Thanks for all the advice, everyone.

Hi everyone,

I've got a higher end mandolin that's got some really great sound, but I'm thinking it could play quite a bit better. I'm hoping to get some recommendations for a professional setup....

Hey Daryl,

This price seems awfully fair to me. I have an outstanding F5 from Lawrence from 2012/13 and his prices have gone up a little since then. I haven't heard a mandolin made by him that...

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone; I really appreciate it.

Any Red Diamond F5 owners around the front range of Colorado? I'm thinking of placing an order and would love to hear one in person if possible. I'd also like to hear how it sounds in comparison to...

Hi everyone,

Reaching out to the greater mandocello community here trying to get some feedback on mandocello builders and your personal experience playing a mandocello from these builders. It's...

Thanks. I tried both of those email addresses yesterday and they both bounced. Thanks again for the replies.

Thanks Nick. If they do, I can't seem to find it. Thanks again.

Does anyone know if the Denver (Colorado) Mandolin Orchestra is still active? I'm not having any luck finding information about shows or auditions, and bought someone on the forum may know more.

This seems like a great way to start. Just so I am clear... I can use the Focusrite 2i2 with Garage band and record multiple instruments at different times and lay them on top of each other? What I...

Thanks everyone. Sounds like Focusrite is a the recommended way to start. Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks.

Not 4-5 simultaneously. I would be playing them all and recording one on top of the other.

My mac is:
Mac OS X, Version 10.5.8
2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Hopefully...

Hi everyone,

I'd like to start recording at home, and would love some suggestions on what to get for software, mics, etc. I would like to record 4-5 instruments plus vocal. I currently have a Mac,...

Hi Everyone-

I searched the archives and read some posts there...just wondering if anyone has any additional information.

I live in Colorado, where it is dry most of the year. As such, I have...

Well, you certainly have a ton of great builders to choose from...it will most likely come down to your personal preference.

I personally prefer to support the individual craftsmen and women. Get...

Anyone know of any Artist Works coupons right now? I'd like to try the Mike Marshall school...wondering if there are any discounts currently.

Thanks.

In need of a strap for my F5. Anyone out there have a non-leather strap they really like?

Thank you,
Chris

Thanks Chip! I really appreciate it...those look way better than something I would have taken here at home, and I wanted to do Lawrence's work justice.

As I said previously, Lawrence was just a...

Got it tonight. Opened it right away...it was over 60deg here all day, and it's been at the post office since this morning. Man, it's awesome. The wait was long, but worth it, and Lawrence was a...

Lawrence just emailed me the tracking number...due here tomorrow at noon. Lawrence has been just the absolute greatest person to work with...the greatest. It's an F5 Fern, and I haven't asked for...

After listening back and forth to some Tim O'Brien and Sarah Jarosz stuff, I have the G and D in octaves. Tim is lucky enough to have 2...one in octaves and one in unison. So far, I really like the...

Thanks Linds.

I've gone with an Oasis case humidifier since the week I got it. Hopefully that keeps things a little more to the instrument's liking. Thanks for the suggestion.

Looking for jams in the Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, etc. area. Public or private.

Thanks Everyone.

Thanks Gary! I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to make music with one of Fletch's instruments...an absolutely killer OM and a great guy.

Thanks everyone. Nice looking OM, Chip.

I think I'll go with an Oasis case humdifier; I bet that'll work fine. I've been playing mine pretty much non-stop since I got it...what a great...
