Anyone have any thoughts? I want to stay with the .034 gauge G strings to reduce neck tension as I have a flattop, and just curious what anyone might have to say about the J62's vs the Elixir...
I have the Freakishly Large Lite, it's very good for mandolin! Also the Tremelo, lost one which later turned up in the Shark vacuum tank snapped in half.....the Tremelo is a great strumming pick as...
Might want to try these.....they are very grippy, rounded, 1.3 mm thick, good for mandolin! ...
Elderly Music has them too,,,the 514 w/grips

These are available from Amazon right now....just got my 3 pack about a week ago.....oh, the packaging says 514 (the one's with grips) and they are 1.3 mm thick
here's the...
Just got some of the 1.3 mm Primetone semi rounds with grips from Amazon, have seen them at other places too...very nice picks! Musicians Friend I believe carries them too!

Perfect!! I'm in!!!

Here's what I have! Great strap, fully adjustable and has quick release on either end! No metal bits either that will scratch the mandolin so you can leave it on when the...
I too purchased a Red Valley, mine is the OM, sitka top, maple sides and back, mahoghany neck w/rosewood on the headstock. Beautiful instrument, play J73's just like it was set up with. Couldn't be...
Great news all! Yamaha makes a very nice little piezo tuner, clips on to the headstock. Works perfectly! Got mine at Heid Music in Madison WI, $10.00. Had a $40 Korg, piece of crap couldn't find...
Don't think that's mando on Hey, Hey, just capo'd guitarllll
Fury In The Slaughterhouse - "When I'm Dead & Gone"
German band....
There are also dampers avail, there is teh Weber Wood Nymph, I've also seen rubber bead like bits that ft right on the strings. But I know Dennis at Mandolin Store like the Wood Nymph....
I agree!
To me, Dawgs are a bit hard to hold onto, and sound like I'm playing the mando under a pillow...muffled, no volume or intonation at all. I read somewhere "Back by popular...
Hi Paul!
Not to be snarky, but I still say go with an end fire condenser with a cardiod or super cardiod pattern. I know plenty of people use the SM57/58, and they are great mics, but they are...
Something else to consider...there are tons of decent condenser (end fire, NOT side fire!) condensers on the market that cost one helluva lot less than anything made by DPA! DPA are great, but...
Hi Max!
Apologies for calling you Bill in my prev post....new to blogging...navigation challenged I guess! Sure, call any evening and I'd be happy to chat with you! Phone # on the website is the...
Hi Bill!
You're right, alot to recording! If you're looking to do CD quality recordings for production, I would suggest finding a good acoustic environment with a little "space" and record direct...
I'm curious about this too!
Got's me a Korg also, just bought it, generates tones too! Also has metronome function,not that I ever us it. Nice turner, but only gripe is that it has a hard time recognizing the E strings unless...
Does anyone have any input on differences between these? Is tonality that much different? All I know is one is phosphur bronze and the other is 80/20..thanks!
I must be one of the ladies, BlueRidgeBorn! I too put on a set of Elixer lights, and they coitenly do buzz. nyuk, nyuk! Wil lgo to mediums next. However, re teh J74's longevity, you might want to...
I'd steer clear of Behringer...gear is OK but if you need service, they don't have any. You basically send your gear away to the factory and they just replace it. Behringer is cheap landfill...
This is great! As a noob, I realize I have been doing it wrong all along....gonna post this clip too on the newbie group for the benefit of all! Thanks much for posting!
