I didn’t exactly miss it Bill, after I posted that comment, I realized that you had qualified what you said and that my comment wasn’t really fair. No offense, the truth is that I don’t think it’s a...
The big issues with your grandpa's mandolin would be condition, particularly neck action.
I'm one of the folks that plays bowlbacks regularly, mostly Italian music, choro, Klezmer, and classical....
Congratulations Bill, my friend from Ohio showed me pictures of the Stiver and promised to bring it to the next jam. He's a monster on the banjo!
Pittsburgh Bill -- My surgery sounds quite different from finger joint replacement. A bone is removed and eliminates the pain from the arthritis. I looked up finger joint replacement and it looks...
Also, I’ll add that I never had an unhappy buyer … but if I had, I would have accepted a return. In fact, I’d accept one back today if it were in the same condition. They can’t be replaced for what I...
Why is it that those folks that are trying to sell a mandolin, and producing a video, only play hot licks and chords. I would like to hear the individual strings one at a time. It would only take a...

Depends. Is it a Rogue or a Gilchrist?
I wouldn't want the Mando to sleep any colder than me. Will it get lonely and perhaps go with a passing stranger? I've heard they sometimes do that.

Does anyone else have trouble with mp3 links like this? When I click one, it prompts me to download an html page, and has always done, on many devices.
IMHO, it is always best to place an mp3 link...
It's been a while since my last Beatles arrangement. Here's what I came up with the other day for their song "In My Life."
I did all the past Beatles arrangements on mandola, but for some reason...
Hi mando friends,
A couple of weeks ago we performed at the Oregon coast. We almost always forget to set up recording equipment, but this time someone from our audience recorded us and put it on...

My impression of the questions posed by the OP show the more recent trend in some classical transcriptions to indicate supposedly valiant attempts to make everything exactly in a transcription using...
That would depend on the style and period of the music in question. For styles of mandolin that I play, tremolo expresses something even when used as a default technique - it expresses how long notes...
Australian builders had access to some good local wood, but I think it's really a story of those individuals rather than a whole country.
From what I know of Gilchrist, Duff and Coombe, they all...
I posted this in the Mandolin Mondays thread, but it really belongs here.
Check out Luke Williams Wright and his wonderful compositions for the mandocello.
Luke is one of the players and...
Personally I prefer the A style but that's just me
I am at an age where I can’t play all the instruments I have collected. I have sold a number of them and given each of my three sons various Martins, Nationals and others. It gives me happiness. ...
With the right hand, you have:
Proper downstroke, where you hand rests on the string under the one you are playing, pick points (pointy part) upwards 45°
Proper alternate stroke. Pick is short...
Hey all, I learned John Reischman's ripping solo from "Nesser" off Up in the Woods and made a little video. Hope you enjoy.

I have experimented with calico tuning, AEAC#. Very interesting sound. It makes an A major chord when strummed open.
I had a collection of tunes written in various popular cross tunings, including...
I don't know if you've seen the threads regarding sawmill tuning. Here's one. I don't know of any books that deal with open mandolin tunings.
