I had it done on my left thumb, and need it to be done to the right one, also. In my case, they did not use a tendon, but what I called high tension fish line. The rehab was short, and the recovery...
My Mandobird VIII has an Almuse pickup and a Moongazer bridge, and is a joy to play. For new pickups, it appears that Lace has a emando pickup on the market. I know nothing about it, but it might...
Voltarin anda CBD salve both can help.
I wasn't going to jump into this discussion, but having been in praise bands for over 20 years, I have a little insight into the problem. The band I spent the most time with would have had space for...
I used an Audio Technica 4033a.
I started in my 60's.
For all of you playing with arthritic hands, let me mention again that Voltarin might give you a lot of relief. It's over-the-counter, and at Sam's Club it's packaged with 2 large tubes and one...
An Mandobird VIII fills the bill for me. Quiet, paired strings, and easy to fret.
My recovery time was shorter than a joint replacement. I was in a splint, padding, and all wrapped in an ace bandage for a couple of weeks. Then the stitches were taken out and I was put in a...
They did a Mini TightRope technique on my left thumb. It relieved 99% of the pain and problems, and the recovery period was shorter. Sooner or later I will have to have it done on my right thumb,...
Hope you are having a great birthday, Ted.

I use the rectangle for my 814v. It also worked for my Jessen A-oval.
I haven't played a 815v, but I have an 805D and a 814v, and I love both of them. My fingers are not long or slim, and the neck feels good to me. Double stops are no problem, either. I have no...
Happy birthday, Scott.
RIP You were a a fantastic storyteller!
I've done, "I'll Fly Away" at some funerals, also.
I'm still analog, and the group does all kinds of music, so my/our needs might be a bit different. I use an Allen and Heath GL2400 mixer, EV speakers and subs, old Sonic moniters, and QSC amps. ...
Welcome to the mandolin world.
Here's another vote for the Ingles Violin stand. I've used them for years, and so far, no issues.
Here is a comment from the Song Meanings site:
"At the time Rafferty wrote the song, he was travelling regularly between London and Glasgow. As such, he didn't get to spend as much time with his...
Where was this when I so desperately needed it? It's too late for me now!
Happy Birthday to the Dawg! Thanks for all the wonderful music!
If it's a thumb that is the chief culprit, as it is in my case, the Dr. did what's called trapezium suspension surgery. I was able to fret 6-7 weeks after the surgery. I will have to have it done...
RIP, Dix.
