    Re: Arthritis pain relief

    I play dobro & several years ago I could not pick due to arthritic pain. So I sought out an accupuncturist & after 5 treatments, I no longer have any pain in my hands.

    Re: Wide Neck Mandolins

    Thanks for all the replies. Brent, could you explain the proper fretting technique? I thought fretting strings, regardless of instrument, would be the same, on the tips of your fingers.

    Wide Neck Mandolins

    Which mandolin mfrs in the $500 or less group offer mandolins with wider necks, thus, which might be easier on my old hands?

    Thanks.

    Mugbucket,

    I haven't been to the Jahke Rd jam yet but are there any other jams in Richmond, say, on the north side?

    Tuning Question

    I read another post where someone said that they like that mandolins are tuned in fifths. Could someone explain what is meant by that? I'd like several opinions, if possible.

    Thanks.

    Re: Spencer Strickland - Galax Convention

    I agree with ya jim-n-va. For a festival of that size $110 doesn't seem appropriate.

    I read someone elses post here on the cafe that made sense and might help...more often than not your obstacle(s) will be with you and not in the instrument.

    Good imput, Jamie, especially since I thought I might have to buy an expensive mando while thinking that the cost of a set-up would be more than a cheap mando might cost.

    I'd like to know the sound difference between an A-style oval (Army-Navy?)and the f-hole A-style? Which offers more sustain, etc.
    Specifically, I'd be playing bluegrass & jazz.

    Also, anyone have...
