I think this is going to be an inevitable acquisition for me. Love the color and the addition of the second pickup kind of sealed the deal. Just need to unload one the herd, the tough part.

Where did you source a 5 string version? Is there a bar or do you just use your palm? Very nice.

Basic rule of thumb is two frets per finger.

Index = frets 1&2
Middle = frets 3&4
Ring = frets 4&5
Pinkie = frets 6&7

If you stick to this (assuming we're talking first position) the only...

Sorry to hear things went south on your first attempt at getting a mandolin. I've never had a bad experience with Elderly, but then again I do live close enough to drive over there.

As...

I don't have my mandolin in front of me, but I think there's a similar pattern starting with FFcP1 at the 5th fret in the G string (key of C)

Try heading down to the Old Town School and poke around. There's a music shop there and there may be a bulletin board with postings on it.

1) beleive the point the author is trying to make is the intervals remain static but depending on the context or location the tonality of the chord changes (major/minor/dim)

2) Even in jazz with...

I think the approach to each instrument is driven by their prevalence in the world at large. Violin has a much deeper reach in the real world and as such has a well defined curriculum for teaching...

I usually approach playing guitar and mandolin practicing from a tune aspect. I usually pick a couple of tunes and work on the melody and rhythm. Once I have that down, I'll take what ever concepts...

My Clark and Rigel mandolins have C shaped chunky necks (nearly identical profiles). The Breedlove Quartz I used to own had a chunky neck, but was slightly more V shaped.

NFI, but this seemed like a decent price for a Blue Star 5-string.

Not sure where it would be applicable to mandolin, but it's a great article. I read it last week at the recommendation of co-worker.

They snuck this one in between some existing dates:

Take the sale into a Private Message conversation in order to avoid conflicting with the forum guidelines. Thanks

Slightly related to PB covers, looks like the boys are going to open for Wilco at Red Rocks in June. That would be my dream concert for sure.

Once the weather warms up (for good this time) I'll be ordering a kit. I'm planning on using Re-Ranch products for the finish. Specifically, Re-Ranch Orange in a spray can. There is a great thread...

This is the only video that I found online of a Clark F-5. The lighting is awful but the audio is clear.

I love my Clark two point. Austin is a complete pleasure to work with. Mine is on the older side and I can only beleive the ones after it only got better.

If you've got specific questions fire...

I would say that's probably a safe bet Rosemary.

Thanks Buck. An unexpected use case that could be very useful for some folks.

I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but I'm wondering if you can use the Mic as an audio source for the iPhone video camera.

I've got a 1999 414-K Limited Edition. The K is for Koa sides and back. Like many have posted, this was my first good guitar. I don't use it for any particular style, I just play it. It's my only...

Mike, everything was done on my iPad 1.

There's a list of apps here:

It should work with any app the uses CoreAudio which allows recording thought the dock connector.

UPDATE: Multitrack DAW...
