First hand experience - yes, it will discolor the finish and the Martin decal under the finish. Take the tuner off when it isn't being used.

I agree. But, I know a few artists, songwriters, and others around the industry. The perspective I've been given is one of a relationship that feeds off itself.

Not every story is the same.

No disagreement about the culture for profit.

I do disagree with the idea that the corporate folks aren't devising ways to create a devoted following by how they manage the "product". No...

If I am supposed to read that as directed to me.... I agree with you.

I appreciate the friendly discussion. No malice here either – at all.

Agreed. The process of cultural development (good or bad) is dependent on change. That “process” cannot be destroyed unless...

Whether a culture can be ruined or not depends a lot on how you define "ruined" - or what you think constitutes "culture".

I use Cleartune for a tuner. It acts like an analog device with a big screen, and a few features I don't use.

Yes! Thanks for finding and posting it. ...she was an amazing little girl. And only gotten better through the years.

A real sweetheart.

I need to find the clip with her at around 12 or younger - called up from the audience to play Lonesome Fiddle Blues with Sam Bush on Praire Home Companion (I think) or Woodsongs. Very impressive -...

MOST EXCELLENT! Thanks!

I've had my LM700 for a few years now, and haven't had any buyer's remorse. Mandolin isn't my "main" instrument (performance), but I do play it regularly at jams. I'm not saying there is nothing...

Learn how to cross tune that puppy in a few keys and have some fun playing OT fiddle tunes.
