It might be too late and this one sounds too familiar but I'll post it anyway "The Cumberland Ramblers" or "Gambrelers if" you prefer.

What? No room for a harmonica?

Good point! Sometimes creativity overwhelms stupidity. Actually the Givens was in the basket only long enough to click the photo. But only afterwards did I think of the risk to my treasured...

Great for carrying a tune.

I think the scroll is really cool looking but I enjoy playing and hearing my A model just a well as my F.

I like to start off with Sandy River Belle because it uses all four fingers and all four strings. Another good warmup tune is Redwing.

I bought a Pick-n-glider several years ago. Very comfortable and relaxing. I get animated when I play an upbeat tune and it's hard to keep from rocking back and forth. It's well made and will...

I have several NS minis and love them for all the reasons above. However it did leave a mark on the front and back of my headstock. The mando has an oil varnish finish which is a softer finish. ...

I had a similar problem after putting on new strings. One of the A strings had a buzz on the second and third frets. Turned out the string had a tiny kink in it. Had me scratching my brain for...

I saw the first 7 photos but I didn't see any banjo.

I had mine done professionally. Also be aware of any fret wear that exists under the current string spacing and where that wear will be under the new spacing. You may have to dress the frets to get...

I do recall seeing a list of naturally left handed players who play right handed. Among them were Sam Bush and Tim OBrien. Doesn't seem to hurt their plying any.

I have #546, an A3 built in 1990. Great sound and playability. The most comfortable to play of my 6 mandolins. Has a steeper neck angle than the others. Had trouble with the bridge leaning forward...

I also have the Jimmy Campbell CD and both Mike and Bill Monroe are on there. Great CD, by the way.

AWESOME!!!!!!!

Mike handed me his Gil once after a concert and I was so shocked and stunned I couldn't think of a single tune worthy of playing so I just held it for a about a minute and gave...

Wait! This is a Joke?

1. Wash pick and hand with soap and water then dry them thoroughly.
2. Lick your fingers lightly before gripping the pick.
3. Loosen your grip on the pick, as loose as you can without dropping...

Very helpful. Thanks. I'll try these suggestions.

I think Tom Rozum plays some of the tastiest breaks you'll hear. As mainly a sideman, he doesn't get near the recognition he deserves as a musician. He also plays mandola, guitar, and fiddle.

Been playing the mandolin for several years but am new to the mandola. So far it seems to me that open chords are more effective on the mandola than closed or chop chords. Is this true? I have an...

My question is: When the readout display is behind the headstock can you see the screen at all times while tuning, without repositioning the tuner once or twice so that your left hand isn't blocking...

"I bit my tongue and politely told the others I would not be coming back."

Re-read your own words:

"So in short what I am saying is enjoy whatever you play no matter what it is and dont let the...

I was at Grass Valley also and Joe's mandolin did have some deep tone to it. I tried to make out the name on the headstock. I was too far away to see it clearly but it looked like a rather short...

After several years of playing, I don't think I've played the same song/tune the same way twice. It's not intentional and talent. I just can't remember exactly how I played it the previous time. I'm...

Yep, not bad for a natural left hander....or right hander for that matter.
