  4. Re: New album from Baron Collins-Hill and Noah Fishman

    Thanks y’all! It’s always fun making music with Noah!

    Yes, it looks like I dropped the ball on Safe Harbor Rag. I learned it as being from the repertoire of Dick Walton and not that he has...
  5. Re: Tiny adult wants to learn bluegrass!

    I spend 95% of my chording/accompaniment time playing double stops on the G and D strings exclusively. For example, a 75XX G chop chord, 52XX C chop, and 74XX D chop. I leave out the higher strings...

  8. Re: the mandola in the new Nickel Creek video

    That's a mandola made by Lawerence Smart. I think he's had it for many years but it doesn't make that many appearances.

    Re: I know this may sound crazy, BUT;

    A quick way to try this out is to string a mandola with light gauge mandolin strings tuned to FCGD (terraces step down from mandolin) and then put a capo on the second fret.

    If you want to do...

    Re: Loar K-5 Mandocello

    I’ve got a 10 string K-5 from Lawrence Smart that I adore. I’m sure he’d make an 8 string if he hasn’t already!

  15. Re: Gilchrist Using The Tone Traveler On Mike Compton's Mandolin

    Science aside (and I'm generally in the camp of instruments *do* open up), if you (rather than a machine) put the requisite energy into the instrument yourself you'll be able to pull better tone out...

    Re: Balancing a headstock-heavy CBOM?

    I know the feeling! Looks like you are using a nice wide strap, but perhaps something with more grip? I use a leather strap (nothing fancy) with a slightly rough natural underside that helps keep the...

    I'm asking for some pretty specific hardware that doesn't exist and have a vision in my head, so I'm more than happy to do some scouting, they are also on the case.

    Re: Strings for gold tone mandocello?

    I saw that set, and I assume that’s what’s on it right now, but I don’t love the D string 34, as is up around 35 lbs of tension compared to about 25 for the other three courses. Also the phosphor...

    I pretty much learned to play mandolin by pouring over these tabs as a kid, and it makes me so happy to see the project get new life! Thanks Larry!
