Hi, everyone. I got my copy of Heroes in the mail on Saturday. Wonderful, and informative. I haven't gotten to the "dense" parts yet, but so far it's great. Thanks as always, Sheri!

It also looks to me like there's a neck angle problem, and that the treble end of the fretboard is higher than the octave fret. A not uncommon problem with bowlbacks in my limited experience, but it...

Actually, besides the upright piano in the dining room, and violin lessons at school, mandolin was my first instrument. I found it in the attic when I was about 13 (that would be 1965), and asked my...

Hi, all.
