    Re: Best Website for Lessons/Tips/Videos/etc.

    Hi there,

    I don’t know what kind of music you’re interested in.

    It’s always easier to start on a new instrument...
  2. Re: I think i may have gotten some wrong information.

    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.

  3. Re: I think i may have gotten some wrong information.

    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...

    Re: Modified Mandolin

    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.

    Re: Tailpiece

    Hey Ivan,

    Putting other parts of better quality can have a big influence on your sound.

  14. Re: This helped me relate between guitar and mandolin

    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.

    Mostly I use Dunlop .073 picks for mandolin. I also use the picks on my guitars.
