  1. Re: How do YOU play the C section of Jerusalem Ridge?

    I learned this version as well and highly recommend the lesson. His by ear lessons are a great learning experience and reasonably priced.

    Re: Bounce Away Transcription

    This is a really great mandolin tune. I learned the tune from a transcription by AlanN in the key of A that I got off the Mandolin Cafe. Thanks for sharing your transcription.
  5. Re: Why do some higher end mandos return to the market so quickly

    Given the number and geographic dispersion of higher end mandolin builders and retailers, I would think that more than 50% are bought without the buyer having the opportunity to play the mandolin...

    Re: Changing strings

    Assuming it would fit, you might want to get a James tailpiece and the problem will go away.

    Re: Why is the A string always jacked up?

    I don't agree that it is set-up with my instruments. All my instruments are set-up by very highly regarded luthiers and play very well.

    It is usually the open A strings on the mandolin that go...

    Re: Why is the A string always jacked up?

    I was told by a luthier that it is usually the thickest guage steel strings that are the hardest to keep in tune. Besides the A strings on my mandolins, I find the G string on my Telecaster and the...

    Re: "New" KM-DAWG

    For the record, Halifax isn’t exactly the frozen north. Still no snow here and being on the coast when it does snow, it tends not to hang around too long unless it is snows during late January...

  12. Re: How is Tuning Drift with Rubner Tuning Machine

    I have Rubner tuners on my 80’s Kentucky F mandolin. They would be a few years old and stay in tune well and turn easy. Usually tuning is required only when the humidity level changes. Otherwise,...

    Re: MIJ KM1000 vx Dawg

    I had an 84 KM-Dawg that was stellar sounding. However, I found my hands would cramp a fair bit and I sold it.

    I have an 85 KM-650. It is a good sounding mandolin but not on the same level as...

    Re: Fret Material / Type Differences

    I have the 0.043 on my Kentucky KM 650 and the 0.037 on my Kimble F5. To be honest I don’t think I would have noticed the difference if it wasn’t pointed out to me by the luthier who refretted the...
  16. Re: What strings have you tried on your Kimble?

    John Pearse Phosphor Bronze set# 2160 (12,15,26,40) are the strings I use on my 2007 Kimble F5. I like 12’s on the high e strings.

    I use set# 2170 (12,16,26,40) on my 80’s Japanese made Kentucky...
  17. Re: Oil varnish with a french polish-best way to clean?

    To remove hazing, Will Kimble advised me to use Novus #2 on my Kimble F5 which is French polished.

    He said to put a dime sized drop on a clean cloth and rub it into the cloth before applying. Do...

    Re: Looking at an early Kimble

    I have a 2007 F5 (#124) that I think is pretty stellar but I haven’t played many high end mandolins other than an 84 Kentucky DAWG that I used to own several years ago.
