Yeah I heard that he was leaving, but have more or less kept quiet about it. Joe had more to do with my mandolin addiction than anyone else, his clean, clear, tasteful, seemingly simple playing...

I love these guys, they are as honest and sincere in real life as they seem to be on stage:

Lets get this out of the way. ..... You'll get more bang for the buck with the little lute lookin' A and you will always be able to look down on the superficial F crowd. The F style will be fun to...
My LM-700 was a pleasant surprise, it was about all the mandolin I could ever want. Mine prefered J-75's, but mandolins are individuals, yours might prefer something else. Have fun with your...
Somewhere in the in the back of my mind I did know that. Wasn't sure if his "F" was another Gilchrist, it didn't seem right though. I liked the sound of the LaPlant, but he said somehting about...
Saw Monroe Crossing in Blyth Ca. this weekend. Naturally they told the story of the return of the mandolin, remarkable in that I'd just read this on Friday and the very next day there they were....
- Mandolin
- 5 string banjo
- guitar, electric & acoustic
Being truly good at none of the above, started too old love it all the same though
- Repairing broken instruments
- Skeet Shooting...
About sore fingers ..... At first you won't be able to understand how people play a mandolin ....... your fingers will hurt ....... fairly shortly after the hurt, you find the hurt bearable .........
About a year ago I got a KM-150 for a friends retirement gift. Had it in my posession for a few weeks and played it quite a bit during that time. It was/is a surprisingly decent instrument, the...
But why would anyone buy an A model when there are several F models available for the same money? ........:)) ....... Sorry, I just couldn't help myself, please keep the conversation going.
:grin: Now that was great! Little Ricky :cool: kept 'em in familiar territory, holding them to the basic structure of the song. Can't say as I'm big on drum solos, but even that stayed to the beat....
Here's a question I've been pondering about this sort of "music". A song or melody is something recognizable which in itself makes a series of notes a specific song. When what once was a song is...
Jazz ........ never will understand it. As the late Sunny Bono said, "Give'em a simple beat and Lyrics they can understand." Nicely recorded, they certainly seem to be having fun.
A nice easy vocal, lked it a lot. Not sure if could listen for a long time, but this was nice. I also like folk, but can't stand a lot of it.
I know that I liked it when I had it. When I first got it there was a dead spot on only one string, the bottom A string on the third fret. I took it in to them for a setup and the problem was taken...
Was the mandolin in Arizona? If so which shop was it in? Wondering because recently sold my LM-600 to a local shop here in Tucson.
Wait a minute before filing, especially if this is a new problem. Is your neck straight? On some instruments necks can move with a change in the weather. Does it need a little bit of adjustment. ...
I go out to the parking garage here at work during lunch. Also during our Thursday Skeet League (Yes, a shooting league) between the end of work until it's time to leave I enjoy pulling out the...
Great article ..... if your interested in buying an A, what what if your not at all interested in an A?
A, "do you have any sound clips" question. Well no I don't, I love instruments and play almost everyday, but I have absolutely NO musical talent. I've never denied this. A recording of me would be...
The crud on the bridge doesn't look all that old. I can see the guy playing after getting pizza gooo on his hands, pitting it away and forgetting to clean it. The fretboard doesn't look all that...
As has been said over and over and over and over again .... there are some decent F style mandolins in the $1000.00 range. Why not help in that direction? MY LM-600 seemed to be a VERY decent...
Seems to me that the only ones with scroll envy are actually those that INSIST on pushing an A on everyone, even those that plainly state that they want an F. I personally prefer an F style. Why? ...
Here's another spin ...... Maybe his point is that we should not be here on the computer talking about playing or building or other such time spending activities. We should be out there with...
Me calling it Steam Punk isn't an insult. Steam Punk is usually VERY mechanical, old fashion looking, a bit creapy in some indescribable way and shot in sepia tones or at least has a sepia feel to...
