, this makes the ongoing past threads regarding flying with your mandolin seem trite in comparison.



Best David Bowie cover. Ever...

For me, it's both good and bad. As the owner of a four-location local music store chain, I'm tired of competing with the big online dealers with an extra 7% advantage, one of which blatantly...

Granted, the Mrs wan't all that thrilled with it, but I have mine hung in the Mando Room with a Grip Hands wall hanger:

Very happy with my strap button set up. Out of site, and weight of the instrument balances nicely!

I never upgraded the pickup on my CT-110, but every mandolin I've had since then I've had a K&K twin installed. Best tone value out there.

I bought a Hill Country Stringworks armrest from Doug for my (deeper body) mandola with a request for a longer barrel a couple years ago. It worked swimmingly.

My store had four of them yesterday, minus the one I bought for myself. Full review later, but first impression, it's a fantastic value. Nowhere near the quality of many American small shop emando...

Sorry for the blurriness. The new Fender Mando-Strat is a contender. In my opinion, better build then the Mandobird, I think this is a fun indulgence for any mandolinist wanting to experiment in the...

As promised, pictures from a mandolinist perspective of the Winter NAMM show 2013 in Anaheim, CA. Keep in mind, the hostile acoustics of the trade show floor prevent accurate answers to questions...

I'm on it. Meeting with Fender Friday morning at NAMM.

I've posted relevant excerpts on the JazzMando site (even while John was around), and will continue to review snippets of his pedagogical treasure. If anyone wants to edit and order more of his...

I've been hesitant to post on a flattering thread with my own name in the title, kind of like speaking your own eulogy at your own funeral, but I'll respond once and invite questions outside of this...

As requested. Thanks for everyone's patience.

The appropriate parties have been called out in Private Messages. I'm done babysitting here.

Don't dismiss this as completely "no mando." Andy Statman is on several cuts. Terrific and typically eclectic.

Jingle All the Way

With all due respect, if you concentrate on using the three thickest strings, muting the top two isn't all that convoluted. It's just a matter of laying the fleshy part of the palm over the soprano...

I would also add as a side note, if one is a new member here and one's first 13 posts amount to "grudge" attack statements, it's going to be hard to read nothing less than agenda or vendetta in your...
