I'm at work so I don't have it in front of me, but I like a pedal I built. I hijacked a circuit for a MXR clean boost pedal, but I changed to boost so I only get about a 12db boost (down from...
Thanks for all the suggestions. I met up with the Old Time crowd at Rio Rita on Tuesday and had an enjoyable jam. Very nice folks. I didn't make it to Fiddler's Green until my drive out on Friday,...
Thanks for all the great suggestions and links, folks!
Tommando, do any of these look like something you're going to hit? The Tuesday Rio Rita thing looks like my speed... I'm not much of a...
Fiddlers Green looks like a great place to drop by even if they don't have a jam.
Great! Thanks for that... I'll try to get over there.
Are there any good intermediate level jams or Celtic sessions in Austin, TX next week? I'll be in training during the day but would love to pick a few in the evening.
Thanks, Paul
I'm late to this thread, but I came across it because I'm doing my anal-retentive pre-purchase research... I can't afford to buy and reject multiple pickups and I've got several gigs coming up that...
Arnt, I love the shop layout, the tool cabinet, and your selection/collection of tools. My shop keeps edging closer to being workable, then backsliding into disarray. Actually it's workable but I'm...
I've got an original Bozeman Flatiron "Pancake" that was built in 1981... one of the early ones. I've had it since it was new. It was before they started putting truss rods in... the neck is still...
4324... that's my unscientific guess.
Now my two cents on drawing size and shipping. I liked the old drawing size. The only problem I'm aware of with shipping is that Elderly insisted on shipping...
I get the impression that most of these tuners have a problem of locking onto harmonics and I find that they work better if I play the octave harmonic (12th fret) rather than pluck the open string....
Unless you're referring to a more recent discussion that I missed, Adrian had been selling these through Elderly Instruments. I just looked and didn't see them listed on Elderly's site. I hope...
OMG... I'm glad the CD was okay and found its way to you! That's a CD I really want... I've got the 2004 MMQ Nutcracker on CD and the 1991 release on cassette. A week ago I looked around on Amazon...
While I share some of your frustrations with "jewel" cases, I just keep spares around and replace the broken bits. Having worked in Information Technology for years, I end up with so many promo deals...
You may be in the minority, but you're certainly not alone. I've known a number of folks over the years who have been turned off by Dawg music but many of them have liked Old And In The Way,...
Have you tried the Paige that I linked below (or above... depending on how the thread sorts for you ;) )? Since it clamps at the center of the back of the neck it provides pretty consistent pressure...
I don't ever use capos... my fingers are too fat as it is and I find a capo really gets in my way. I do own a Kyser and a Paige, and I think Paige is the way to go if you want to capo.

When I bought mine (I lose track, but it was about 5 years ago) it was when Guitar Center was closing out their Gibson mandos. There was a big thread on it here on the 'Cafe... they were selling for...
Could it simply be that people don't have the discretionary income right now for instruments? Or are other mandos holding their value? My F9 gets compliments (the instrument, not the player) all the...
I record, take sparse notes, etc, but for me JeffD's "Most important" suggestion is, well, the most important thing I can do. If I can take time to play with what I've learned it will be burned into...
I thought I'd weigh in as someone who has written a few tunes but would like to take time out and write more. Actually, I've got a notebook full of fragments and ideas and some fleshed out verses...
My mother used to sing this to me when I was a tyke, and it was my now 17 y.o. son's favorite lullaby. I've played it on the mando for years, and there's a local clawhammer banjer player who makes it...
I think that's a GREAT use. We have a real problem here in Salt Lake with gangs of senior citizens intimidating folks with their walkers and beating teenagers with their canes. Better to give them...
Edit test.... out of curiosity.
