    Re: Ukulele to Mandolin conversion for child

    Thanks for the tips. I didn't know about the importance of diminished chords. I will say that I really love the uke. I got the tenor Kala KA-TG in today and I'm just enthralled! One thing I don't...

    Re: Ukulele to Mandolin conversion for child

    I got the Kala 15s soprano and my daughter and I both loved it. Stayed with uke tuning, went through a 105 pg ukulele beginner syllabus last night and I really like it! I can play it while we're...

    Re: Ukulele to Mandolin conversion for child

    I guess I should have clarified that I already ordered the Ukulele, so the only issue is how to tune it. It's supposed to arrive today so I'll probably play around with it and then decide what to...

    Re: Ukulele to Mandolin conversion for child

    DWC: The chording is actually one of the reasons I wanted to tune it to GDAE. I think the two finger mando chords are easier than the uke chords and I would have to learn a 3rd set of chords in...

    Ukulele to Mandolin conversion for child

    I have a daughter that is interested in playing, but she is only 5 and lacks the finger strength to push down the mandolin strings. I saw that you can get a decent Kala Ukulele for about $55 on...

    Re: Uneven String Spacing question

    Yeah, I have a MK and all three spacings measure the same. I just didn't know if the A-E gap is sometimes smaller for some reason. More than likely it was a mismeasurement if they are supposed to...

    Uneven String Spacing question

    I recently had a mandolin built and I noticed that the space between the A and E string pairs was less that the spacing between the G-D and D-A. The space between the G-D and D-A pairs is about 4...

    Re: Morris mandolin build!

    Yeah it's an overlay not an inlay. I'm sure it's to keep costs down. I've seen pictures of mandolins he's built where the customer requested custom inlay, but the upgrades cost more.

    I'm kind of...

    Re: Blue Chip vs. Wegen

    I have a BC TAD-50, Wegen TF120, Red Bear B Medium, and TS all right around 1.2mm. Of these the Wegen is my least favorite. It's harsher on the strings and the tone is not up to par with the rest,...

    Re: Morris mandolin build!

    Well it's here! Just came via USPS, and now I'm gonna have to sit here for an hour or two while it acclimates to the temperature. That has to be the worst part of ordering a mandolin in the winter!

    Re: Morris mandolin build!

    I think I saw pics of that one before I ordered the one I ended up having built. Was it a honey amber finish? It was a good looking mandolin.

    These two mandolins in the classifieds look pretty similar don't they?
