Hi there,
I play all types of music on my mandolins, from easy listening to hard rock.
On both my mandolins I use GHS A240 009 mandolin strings.
For playing I use 2 sizes of picks, Dunlop .73...
Hi John,
Welcome to the mandolin club. I think you got some bad information at the store.
At first: you choose the mandolin, it’s your instrument, and you’re free in choosing the way you want to...
Hi, thanks for the kind words. No problems with the strings, I'd tried lots of different ones and finally found some that I like and work well with my modifications. The mandolin stays in tune.
Hi everyone,
Here is my mandolin.
A few years ago my wife gave me an acoustic electric mandolin for my birthday. I taught myself to play.
Being spoiled with all the luxury and parts you can buy...
Hello Thamesider,
Welcome to the club. I played guitar for many years before I finally started to play the mandolin.
It really is a nice and fun sounding instrument. I sometimes regret that I...
Cool; thanks for sharing!
Happy Holidays to you and to everyone else also! Hope all your mando wishes come true!

Absolutely loved the photo and your signature is almost like my motto. I work as a machinist and I'm always saying if I can't find what I want then I'll just make it myself.
As for the rest, love...
95655Unfortunately this is easier said than done. When my wife was looking for a mandolin for me she had a really hard time. Stores in Netherland rarely have mandolins in stock and when they do...
I'm working on a few Beatles songs. So far the only one I've posted on my site is Hey Jude. It's mandolin lesson 008; my website has a link for the pdf. There are lots of great links and lessons...
Due to my job I often have wrist problems; on occassion I wear a wrist brace for extra support. I agree that I think playing an instrument would be good therapy for your husbands hand; besides being...
Our dog doesn't mind the mandolins or my guitars. He usually just curls up and goes to sleep. When I play music at our neighbors house, his cats like to curl up and sleep in the empty guitar case...
Hey Ivan,
Putting other parts of better quality can have a big influence on your sound.
I created a roller bridge, and instead of a normal tailpiece, I decided to create a whammy bar kit for my...
You’re right about that.
That’s exactly how I started to play the mandolin.
I’ve played guitar for over 30 years now and use that experience for the mandolin.
Specified mandolin technics and...
Hey Mick,
Every little bit will help, so, check out our renewed website http://rdenronden.magix.net/public/ and watch the first video clip.
I'm still working on more Christmas songs, keep an eye on...
Strings and picks are personal things.
What works for one person, doesn’t have to work for an other.
As a guitar player I always use GHS .009 strings and Jim Dunlop 0.73MM picks.
Starting on the...
Hi Eric,
I read your story and I see that you and your friends are having fun with playing songs which don't carry a mandolin.
I'm the same way; I believe you can play almost anything on a...
Hi Nathan,
Mostly I use Dunlop .073 picks for mandolin. I also use the picks on my guitars.
It's just a personal thing. If it feels good and gives you the sound you want, then who could ask for...
Welcome to the Mandolin Club.
I'm not sure what type of music you're interested in playing but I do have some pop/rock song lessons that I've put together; my website link is in my signature, the...
Agreed on the importance of the set up. My wife plays ukelele and the strings are lower than on a mandolin. There are a lot of online sites that give information regarding mandolin set up. If you...
Here are some pics of my pedal board.
Probably the only "green" one in the world,
but we're ready for the European Soccer Championship.
Sex, Soccer & Rock 'n Roll. May the best country win!...
That is one gorgeous mandolin and what a great tribute to your grandmother. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds good; keep on playing and WELCOME!:)
I've done some various video listening to the two along with hubby and it looks like he's decided to get the mandocaster. Apparently the other one is tuned at a lower level and after listening to...
yup, my mistake. I was trying to do two things at the same time, that never works for me.:grin:
