Very tasteful! Can't wait to hear some sound clips and get some more info.

Thanks for that input - been seriously considering buying a ToneBone PZ-Pre, for the very reason it has a second input. However, I had questions about how you could independently eq a second...
We've finally released our first album. Here's our bandcamp:
http://languageofshapes.bandcamp.com/
We're also available just about everywhere else (iTunes, Amazon etc.)
Let us know what you...
Thanks, Rob.
Del Amitri? There's a band I haven't heard or thought of for a very long time :) Interesting. Wonder if it's the 3/4 time, as used in Nothing Ever Happens. Write a lot of music in...
Hongdae? Thanks, John, never been looking for shops in that area.
However, mandolusional, you're in Seoul!? Ever go to Hae Bang Cheon festival!? Wonder if we've met...
I guess you mean Naksan...
Darn, just ordered a stack from Elderly - sweet deal, the EXP's are outstanding imo. Might jump on this.
Interesting about the flaking on the Elixirs, Greg, sure I wasn't the only person to notice...
Asides from Bach's cello suites that you've mentioned, I'd hit up some Leonard Cohen - the following sounds great on a mandola:

And I imagine it would...
He gave me a very swift response. It's great to be in contact with another mandolinist in Korea. They're a little thin on the ground...
A member of the ensemble and a senior member do some repairs...
My band Language of Shapes is gearing up to release our first album in a couple of months.
For now we're making some demos available free to download on our Soundcloud - ...
Great that your asking for feedback on a project like this. Time to muddy the waters, a little.
21" scale would be preferable.
The body shape is great, the soundhole as others have noted seems...
Just emailed Ming Soon Park, I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the responses.
I have googled for luthiers, one of the first things I did. Asked all my musician friends who should know, and some who wouldn't but used their computer, writing in...
Because of the extraordinary wealth of knowledge on this site, thought it was worth a stab in the dark to see if anyone knew of any luthiers in South Korea. Independent that is. Japan has plenty, and...
Ron, thanks for the suggestion, worth checking into. There's also the added bonus of keeping the pick-up invisible, once it's inside. But the external option remains more cost effective - I would not...
This is an old discussion, but I'll join in.
The sound is powerful and rich, it has immense volume and responsiveness. It's so loud I actually heard that worrying faded ringing sound you're meant...
Just found this awesome article:

Yes! Had LaBella flatwounds on mine for awhile. Believe they're the same?? Beautiful round tone, felt amazing. Really loose strings. Just changed them to coated d'addarios (exp74's) cos that's just...
The mic does have a better tone, but as a singer as well find it veeery restrictive to have to place my mandolin in a limited position while also having to sing. For a standard mic to pick up the...
I will fourth the soundcloud recommendation (as evidenced by the link in my signature).
Having used several music hosting sites over the last few years, soundcloud beats them all for ease of use...
My own 905 D has recently started to sound increasingly amazing - it's turning into abit of a monster. It's tone and volume have developed a lot over the six months I've been playing it. I don't have...
Nobody seems to yet have mentioned Mike Marshall and Chris Thile's collaborations. Genre bending and such a joy to listen to. I always come away from them with new ideas. The available recordings are...
Thanks Eddy and PJ, I saw one on the classifieds awhile back that came with a silver hardcase and wondered whether it was the Eastman fibreglass. That was the case I was after, really. Streamlined,...
They're both good idea, thanks. I guess as an owner of a lowly copy, it didn't occur to me to contact them directly... :redface:
The Dean's are a mixed bag. My bandmates both have electro-acoustic f-styles. The string spacing on one was uneven. The other was perfect. The tone on both is very quiet, and plugged in they're not...
Thanks, that'll serve as a last resort if I can't actually find an alternate case. Getting the zipper back on it tracks and having it stay there is gonna be tricky. Generally like these Eastman cases...
