    Oh wow - how long is his wait list these days? I feel lucky - I only had to wait about 10 months for mine!

    The wait will be worth it. Mine is the most lovely thing I've ever played. I just...

  3. Re: Where to move to in US? (Yes, there's mandolin content!)

    Austin actually has a pretty big bluegrass scene, with tons of jams, and there's a lot of Irish music, as well. Just hang around Fiddler's Green music shop and ask around. They'll be able to tell...

    Re: Moving to the Smoky Mountains!

    You'll love the area. I got to live in Tennessee for about 10 years, and in Knoxville for 3 while I was going to grad school. I try to get back at least once a year. Autumn is really spectacular! ...

    Hi, Mandolin Cafe folks! Roll call! Is anybody else going on this cruise this week?

    Re: Unison or Octave pairs on G and D strings

    When Fletcher built mine, I had it done with the G and D in octaves, as well, with the lower string struck first in the downstroke. It gives the sound a kind of sparkle that I really like. ...

    Ah. It's the chords with the numbers in them that I wasn't getting. I guess it's time to start learning some of those... Music theory is the bane of my existence. Thanks, Chip!

    Okay, y'all. This one will probably be easy for most of you, but the chords on this one are giving me fits. Does anybody have any ideas? It doesn't seem to be a straight 1-4-5, although it looks...

    I've found that my Brock OM is pretty immune to the dry air up here in northwestern Colorado. I use a damp-it on that and on my regular mandolin. I hope I'm doing enough to keep them from getting...
