There is an ulterior motive. Any country he threatens to attack with missiles full of Banjos is sure to Kowtow to him.

As a rank beginner who can't sing and couldn't read music in the beginning, I found the mandolin to be a good choice, especially with a good instructor. Being tuned in 5ths also helped. Interesting...

Sorry Justus, I was confused about who started the thread.

Hi Justus,
You might want to look in the classifieds for a Collings gloss top oval hole. I know it is not what you want but it is being offered by Maple Leaf Music over in Brattleboro Vt. Their...

If it isn't too late, count me in too!

Just thought I'd mention a tip I have started using when I restring. I wasn't sure how much extra string to use. I hook on at the tail piece and lay out the string to the post where it goes. I...

Thanks for the info. Mike, I didn't realize that there was a mandolin in the Jug Stompers. I haven't been to Caffe Lena, so will probably be by. I had been in the Parting Glass for a quiet lunch,...

Any help on places to go where the locals hang out on the weekends up near Saratoga Springs?
Thanks for any ideas. Cafe Lena is well known but I'd rather find some places a little more informal....

I'm visiting Saratoga Springs and Albany next weekend and wondered if there are any good spots to check out some sessions etc.
Thanks for any ideas.

A couple of weeks ago I was having trouble myself understanding some points of music theory. I went searching and found an open source called Connexions. Really good material at my level. The author,...

The virzi concept is interesting. And my comments are all conjecture. Reminds me of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge that picked up a harmonic vibration and tore itself apart. Seems to me that the diameter,...

example; 19mm times .03937 equals .74803 inches. ( or 3/4 in )
Hope you can use this.

Beautiful Chris,
Can't wait to hear it!

I'll chime in on the 690 series of Porter Cable routers. I saw them set up in a four station router table in the Woodworking Technology classroom at Palomar College in San Marcos Calif. They got a...

Thanks guys for the help.

I'm traveling to the San Francisco Bay area this week from Los Angeles and am wondering if anybody can steer me toward some good Mandolin stores. I'll be checking out Sylvan Music in Santa Cruz and...

Thanks Mike,
I just placed my order. Now why couldn't I find that site!?

Can somebody point me in the direction of the discount web link through Mandolin Cafe to subscribe to Fretboard Journal. ( If it is still being offered?)
Thanks all! ( I know I am computer...

I've been wondering about the Jade as well. I talked to a dealer today that sells them and he said they were a harder sell than Eastman's because of their looks. I had the impression he meant they...

Thanks all for the input.
I haven't made up my mind totally, but am leaning toward the Roland CD2e as it records, ( Although it is larger than most of the others, I am planning on only recording...

Thanks for your input Mark.
I'll go on some of the Cafe's advertisers sites tomorrow and check out the devices mentioned.
Steve

Thanks for the input Ed.
Do you find any one feature from a students perspective to be the most important when choosing which unit to purchase? ( other than cost ).
I try and work on the KISS...

First post for a beginner so hang in there.
My instructor would like me to get a recording device so I can check on my progress or lack thereof. Without naming names, which I believe is a no no on...
