Yepp...been playing fiddle for many years.

Beyond that, opinions are like anal sphincters round here so all I wanna say is good luck, it can be very rewarding.

I found a site that said it had it, but when I clicked on it my antivirus program lit off like a christmas tree so I had to abort. Great tune, I'd like to have it as well.

As I was, sorry. I was confusing the violin shaped 5 course stringed instrument jon plays with the song. You tube shows Steve playing a more mando like instrument, but the body is large and has five...

Jon Anderson isn't playing a mandolin on that song. I imagine it would work, but I haven't seen a transcription.

"I'm always amused by the "it's all in the bow" comments."

Hot dawg, I guess it's a bonus when I can attempt to give constructive advice to a fellow player based upon my own apparently limited...

I played fiddle before picking up the mandolin as well, still consider it my main instrument.

It will make you feel foolish for awhile, but patience and practice pay off in the end.
Bowing is...

You have to get out of your comfort zone in order to improve.

Yeah that's it, insecurity. Not. I guess next it will be equated to compensation for anatomical features. Seems to me that slinging negative generalizations toward folks that play any sort of mando...

yes, usually. I can also look at the site at work without getting any flack and play my mando there whenever I feel like it. Life is good.

In addition to the one for sale in the classifieds, Elderly had two them the last I checked.

I own one of his fiddles. I can't say enough good about it.

"Why should we care?"
Well, personally I really don't care all that much. I mean I've volunteered to leave my family and go into harm's way about things I genuinely cared about. I'm not packing my...

Just kidding of course.

It's a fake? Dangit, I wish I read this before I sniped in that winning bid.

It's gone again.
"What is the guy supposed to do if he wants to sell it?" Well, most likely not sell it in a public medium like eBay, since it is illegal to own it or sell it in the first place....

And now they've vanished, good riddance.

The same seller is also listing a Gibson Goldrush at a buy it now price of $1300.00

If you want something wider that looks cool try a seven strand french sennet.

Also inherently thin designs can be thickened by simply doubling or tripling the courses of the strands, i.e. a four...

I make my own. Get some craft cord ( I use parachute cord)in the color or colors you like and search sennet braiding on the net. There's a variety of styles and it's fun to add the personal touch to...

I'll give up my Blue Chip pick when you pry it from my cold dead hands. The price is steep, but wow, it brings my guitars and my mandos to life. If they start making Blue Chip ammunition, I'll buy...

Welcome aboard!

Hard work and planning. The military taught me all I need is S.M.E.A.C.

They are all that I aspire to be.

I own a Bluett Fiddle. If his mandos are as good, that was quite a steal.

What a bargain....sheeeesh
