  1. Saving a Finale file to mandolin format or ABC format

    Two questions for Finale users:

    Is it possible to save a Finale file to mandolin tablature format?

    If not, is it possible to save a Finale file to ABC format?

    Thanks in advance!
  2. Re: Folktab.com is down? .ABC and notation transcribing site.

    See vonbiber's June 4th post above recommending:

    http://michaeleskin.com/abctools/abctools.html

    IMHO, abctools does an even better job on abc -> mando tab conversion than folktab.com used to do.
  3. Re: Folktab.com is down? .ABC and notation transcribing site.

    Does anyone know of another site that does online ABC -> mandolin tab conversion?

    I became aware of folktab.com when mandolintab.net went down a while ago. Such a loss.

    Scotter,

    Thanks for the lead on Devin Champlin. Didn't realize he was in Bellingham (I was just up there a week ago selling my Stan Miller A-model). I have been looking for a good repair person in...

    Thanks for the replies, everyone. I had a Firefly and sold it in favor of my (cuirrent) SCGC PJ parlor, which is a 12-fret with incredible sound, especially for the size. I played a Wee Lowden at...

    Here's a question for you luthiers out there:

    I find that the Mexico-made Taylor GS-Mini guitar has the ideal dimensions for me. I'd like to have a replica higher-end one-off built, say in the...

    Re: Pick (nerd) journeys

    +1 on the BC KS pick (I use a 50).

    I also use a Gravity Gold Axis Mini 1.5, which is dimensionally nearly identical to the BC KS, though the difference in pick material is pretty evident in the...

    Re: Right Hand Technique

    I could go on and on about this topic, so to spare everyone, here's the essence.

    I've found that the amount of the pick that is exposed is most affected by how tightly the index finger is curled...

    Downloading video files

    Why is it that some video files (YT, Vimeo, etc.) can be downloaded and others cannot? Is this determined by the person posting the video?

    Incidentally, I thought that the closest to the A-5 Special was that lowly f-hole MT on the wall at Dusty for $2565. Whoever gets that one will come pretty darn close to the A-5 Special at almost...

    Re: Kentucky Neck Profile differences?

    Yeah, I've got basal thumb arthritis and I have much less left hand pain when playing my Brock F with a VERY chunky neck than with my other mandos. Can't explain it but it's there regularly.
