One of of my favorites that I learned on here is using the empty paper from a string package under the tailpiece to prevent the tag ends of the old strings scratching the top of the mando when...

Ohhh yeah. Mike is the man!

Reasons to have a pick guard? They look awesome. I'm rocking an abreviated one but love a full size one on a classic looking f5. It's whatever you want though. If you like the look or not, if you...

I wouldn't worry about it. I've been on three cruises and performed and jammed inside the ship and outside on various decks. I've also have played on several piers over the water, with no apparent...

You're in Duck! Kinda close to me I live in Frisco on Hatteras!

I guess I'm the minority because I quite like pick click. I think it's cool if it's here and there, not with every note. Skaggs has a lot of clicking and I've heard Tony Rice do it on purpose. I...

Yeah I enjoyed that! Very nice to listen to.

This thread is solid gold.

Yes! I have played tons of gigs at the beach, right on the water. And every vacation to the beach I take it. My mando is totally fine. Playing hot festivals in direct sunlight when you are sweating...

I always use USPS

A lot of people get a warm, fuzzy feeling when they spend a lot of money for something. If you spend $40 on a pick, it kinda becomes something more, it's exciting. I feel like I get good tone out of...

Cantab Lounge!

Yeah... I don't know about Asheville. Pretty much anywhere besides there. Uhh I'd probably go with Bristol, TN, most places in NC, the Boston area, anywhere on the coast... Because that's just...

That is just too weird looking

I've never heard you play, but I would say you probably don't need to try to play harder... Play with more dynamics maybe. You were jamming with a banjo player, they can be pretty unforgiving. If you...

Thanks for the kind words guys! I we had a great time that night and I was pumped to meet another cafe member! I just saw this thread now, or I would've replied earlier. Nick's Flatiron is off the...

Yeah, definitely less.

That's what I'm talkin' about! I'll post pictures of mine tomorrow, though it's not near as worn as these puppies. Keep em coming folks!

I was reading the "Stupid Mistakes" thread and started thinking about wear and tear on mandolins. I know there are probably a bunch of threads about this but I'd like to see some mandos that have...

I play an F5 exclusively (that I dearly love), but one of my dream mandos is an A5. I've had a few of them and they slide on my legs a little, but you figure out how to make it work

For me it's "I don't NEED but one pick at a time. I just like to have a lot, and it's fun to try all kinds of picks. They all feel and sound different, also some of them are just cool to own"

I've bought two mandolins from Kevin and the transactions have been great. Highly recommended!

I tried a few times a couple years ago. I gave up

Fretboard Roadmaps is a good one. I liked it and it seems to be pretty popular around here. Also, go to mandozine and look up solos and tunes, you can learn a lot of licks from transcribed breaks. I...

It sounds like a banjo right?
